Today’s Top 5

This is the Meat Market District

What was displaced when the World Trade Center was built were wholesale electronic parts dealers.

That was a great place

I use to work in the Washington Market after school around 1964.

photos

i am looking for some photos of the market..in particular Cuneo bros. if anyone has any information or photos..it would be much appreciated..thank you...Ach

Park there now

There is a park there at Chambers and Greenwich called the Washington Market Park.

Neighborhood

This would be down in TriBeCa, not the Meatpacking District as alluded to. The Washington Market was a huge produce market, as well as the center of the butter & egg trade, for many years, until development displaced it (especially the building of the WTC).

[Thanks for the info. I have a series of Washington Market photos to post this week. - Dave]

The funny part is...

...this is a very expensive nightlife-heavy part of town now. But the cobblestone streets are still there.

[Interesting. What neighborhood is it? - Dave]
