Meatpacking District

Industrial roots. A contemporary outlook.

The Meatpacking District’s low industrial buildings and Belgian-block streets form a distinctive setting beside the Hudson River. The Whitney Museum, the southern end of the High Line, and nearby Chelsea Market connect its working past with a strong cultural and design presence.

The neighborhood blends restaurants, shops, hotels, and a limited collection of residential buildings. It is a compact area with an active public life, closely connected to the quieter residential streets of the West Village and the gallery blocks of Chelsea.
