my first ever meatpacking "experience" was late one night in (probably) 1999 where, with a group of people, I was led into this glorious place at 4am past prostitutes walking the streets nearby. rip, florent

Enough already. Florent was dead 15 years ago. Why make such a big deal about it now? Only the half bit posers who frequented it since the eighties ended are sad!

It looks like Christine Quinn took care of whatever leftovers there were. (Oh, relax, I'm still voting for her...)

I always found it funny that the gays are gravitated towards the "meatpacking" district. they probably took it figuratively.

Who gives a sh*t! It's only a restaurant, and not a good one at that. Busy, rushed, crowded, mediocre food and service, a nutty queen for an owner who still can't pronounce his English well after 30 years here (NY1 had to provide a translation). So what do you think the landlord gave him to take over the business? A pretty penny, I bet. Enough!
