A Day in Chelsea Filled with Art and Good Taste

Chelsea has a rhythm of its own, art galleries, street life, and that creative energy that makes New York feel alive.
If you’re planning a cultural afternoon, Templon NYC is a must. Known for its contemporary exhibitions and international artists, the gallery invites you to slow down, look closely, and get inspired.

And when that artistic exploration turns into hunger, or you simply want to share impressions over a great meal, Porteño Restaurant is waiting just a short walk away.


The Perfect Plan Around Templon NYC

There are two perfect ways to plan your day:

  • Start with art, end with flavor. Spend the afternoon exploring the works at Templon, then enjoy dinner at Porteño, a space filled with warmth, conversation, and the aromas of Argentina.
  • Or flip the plan. Begin your day at Porteño with a relaxed lunch, delicious food, and great company before heading to Templon to immerse yourself in creativity and color.

Either way, it’s a perfect mix of culture and cuisine, exactly what a Chelsea day should be.

A Cozy Place with Heart

Stepping into Porteño feels like being welcomed by friends. The team, led by Jorge and George, always greets guests with a smile and a warmth that stands out in Manhattan’s fast pace.

The lighting is soft, the atmosphere calm, and the background music sets the tone for connection. It’s the kind of restaurant where time slows down, even just for a little while.

That’s what makes it perfect after a visit to Templon — when your mind is full of art and you’re ready to unwind, talk, and enjoy something comforting.
