The Meatpacking District certainly lived up to its reputation this week. It had a week full of celebrity sightings, upscale restaurant/hotel drama, love connections and of course, meat.
+Inspired and appalled by Lady Gaga, the Old Homestead Steakhouse decided to create its own version of the famous meat dress Gaga donned for the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year.
+The New York Post reported on the mandatory 20 percent gratuity that the Gansevoort Hotel has been imposing on their wine, beer and cocktails…HOWEVER, the Hotel was quick to cover its tracks releasing a statement to The Gothamist, telling how they will forgo the mandatory tip after all.
+Who says the MePa is only about fine dining and meatpackers, you can find a lil’ bit of love too. Thuy and Brian held their ceremony at The Park Restaurant, and then proceeded to the High Line for a wedded bliss photo-op.
+With Halloween over, and Thanksgiving and Christmas sure to come and go, the Meatpacking District is gearing up for one of its biggest celebrations of the year: New Year’s Eve. The Gansevoort Hotel is already preparing and promising for a bash that is set to be better than any of the past.
+The Meatpacking was filled with celebrity sightings this week as Carey Mulligan stopped by the High Line and Kim Kardahsian dined at the uber trendy Villa Pacri. Her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, took to the streets to engage in some retail therapy.
+There is one healthy, living cow in New York City and surprisingly it’s not in the Meatpacking District. Othello, a dexter cow, has found a home in the Central Park Zoo, and is the only one of its kind to call Manhattan home. Hopefully he doesn’t travel below 14th Street at 4 a.m., he won’t like what he sees.
The weekend is only a few hours away, so we can be sure this is just the beginning of interesting news to come out of the MePa.
