Hi, I'm David Hill with New York Habitat.
Welcome back to the second part of our video series
dedicated to the Meatpacking District.
New York Habitat Video
with David Hill
The Meatpacking District - Part 2, Manhattan, New York
The Meatpacking District is roughly bordered
by West 14th street to the north,
Gansevoort Street to the south,
the Hudson River to the west
and Hudson Street to the east.
It is located between two other great neighborhoods,
Chelsea to the north and the West Village to the south.
In our first episode,
we took you through some history
of the Meatpacking District,
including its transformation in the 90s
with the arrival of high end retailers.
We also took you to Chelsea Market
and Pier 54.
And speaking of retailers,
let's check out the shopping scene here
in the Meatpacking District!
On 14th Street
you'll find some of the most
well-known international brands
like Diane von Furstenberg,
Charles Nolan,
Alexander McQueen,
Stella McCartney,
Theory,
and Hugo Boss.
But there are also some main stream retailers
you won't want to miss.
Stop at AllSaints
if you're looking for hip clothes
and want to experience
one of the neighborhood's factory spaces
in its raw state.
If you are interested in seeing the modern classics
as well as the new and innovative,
check out the furniture store, Vitra.
Tory Burch has a clothing store
in the Meatpacking District that is a must see.
Be sure to pop in.
If you're in the Meatpacking during the day,
and you're exhausted from all the shopping,
take a break
and visit one of the many popular art galleries
in the neighborhood.
For example, Wooster Projects,
an unassuming gallery on West 15th St.
Head over to Ground Zero Museum Workshop,
known as the "Biggest LITTLE Museum in New York".
You'll find rare photos
and artifacts
collected during the recovery period at Ground Zero.
If you'd like to experience the Meatpacking District
like a true local,
you should definitely rent a vacation rental
or furnished apartment from New York Habitat.
There's no better way to experience this city
than to live in a true New York apartment.
Cooking at home is a great option to have
when in New York,
but you'll also want to go out in the
Meatpacking District
to experience all that it has to offer.
The neighborhood is very busy
on weekend nights
because all the best restaurants,
clubs and bars
are all within walking distance of each other.
You'll be sure to have a great time
in this high style neighborhood.
For a few good places to eat,
check out these Meatpacking hotspots:
Pastis at 9 9th Ave
Spice Market at 403 W. 13th Street
Macelleria at 48 Gansevoort Street
Nero D' Avola at 46 Gansevoort St
and Bill's Burger and Bar at 22 9th Ave
And if you're looking bars and lounges,
here are a few to get you started:
The Hotel Gansevoort Rooftop Bar/Lounge
at 18 9th Avenue, at 13th Street
The Boom Boom Room in the Standard Hotel
at 848 Washington St
The Standard Beer Garden
also at 848 Washington St
And Brass Monkey at 55 Little W 12th St
The Meatpacking District is about
2 or 3 miles from Central Park in that direction,
but if you're looking for a quick escape from the city,
you'll find the small 14th St Park right at 10th Ave.
Well that's a wrap of the
second half of our video series
dedicated to the Meatpacking District.
