The Meatpacking District is a 24-hour neighborhood located on the far west side of Manhattan, bordered by Chelsea and the West Village. With a wide range of restaurants and nightlife venues, people seeking quality experiences and atmosphere flock to the neighborhood. Despite decades of change—fashion and graphic designers, architects, artists, restaurateurs, world-renowned stylists and corporate headquarters have moved in alongside existing meatpacking plant—the area retains its character; historically through its architecture and cobblestone streets, and generally, with its eclectic mix of businesses and active community of residents and visitors.
