"Loud with a few hidden gems"

West 21st is probably not a spot were most people would want to settle down, at least it's not their first choice. The street has been under construction for as long as I can remember and the noise level at all hours is a bit more than most are willing to deal with. With that being said it does have a few fun gems hidden within the construction and noise. Porky's, between 5th and 6th, for example is a super fun spot for the young adult crowd; mostly singles. Try out one of the fishbowl drinks on the menu and the underwhelming atmosphere of 21st Street will fade away. Leave the kids at home for this one, of course.

"In The Mood"

Seemingly unassuming, wedged at the edge of Chelsea, W21st street offers very little in variation from the rest of the city. However, there are some choice locations that are a good bet for dinner or just to walk around in. At the intersection with 6th ave, there is a great Belgian restaurant called MARKT, where the specialty is that many of the menu items are actually cooked with various Belgian beers. The Restaurant itself has a tremendous selection of Mussels and seafood, and not to mention the beers on tap. Next door to this establishment is New York Burger Co, a terrific comfort food location, which even has some not so sinful items on the menu!

"I've seen better streets"

Overall this street was underwhelming and I really didn't see much in the way of things to do. I also wasn't impressed with the housing options or the noise. I could never live here.

West 21th Street is close to the following metro stations: A, C, E, L at 34th Street, Penn Station, 1,2,3 at 28th Street, an the B,D,F,N, J, R, N, W at 34th Street & Herald Square. It is also accessible to many buses. Foot traffic is light, and it is a good neighborhood for any one with ear plugs!

"21st St. Between 5th & 6th"

Constant construction in this area is rather annoying. It also isn't the cleanest. During the summer, the street smells along with the dumpsters. However, it is very close to all the amenities of Fifth Ave. and Union Square. Markt is a Belgian restaurant with the best mussels. The Burger Co. on 6th Ave. is quite the gourmet burger with all of the different sauces they provide. It is also very close to the Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park. There is a Chase bank on the corner of 5th and 21st. A new Starbucks is right on 21st as well. If you are into the club scene, Duvet is very close by.
