The Meatpacking District went from actual slaughterhouses to the most glamorous four blocks in downtown Manhattan so fast it gave everyone whiplash. The cobblestone streets now lead to rooftop bars, designer boutiques, and restaurants where the lighting alone cost more than most people's rent. It's a scene, and it knows it's a scene, and it doesn't care that you know it's a scene. Come dressed.
The Meatpacking District transformed from literal slaughterhouses to NYC's nightlife and fashion epicenter. Cobblestone streets now host luxury hotels, celebrity-chef restaurants, exclusive nightclubs, and high-end boutiques. The southern entrance to the High Line draws crowds. Weekend nights bring bottle-service clubs and long lines. It's expensive, scene-y, and unapologetically glamorous. Expect to dress up, wait in line, and pay Manhattan prices. If you want to see where New York's beautiful people party, this is it.
