Summary
Stroll the historic part of the Meatpacking District with Jacquie Ottman, "the Meatpacking Lady", whose family’s storied meat business parallels that of the district itself. Your walking tour starts at Gansevoort Plaza, the Belgian-brick lined intersection of five Manhattan blocks that spans over four centuries of NYC transformation. Then, retrace the steps of a Lenape Trail, enjoy examples of architecture commissioned by the Astors and other Gilded Age families, and visit the site of an 1812 Military fort. Learn why this area became the center of meatpacking in NYC during the 20th Century, and see where NYC’s meat purveyors still conduct business. Cap off the walk by taking in a stunning view of New York harbor. Get answers to your questions from someone who experienced the district in the 1970s first hand.
