Courtesy of Brian Moylan at Gawker this is precisely why not to go the Meatpacking District:

"It's full of Scandinavian tourists, hoochie mommas from New Jersey trying to have their Carrie Bradshaw moment, and guys who wear a jacket and tie to hide the fact that the fattest thing on their body—next to their wallet—is their gut. There's even an Ed Hardy store down there, for fuck's sake."

 Amen.
