Meatpacking Sights

Took a chilly walk around the Meatpacking District and snapped a few photos. I really like the imposing feeling I get from the Standard Hotel as it straddles the High Line.

Standard Hotel

The Standard Hotel straddles the High Line in a pretty spectacular fashion.

The streets here are a bit stark and rough around the edges. No longer lined with the abattoir’s blood-filled gutters, they are now home to boutiques for the rich. This shot is a bit ordinary, but there’s something about it that pleases me.

Finally, we have some dinner activities, where a chopstick has been co-opted as a stylus for a blackberry keyboard.
