This is 99% invisible. I'm Roman Mars.

Oh, there's a horse.

And this is front of the show Sean Cole.

And it was 39th and 11th.

And Manhattan.

And there's a horse.

A horse-drawn carriage, of course.

There aren't just random horses wandering around Manhattan.

They're probably where at some point.

I am actually going to meet a woman to talk about cows.

It's hard to believe now.

Now, this area is really industrial. There's a busty poe.

But this part of Manhattan, the westernmost part, between, say, 34th and 39th streets.

This was cow country.

So we're talking the late 19th, early 20th centuries.

You had cattle being herded across 12th Avenue, which is now the West Side Highway.

Nicola Twilly is a woman I wanted to talk to about cows.

She writes a blog called Edible Geography.

There are pictures of 12th Avenue showing the cattle here, showing cowboys, which is crazy.

Get a long little doggie.

And cows were brought to this part of town, to be made into beef.

You've heard of the meat packing district.
