A screening of “Florent: Queen of the Meat Market,” a documentary film by David Sigal was held on Thursday, June 24 in conjunction with the New York Food Film Festival. The film chronicles the history of the infamous New York City restaurant and its owner, Florent Morellet. Cocktail receptions were held before and after the film and featured selected items from the Florent menu.

Here’s video from the event:

The restaurant was the locale for POZ’s 10th anniversary cover in May 2004.
