Meatpacking District, New York

Sandwiched between Chelsea and Greenwich Village lies the Meatpacking District. It’s a lively little enclave filled with fancy shops, hotels, and killer eats, but it wasn’t always this glam. Like most of NYC, and especially Manhattan, the area has gone through several incarnations.

The Meatpacking District sits roughly between Horatio Street on the south, West 16th Street on the north, the West Side Highway on the west, and Eighth Ave./Hudson Street on the east. The area takes its name from the hundreds of meatpacking plants and slaughterhouses that used to inhabit it. Once, the district was a major hub for meat wholesalers, but today only a handful remain.
