When John Jobbagy’s grandfather immigrated from Budapest in Hungary to the United States in 1900, he joined a throng of European butchers chopping up and shipping off meat in a loud, smelly corner of Manhattan that New Yorkers called the Meatpacking District.
Jobbagy and the other tenants in the district’s last meat market have accepted a deal from the city to move out so the building can be redeveloped, the culmination of a decades-long transformation.
“The neighbourhood I grew up in is just all memories,” said Jobbagy, 68. “It’s been gone for over 20 years.”
