Hotel Chelsea

3.5 years ago I read a book by Chuck Klosterman and in it he talks about staying at the Hotel Chelsea. He described the deaths that had occurred there (his book, Killing Yourself To Live, was like a road trip all about death and studying famous deaths—while literally on a road trip) and now that I've moved to the Chelsea area, I see the hotel pretty often and think of him and his book whenever I do.

It is pretty cool to walk past this historical piece of property located on West 23rd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues. I happened to be doing some grocery shopping right up the street...
