New York’s Meatpacking District is now known for its trendy boutiques, chi chi restaurants avantgarde art galleries, and the Highline, but for over a hundred years it was the center of the meatpacking industry within the greater Metropolitan area. Jacquie Ottman, a fifth generation member of a family whose storied meat-purveying business traces to NYC’s Fulton Market of 1850, will unpack the history of the Meatpacking District starting from the
vantage point of Gansevoort Plaza, a magical, and most unusual, intersection of five Manhattan blocks with a ‘view’ of over four centuries of NYC transformation.
