The Last Meatpacker of NYC's Meatpacking District Reflects on Change

Reported about 12 hours ago

John Jobbagy, the last meatpacker in New York City's historic Meatpacking District, recalls the transformation of the area from a meat production hub to a chic neighborhood filled with luxury boutiques and restaurants. Having worked in the industry since the 1960s, Jobbagy reflects on the decline of meatpacking businesses in Manhattan due to modernization and urban development, which has reshaped the once gritty locale into a vibrant cultural space. As he prepares to retire alongside his employees, he hopes to preserve the memories of a past that has long since vanished.
