Atlas Meats Gone

In the fresh emptiness, the battering ram High Line is now visible. Alongside, where Interstate Foods had its sign, there's nothing but a hollow. And so "MePa" is swept even cleaner, as this space awaits another glass tower.

    Wasn't Third Avenue on the East Side, you know, the most boring streetscape in Manhattan, once a seedy, raucus area at one time?

    What a shame. These are the buildings that define the neighborhood. At what point do we start calling it the "$20 cocktail district?"
