According to the Diner’s Journal, Meatpacking District staple, Florent, will be closing on June 29, the Sunday of Gay Pride. Florent has been serving bistro-style food at all hours of the day and night since 1985, and now the time has come to close the doors. Another MePa spot bites the dust, just like The Hog Pit. But I love how the owner of Florent in going out in style with his final 5 weeks reflecting the 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance (starting May 26). I’m trying to decide which week I want to attend. Anger could be a very feisty, firey experience and maybe I’d be allowed to smash glasses and through plates, but bargaining could be cheaper?!?! Does that even make sense? Man, I’ll do anything for a cheap meal!
