With a name like the Meatpacking District, it is somewhat surprising that this New York neighbourhood is now a glamorous location. Once the headquarters of the meat industry, this neighborhood has been transformed completely (but former meatlockers and meat packers still remain). At the corner of Ninth Avenue and 14th Street, you'll see the high tech Apple Store, mobbed day and night. The cobblestone streets are home to all the latest designer boutiques, Jeffrey, Stella McCartney, Catherine Malandrino. In addition, you will also find the hippest hotels and fantastic restaurants. Whether you are a fashionista or a foodie, Meatpacking District has you covered.
