Best Date Ideas in the Meatpacking District<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Meatpacking District is home to New York’s hippest restaurants, clubs, museums, and galleries. Home to the High Line (an elevated park constructed on top of an abandoned train line), its\u2019 old-world cobblestone streets are full of charm and vibrant\u00a024\/7.<\/p>\n

Located in between the West Village and Chelsea neighborhoods for over 20 years, the Meatpacking District has been home to artists, designers, Gansevoort Market<\/a> (1884), Chelsea Market<\/a>, and the creative vanguard of New York City. The mix of contemporary and historical architecture coupled with an industrial flare of factories makes the Meatpacking District full of post-modern charm (as portrayed by the filmmaker Gregoire Alessandrini\u00a0<\/a>in the Meat Market 1993<\/em>). In addition, the shroud of the Jimmy Rackover murder scene<\/a> adds to the mystery and allure of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore together all the charm, adventure, and inspiration that the Meatpacking district has to offer.<\/p>\n
