The Meatpacking District Dash Scavenger Hunt, presented by Watson Adventures October 4, 2008

Join Watson Adventures on a unique scavenger hunt for adults. Discover this exciting, trendy “new” neighborhood on a hunt that reveals the best of its chic sights, buzzing sounds, rough-and-tumble textures, savory tastes and enticing aromas. The full hunt features not just the transforming-before-your-eyes Meatpacking District but also a bit of Chelsea and the West Village. Highlights include Chelsea Market (birthplace of the Oreo), glitzy new restaurants, hotels and stores, a hotel that took in survivors from the Titanic, movie locations, glimpses of the abandoned High Line (an elevated railway being turned into a park), the blocks where Herman Melville once worked and Alexander Hamilton died, and John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s home before they moved to the Dakota.

Advance purchase is required and tickets can be purchased at watsonadventures.com. Watson Adventures also runs corporate and private scavenger hunts throughout the US.
