The Meatpacking District

Touting itself as “the quintessential 24-hour neighborhood,” New York’s Meatpacking District embodies the spectrum of urbanity. At any given time of day, you’ll find yourself among meatpacking plants, high end fashion boutiques, and “I’m on the list” nightclubs, all while never giving this apparent dissonance a second thought. SphereMagazine.com takes you inside.
