Beschrijving [b]The Meatpacking District[b] "New York’s most fashionable neighborhood"
Once known as Gansevoort Market, is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It runs roughly from West 16th Street South to Gansevoort Street, and from the Hudson River east to Hudson Street.

For decades the Meatpacking District was a center for New York City's slaughter and meatpacking industry. Beginning in the early 1990s, the Meatpacking District went through a formidable transformation; today, high-end clothing stores and restaurants together with trendy bars cater to young professionals and "hipsters." This, coupled with still-active meatpacking companies in the area, contribute to the area's "gritty glam" appeal. In 2004, New York magazine called the Meatpacking District "New York’s most fashionable neighborhood".[1] The Meatpacking District was even used as the setting for a movie premiere in The Sopranos, where Carmela Soprano mentions how "trendy" it has become. Also in popular culture, Samantha Jones, a character in HBO's Sex in the City ends up moving to an expensive loft-style apartment in the district.

Despite these changes, vestiges of the meatpacking industry remain. Visitors to Washington Street in the early morning hours will see active meat shipments from warehouses between the boutiques and cafes.

The Meatpacking District has also become one of the most popular nightlife spots in recent years. With the opening of clubs such as Tenjune, One, Cielo, APT, PM, and Aer, accompanied by celebrity hotspots like Pastis, the Meatpacking District is proving to become stiff competition for Chelsea's 27th Street.
