Macarons and Meditation: A Rainy Day in Chelsea

Do not let the weather get you down! In Chelsea, you can explore some of the indoor offerings of the Side Streets. Start with a coffee and a delightful treat at 23rd Street’s La Maison du Macaron. For some old-school fun, hit up Barcade, where the arcade games can keep you entertained for hours on end – not to mention the craft brews and delicious eats. Stop by the Kadampa Meditation Center of New York and sit in on a free meditation session before heading to CUE Art Foundation to check out the most recent exhibit. Check out all the glittering crystals and rare stones at Rock Star Crystals and then run across the street to Naturopathica, where you can pick up spa products with which to continue your rainy-day self-care at home, and then make your own masterpiece at La Mano Pottery. End the day with a drink or dinner at The Ainsworth, where the chandeliers and wood paneling will keep you feeling warm, cozy, and just a little luxurious.
