“The rats were huge! That’s something I don’t miss. They were rats as big as cats, so you had to walk in the middle of the street. Once you got to 8th Avenue, you were pretty safe, but 13th Street… Forget about it, it was a street run.”
—Dave Ortiz, owner of Dave’s Warehouse, on his memories of the Meatpacking District in 1993
