Chelsea & Meatpacking Car Service
Two neighbourhoods in one, twelve hours apart.
RideSoHo provides private car service across Chelsea and the Meatpacking District — the gallery blocks in the west 20s, Chelsea Market, the High Line, Ninth and Tenth Avenues, and the cobbled streets around Gansevoort.
Chelsea in the afternoon is galleries and quiet side streets. The Meatpacking District after nine is one of the busiest corners in the city, on cobbles, with almost nowhere to stand. Both are straightforward if the meeting point is agreed first.
Working Here
Three things Chelsea teaches you.
The West Side Highway is the advantage
A block away, most of the time.
North, south and to the tunnels — which makes Newark and downtown quicker from here than from most of Manhattan.
Meatpacking cobbles are the constraint
Gansevoort, Little West 12th, Washington.
Belgian block, narrow, and packed after nine. Evening pickup points are agreed before the night rather than found during it.
Gallery blocks are quiet
And easy to work.
The west 20s between Tenth and Eleventh have real kerb space through the day, which makes afternoon pickups among the easier ones downtown.
How People Book
Four ways Chelsea books.
Airport transfers
Newark via the tunnels is quick from here. JFK and LaGuardia served directly, flights watched from departure.
Evenings out
The Meatpacking District, with the meeting point settled before the night begins.
Galleries & art fairs
Afternoon rounds through the west 20s, held hourly so the car waits between them.
Hotel guests
The Standard High Line, Gansevoort and the Hoxton, coordinated with the front desk.
Around Here
What sits around you.
The West Side, from the galleries to the water.
The gallery district
West 20s between Tenth and Eleventh, quiet and workable through the day.
The High Line & Chelsea Market
Dropped at either end, and collected when you are ready.
The Meatpacking District
Cobbled, busy after nine, with pickup points agreed in advance.
The West Village
South across 14th Street, with narrow irregular blocks.
The tunnels
Lincoln and Holland both close, which is why New Jersey runs well from here.
Choosing a Vehicle
Depends on the hour and the street.
Gallery blocks take anything. Meatpacking cobbles at midnight are sedan and SUV territory.

Questions
Midtown, answered.
Where will the car collect me in the Meatpacking District at night?
From a point agreed when you book. The cobbled streets around Gansevoort fill after nine and offer almost no standing space, so the spot is settled in advance.
Are gallery pickups easier?
Considerably. The west 20s between Tenth and Eleventh are quiet through the day with real kerb space, which makes afternoon pickups straightforward.
Which airport is quickest from Chelsea?
Newark, usually — both the Lincoln and Holland tunnels are close. JFK and LaGuardia are served directly.
Can the car wait during a gallery round?
Yes, on an hourly booking. Afternoon rounds through the west 20s are a common hourly booking.
Do you serve The Standard High Line and Gansevoort?
Yes, along with the other Chelsea and Meatpacking hotels, coordinated with the front desk.
Can a Sprinter collect on Gansevoort?
Rarely, particularly at night. Where a larger vehicle is booked the pickup point moves to a workable street nearby.
Do you collect from the High Line?
Yes, from an agreed street at either end — vehicles cannot wait on the walkway itself.
Is Chelsea easier than SoHo for pickups?
In the gallery district, yes. Around Gansevoort at night, the constraints are similar and the meeting point matters just as much.
