Jersey Man Shocked Meatpacking District Has Meatpackers

The Meatpacking District is home to some of New York's most glamorous and sophisticated hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and shops. But did you know that it is also home to honest to goodness meatpackers too? If you didn't know that, don't feel too bad. 35 year old New Jersey investment manager Josh Knechtel didn't know either, telling the Daily News that he "didn't think any meat packers were left." Well, there are Josh, and if everything goes according to plan, the industry that preceded the glitz and glamor of the modern MPD will be co-existing with Andre Balazs and company well into the future.
