In this 90-minute tour you'll walk through a neighborhood once filled with 125 meat packers, now transformed into one of the hippest and trendiest areas filled with restaurants, lounges, bars, and high-end fashion boutiques. You'll learn why this transition occurred and what is the future of this thriving New York Hotspot. Discover two old industrial areas - The outdoor area of Chelsea Market, former home of Nabisco from 1898 to 1958, and the Meat Packing District.

Highlights of the Tour Include:

* Stroll along the Hudson Water Front
* View the Meatpacking District where close to 20 meat packers still exist
* Take a peek at some of the upscale restaurants that have moved in, in the last couple of years

* Learn about the "Highline", New York's first elevated public park
* End the tour atop the Gansevoort Hotel with a stunning birds eye view of the West Village and the Hudson

TESTIMONIAL FROM OUR LAST WALKING TOUR: Yesterday's tour of the meat packing district was so informative and fun! I live on the upper east side and found myself being a tourist in my own city. Our tour guide Bob was so knowledgeable, funny and upbeat - the time just flew by! I am so looking forward to the next walking event! S.N From NYC
