CBGB's and now Florent, this is so sad. It seems landlords who push out these institutions don't neccessarily do so well. Bad karma, or as the article says killing the goose. Hope New York doesn't kill the whole flock. Disney, Bloomberge, and any kind of chain store/restaurant kills New York. The city has been the place to get things you can't get elswhere since Ben Franklins time, and Florent is a prime example.
