I have lived in NYC for 20 years at least, so call me a native New Yorker. Sadly, this neighborhood has become trendy with cigarette-wielding Eurotourists and overdressed women who wish to recreate scenes from “Sex and the City.” Real New York institutions such as Florent have been driven out by high rents and have been replaced by superficial, overpriced eateries. There are still charms to be had here. And if you can afford the price and can stand the crowds, you could impress some people by living in the “Meat Packing.”
