NYC's Meatpacking District just became Jersey City's Meatpacking District

The largest meatpacker of them all, DeBragga & Spitler, has moved operations from trendy NYC to hardscrabble Jersey City (and shouldn't meatpacking businesses be located in hardscrabble areas?) to a new plant on Amity Street a couple blocks west of the Jersey City Medical Center.

Co-owner George Faison said he was quite happy with the move and it really came off without a hitch. He said when it became apparent he was outgrowing his NYC digs where to go “I had my eye on Jersey City from day one."

The Jersey City Desk welcomes our newest neighbors, DeBragga & Spitler.
