FLORENT'S CLOSING IN NY TIMES



NYTIMES

Yet another NYC institution forced to close by ridiculous rents. Restaurant Florent will have 5 days of closing parties, THE 5 STAGES OF LOSS, curated by Theater Tweed's Kevin Maloney with performances which should rival their old Bastille Day celebrations. You remember--those elegant affairs in July when the boiling heat and humidity fused with the rotting meat juices--when the meat-packing district still packed meat? Here's the line-up of performers:



And this just in! Beloved NYC drag veteran Ebony Jett will be wigging up for the closing festivities. Not sure which day, so check Florent's website for more the full, updated schedule.
