Chapter 2 of "The Great Gatsby" has two settings: the valley of ashes and New York.

Explanation:

In Chapter 2, narrator Nick is taken by his cousin's husband, Tom, to New York. However, on their way there, they stop at the valley of ashes, which most likely refers to the area of Queens separating Manhattan from the fashionable West and East Eggs. Nick describes this as a grey place, where everything, even men, seems to be made of ashes. This is where Tom's lover, Myrtle, lives.

Later on, they arrive at an apartment in New York, kept by Tom in order to have a safe place to meet and have fun with Myrtle. At this apartment, things can get wild. They invite some guests and, together, everyone consumes alcohol and other drugs. Nick takes part in most of this, but all the while remaining an outsider, as if he is rather dragged in instead of voluntarily participating.
