Celebrated in song and story, NY's Chelsea Hotel is closing, supposedly to be turned into a luxury hotel and/or condos.

"I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet."--Leonard Cohen, Chelsea Hotel No. 2

"All my friends keep telling me that it would be a shame
To break up such a grand success and tear apart a name..."--Jorma Kaukonen, Third Week in the Chelsea
