When restaurateur Keith McNally opened the French bistro in 1999, the Meatpacking District was known for seedy sex clubs and meat sludge, but McNally saw potential on the corner of Little West 12th and Ninth Avenue.
When did the original Pastis open?
Opened Again: Pastis
Pastis first opened in 1999 while the surrounding neighborhood was still considered a seedy, industrial neighborhood of Manhattan. Since then, the Meatpacking District has been transformed into a culinary hotspot better known for its nightlife scene than its crime rate.
Where was the original Pastis?
300 feet: Approximate distance from the original Pastis, at 9 Ninth Avenue, to the new one at 52 Gansevoort Street. 30,000 subway tiles: Used by McNally to outfit the new restaurant, some of which decorate the classic zinc bar; he also selected 100 different antique mirrors.
