Meatpacking District / Chelsea Office Space New York
Now home to the Whitney Museum and the southern end of the Highline, the Meatpacking District has come a long way. The transformation could not be more remarkable; where there were still abattoirs and dive bars just a decade or two ago, now slick designer stores, destination dining and nightlife sit side-by- side, with New York’s exclusive Soho House and the perennially popular Standard Hotel defining the scene.Casual popular eateries include Chelsea Market, Grey Dog and Westville, while for Michelin-starred fare, Mario Batali and Joseph and Lidia Bastianich's Del Posto or the Maritime Hotel's La Sirena remain popular. Beneath the Maritime Hotel the hot spot Tao Downtown, serves fine pan-Asian cuisine within a club atmosphere, catering to celebrities and high-end clientle. In recent years the southern end of Chelsea has emulated its freshly-polished neighbor, the Meatpacking District, with shoppers heading to Renovation Hardware, Apple and upscale boutiques such as Comme des Garçons and Helmut Lang. In its west, affluent art collectors flock to the area's nearly 200 commercial art galleries.
Anchored by pre-war staples, such as Google's 111 Eighth Avenue, striking examples of modern architecture have injected new life into the old streets, including the IAC Building by Frank Gehry – InterActiveCorp's headquarters. This district is home to some of the City's largest and most progressive tenants, including Google, DVF, Major League Baseball and EMI Publishing. The Meatpacking District and neighboring Chelsea are served by A, C, and E trains along Eighth Avenue and the L train at 14th Street for journeys across town and to Brooklyn. 1, 2 and 3 train service is a short walk away on Seventh Avenue.
