NYC’s famous Meat Packing District is an area on the west side of Manhattan, west of Eighth Ave. to the Hudson River and south of 14th St. on the west side. Once home to New York’s meat packing industry, it has evolved from the gritty industrial area from which it got its name, to a high-end shopping and upscale nightlife destination. Popular attractions and points of interest include The Highline, The Standard Hotel and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Meat Packing bars are known as some of the hottest spots in the city.
In our continuous efforts to “connect the fun to the fun people”, we present our MurphGuide Directory of the top bars in the Meat Packing District:
