Snap Judgment: Florent 'Depression' soirée

Jesse, 52

When did you eat here first?
1987, the second time I visited NYC.

Was it seedy back then?
Oh yeah, at 8 or 9 p.m. there’d be hookers all over just doing their thing. It was rather threatening, but it gave a certain kind of attitude that you no longer see in NYC.

Do you hang out at any other spots in the nabe?
Not anymore. There used to be a party here on Tuesday nights—Motherfucker I think was the name of it. Do they still have that?
