Manhattan Art Studios

Walk through Chinatown and Fragrant Restaurants and Intriguing Shops Will Call to You
The densely populated neighborhood of Chinatown, located in Manhattan, is considered to be both a popular tourist attraction, as well as a destination for New York residents. Numerous restaurants offering tasty dishes, bargain shops selling knickknacks and bargains of every kind, make Chinatown a destination.

This is not a quiet place for a relaxed stroll, and you may experience the syndrome known as “foot weariness,” but the energy in Chinatown is upbeat and contagious. This area of Manhattan is also home to some of the best art studios in New York.  

The Upper East Side of Manhattan is a mix of museums, boutiques, bars and restaurants
Home to Gracie Mansion, the official mayor’s residence, (although Michael Bloomberg preferred to continue living in his townhouse and never resided here), The Upper East Side is chock full of homes of the famous and wealthy. A walking tour of the area can make anyone feel like a Rockefeller for a day, with available shopping at boutiques and cozy, albeit not cheap, shops.  

For the art enthusiast, there is no shortage of art galleries to visit. The Acquavella, Jane Kahan, Leo Castelli, and Fabrizio's, to name a few, are all here!  

The Upper West Side of Manhattan is not as quick paced as some other areas of the city, making it quite attractive
This part of Manhattan is home to families, evident by the parades of parents pushing strollers on the sidewalks, making it a friendly visit. Central Park is here, which always merits a walk through, or a relaxed rest while enjoying lunch. The Park Conservancy hosts several walking tours, depending on the season; check their website for current info.

There are many gourmet food shops, worthy of maxing out your credit card, located here, as well as other specialty shops and high end stores. Some of the best art studios in New York are also located in this area of Manhattan.
