Coffee in Chelsea

A coffee bar in the lobby of the High Line Hotel, which occupies a wing of the General Theological Seminary on Tenth Avenue. There is a brick courtyard off the lobby with chairs under the plane trees, and in good weather that is where everyone sits. Pour overs and espresso, counter service, no table to be given.

Mon to Sun, 7am to 5pm

A coffee shop on West 16th just east of Eighth that also does eggs, sandwiches and a burger, from a counter you order at rather than a table you are seated at. Wooden chairs, old framed prints on the walls, mugs rather than paper cups if you are staying. It opens at eight and runs to nine at night every day of the week, which is a longer day than anything else on this block.

Mon to Sun, 8am to 9pm
