Jan. 6, 2011 Staff Report
Floresta, the highly-rated Argentine steak house located at 41-08 Greenpoint Ave., is scheduled to close. On its website, it read: “we have poured every ounce of our passion into Floresta but unfortunately passion does not pay the rent.”
The restaurant also sent out an e-mail to its customers late last night notifying them of its decision.
The restaurant, viewed favorably by its customers on YELP , did not specify when it would close its doors.
Here is a copy of the e-mail:
Florestians,
As the holiday season comes to an end so does our time at Floresta. During our short time in operation, we have been fortunate to have shared memorable celebrations, and milestones with our guests, friends and family.
Here’s your last chance to stop by and taste what everyone has been talking about! Beginning January 15, we will be operating exclusively on the weekends presenting special themed Prix-Fixe meals. Our team will be preparing a unique culinary experience showcasing cuisines from France, North America and Italy. February will kick off with a Super Bowl Party followed by our renowned Tango Night. There is something for every carnivore during our Meat Feast 2011. For a complete listing of events, featured menus and NEW hours visit our website FlorestaNY.com.
Be sure to stop by and bid Floresta a grand farewell. Thank you all for the support and hope to count on you for our next endeavors. It has certainly been a pleasure serving you all.
Yours in food,
Chef Alejandro “Blu” Cantagallo
