Tunnel was a legendary nightclub in New York City, located at 220 Twelfth Avenue, in the Chelsea district of Manhattan, in the Terminal Warehouse Company Central Stores Building, now part of the West Chelsea Historic District. Tunnel was opened in December 1986 at the cost of $5 million by Eli Dayan – the founder of Bonjour Jeans – in a space which was formerly a railroad freight terminal.
