Shopping, Restaurants, Nightlife
The Meatpacking District, also known as the Gansevoort Market, is only a few blocks, so you cannot get lost, but it is packed with upscale restaurants, night clubs and designer shopping. Like many NY neighborhoods, the MP District retains it’s historical architecture, as it is lined with cobblestone streets and old warehouses, but, today, these same buildings house very modern shopping and dining. The heart of the Meatpacking District is Little West 12th Street.

Recommended Restaurants
Nothing in the Meatpacking District is a bargain or discounted. The restaurants are considered hip and trendy, with excellent quality, and they are all beautifully decorated. It is a wonderful area, but not for the extremely budget conscious. These restaurants are likely not appropriate on busy weekend nights for families with young children. As this is a very hip area of NYC, the restaurants and clubs change every few months, sometimes more.
Standard Hotel – The Standard Grill restaurant and outdoor bar
Buddakan – huge and hip Asian restaurant. Featured in Sex and the City movie.
Little W 12th St Restaurants – STK (Steak), The Chester (American), Revel (fish/seafood) – cutest outdoor garden with lights
Plunge – the rooftop bar at the Gansevoort Hotel. Has a pool and beautiful views of the city.
