"The Chelsea Hotel has always been an absolute scene, with some of the coolest New Yorkers taking up residence there, like Bob Dylan and Patti Smith. There was a rush of virality when Café Chelsea opened due to a grid paper-like ravioles des dauphiné, making it pretty hard to get in. The hype has died down a bit, but the cool factor of the clientele has not. Plus, you can literally eat three meals in one day here and go to the bar for a nightcap, with a trip to the spa in between. Start your day with a perfect omelette or pain perdu, grab a Niçoise salad at lunch, and finish the day with maitake au poivre." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
