May 28
Meatpacking landmark Florent is closing June 29, just as the Highline is on its way and a new downtown Whitney Museum is coming to the same block, putting a seal on the neighborhood’s complete transformation that Florent first catalyzed 23 years ago. We didn’t get to enjoy the restaurant enough these two years living close by in Chelsea, but we were always happy it was there — a favorite place and a refuge from the pretention all around it. I love this Florent / Fo’ Rent image, via the restaurant’s brilliant webmistress Alison Zack. See also her site for Florent, which I always liked for its recreation of the look of Florent’s bulletin board, and includes details on closing festivities. Go while you can — and make sure you try the couscous stew (with chicken and merguez sausage), which I’m going to miss intensely. update:  I hadn’t seen it at the time, but Frank Bruni at the NY Times published an excellent oral history of Florent.
