Meatpacking District Cool Factor

What is cool, and then not cool, and then cool, and then not cool, and then cool again. Read what the NY Post has to say...


DOWNTOWN Manhattan always has something going on if you know where to find it. But who would've ever guessed the much-mocked Meatpacking District would once again become a destination spot for area partygoers that don't wear Ed Hardy shirts and Axe body spray?

For nearly a decade, there seems to have been a one-cool-venue maximum imposed on the tourist-friendly night-life zone that was seemingly built to be a "Sex and the City" set.

Now these cobblestone streets lead to a few chic new boites not interested in catering to bailed-out bankers and gold diggers. And there's no doubt the area's better for it. Could it be the Meatpacking District is cool again?

Best Bet:Lucky Charms from New York Magazine

Here is a New York Magazine (dot)com mention from last week.

We wrote off charm bracelets sometime back in the nineties; the novelty of collecting a representative trinket for every occasion faded fast. We’ve since seen various incarnations of the personalized jewelry trend, from Carrie Bradshaw–spawned nameplate necklaces to Swarovski’s crystallized empire. But L.B. Valentine’s double-sided letter charms caught our eye with their tongue-in-cheek, mockingly cute images. "U" pairs a unicorn on one side with a pair of well-endowed tightie-whities; "J" depicts a jackpot and the ubiquitous jumpsuit; "T" shows a comely trapeze artist and target practice; and "M," fittingly, is for man and magnet (there’s something cheekily amusing about a having tiny male torso inscribed in fourteen-karat gold). Who says you have to stick to your own initials?

L.B. Valentine charms, $67 (sterling silver) or $496 (fourteen-karat gold) each at Auto or online.
