Marla Mitchnik grew up in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, back when it was nothing but butchers and slaughterhouses. Now the meatpacking industry is migrating to other parts of the city, making way for fancy restaurants with fancy patrons. Miriama Young visits with Marla and others to create this audio portrait of a changing neighborhood. The piece is adapted from Young’s longer audio documentary, "The Prime Cut."
