Downtown Gotham laments closure of Meatpacking District eatery :: EDGE
Posted by Villagenyc
After 23 years of serving countless steak frites, muscles and Boudin Noire in an area more known for beef racks, leather daddy's, transgender prostitutes, club kids and Hogs and Heffers, the modern landmark 24 hour French diner that served the fashionable alongside the "freaky" has closed its doors. News reports account Morellet signed a lease for $6,000 in 1995. The landlord reportedly sought to increase the rent to around $700,000 per year-or $58,000 per month-this past year. And Morellet was left with little choice but to close shop after a period of unsuccessful negotiation.
