Your tour of the Meatpacking District kicks off at the Chelsea Market, which is known for its diverse food shops selling savory and sweet treats. You'll hear the history of this popular attraction that was once a Nabisco factory and sample baked goods while you enjoy some shopping.
Next, you'll head up to the High Line—a 1.45-mile (2.33 kilometer) park built on an elevated train line that's no longer in use. Learn about the controversy surrounding its development, and take in fantastic views of the West Side of Manhattan.
After a stroll through this popular park, you'll head into the heart of the Meatpacking District. See the Gansevoort Hotel and stunning Whitney Museum of American Art before walking past several high-fashion flagship stores and some trendy bars.
