One of our most popular and fun activities is our Chelsea Gallery Hop. On our second night in town, armed with a list of gallery openings, a big bunch of us meet at a pre-determined street corner in the Chelsea Art District – and away we go into the art-fueled night! This is a great opportunity to let loose with your fellow Roadtrippers and mix it up with local gallery goers!

773 St Nicholas Ave (near W 148 St)
It’s a tight squeeze and the drinks aren’t cheap ($7 Heineken), but, hands down, this is one of the city’s best live jazz experiences. Seriously. It’s the real deal. Talented local musicians and seasoned session players alike play nightly to a magical mingling of devout regulars, tourists and everybody in between. Monday night jams are legendary, and Saturday night Afrojazz affairs are more real than real. There’s no kitchen, but neighborhood cooks happily serve-up tasty home-style grub from catering tins they’ve brought from elsewhere. No cover but a two drink minimum.

Hop Kee
21 Mott St (at Mosco St), NYC
Almost unchanged since it opened in 1968, this is one of the few real-old-school Cantonese restaurants in New York’s Chinatown. Their mile-long, seafood-centered menu, which hasn’t changed much, I understand, in decades, offers standard-issue Chinese food – egg rolls, spare ribs, pork fried rice, vegetable lo mein – as well as lesser-known dishes, such as blackbean snails, pan-fried flounder and delicious Cantonese-style hardshell crab.
Fair portions, affordable to pricey, good for groups, late-night dining (til 4am Fri and Sat), time stands still here, BYOB.
