Florent restaurant closing in NYC June 29
Another one bites the dust.
Florent, a French bistro in a diner in what was once the meat-packing district is closing its doors June 29. There was an oral history of sorts in the NYTimes this Wed to bid Florent "Au Revoir".
Florent was open 24/7 which was a plus in the clubbing days but more recently it was also a good place to go when, arriving in New York from LA around midnight, I wanted to have dinner and the whole Upper East Side was shut down.
Actually, one funny visit occured last year when we arrived in the City around 11, and my daughter was starving -- every place was closed so we hit upon going to Florent -- where despite it being midnight and some of the pre- and non breeders gave us the hairy the staff treated her with delight, serving pasta, french bread and a glass of milk.
One day hence, somehow will be talking about the Florent that was, or she will read about in a book, and say, "My parents took me there when I was a child."
