On June 5, 2010 the Meatpacking District and Chelsea neighborhoods hosted TASTES 2010, a food festival and fundraiser for the middle and high NYC Lab Schools. Each is a public school and funding goes to arts programs such as performance, culinary and fine art. TASTES is an annual outdoor event that lines Gansevoort St. and Gansevoort Plaza with restaurateurs, pedestrians and entertainment.

In 2005 criticism of the Gansevoort Plaza was that neighborhood revitalization was occurring more rapidly than safe pedestrian reclamation of the Plaza. Transportation Planners were hired to resolve conflicting traffic patterns and a safer Plaza has attracted more events.
Gansevoort St. is a path that leads to the nodal Gansevoort Plaza. Their activity is shaped by art and design exhibitions as well as dining. Again, occupant use shaped updates to the urban form. The re-design of the Plaza allowed a more functional pedestrian place.
