Chelsea's Carriage House mixes three time periods: The restaurant and bar opened a few weeks ago, housed in a former carriage house from the 1800's, with decor inspired by Southern California, circa 1950. Designed by the minimalists at Studio Gaia (they also did Republic, Bond St. and Jimmy's Uptown), the all-wood interior features a desert mural photograph along one wall and an elevated dining area overlooking the bar on the main floor below an expansive skylight. A bright yellow surfboard-shaped counter suspended from the ceiling is the centerpiece of the bar area, and the dining room features muted yellow seats paired with white-topped wood tables. The 2,200-square-foot space can seat 82. —Suzanne Ito
