By 1900, the Ganesvoort Market housed more than 250 slaughter houses and meat packing plants. A shift in demand changed the climate to a center for drug deals and prostitution rings (mainly for transsexuals) in the 1980's. Heavily hit my the heroine and crack-cocaine epidemic, the neighborhood wasn't cleaned up until retailers such as Diane von Furstenberg, Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen began to set up shop. Present-day Meat Packing caters to hipsters and young professionals- standing out as one of New York City's most fashionable neighbhorhoods.
