Visions in Motion
In August, Meatpacking and ARTNOIR launched FROM A PLACE OF PLACE, an immersive three-month, and five-part program featuring art and performance celebrating Black culture. Two performances as part of Visions In Motion, directed by artist Dario Calmese, were held on Gansevoort Plaza welcoming the public to view artists as storytellers, performers, and musicians at the nexus of contemporary Black culture.

The Gansevoort Hotel
The Gansevoort Hotel made a comeback in the neighborhood with a newly redesigned hotel. This moment was captured with the Gansevoort opening its doors for guests during the Flower Show with General Manager Anton Moore and a dress designed by Bree Original.

New neighbors
In 2021, the Meatpacking welcomed the opening of Little Island, David Hammons’ Days End at the Whitney, Genesis House, two:minds, Best Burger, and Aubi Ramsa in the neighborhood. Stay tuned for more new in 2022!

Espresso Martinis
We’d be remiss not to mention the cocktail of the year: espresso martinis. After a year at home in 2020, these drinks gave us the energy to soldier through reuniting with friends and coworkers. Read here for where to grab the fan favorite drink in Meatpacking.
