Pigeons.

So far, I've been able to give you a little bit of history about the Meatpacking, stuff going on now and just some other goodies to check out. Now, I'm going to be giving you a survival tip to keep in mind while visiting the historic Gansevoort Market. If you see one of these:

You must either a) walk in the other direction or b) cautiously proceed in the direction of this creature, while watching your step and your head. Upon investigation, it appears pigeons call both the underside of the Highline as well as the awnings of the remaining meatpackers home, creating quite the mess on the floor.
You may be reading this contemplating its legitimacy, but I assure you, a stroll about the MePa may turn from delightful, to downright crappy. Literally.




Believe me, they're watching...

Happy Exploring!
