New York Rentals – Meatpacking District

This small district is located from West 14th Street south to Gansevoort Street, from the Hudson River east to Hudson Street. The area was active back in the 1800s as a hub for open-air markets, pork and veal packers, lumberyards, and tenements. Streets are mostly cobblestone, and surrounding the area are a number of tucked-away, nightclubs, art galleries, and stylish late-night eateries, luring in a subculture all of its own. By day, butchers and meatpackers work hard in wholesale meat companies, and by night you’ll stumble upon fashionistas, creative types, and night owls looking for a place to settle. Notable areas include the High Line, the Ground Zero Museum Workshop, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
