About This Newsletter

FlorianNYC is a weekly newsletter for people who love eating in New York City.

Why This Exists

New York's dining scene moves fast. Too fast. Keeping up with openings, closings, and trends across five boroughs is a full-time job. Most food media covers everything, which means you have to sift through a lot of noise to find what matters to you.

This newsletter is different. Every Tuesday, we send you a curated digest of what's actually happening in NYC dining—new openings worth knowing about, closings that matter, and trends shaping where we eat.

What You Get

• New Openings: 2-3 restaurant openings with context on why they matter
• Closings & Changes: What's shutting down and what's taking its place
• Trending Now: What the food world is talking about this week
• Deep Dive: One restaurant spotlight with honest takes
• Events: Pop-ups, festivals, and dining experiences worth attending

The Name

Florian was a beloved restaurant in Gramercy Park that served the neighborhood for years. While the restaurant is gone, its spirit lives on through this newsletter—a love letter to NYC's ever-evolving dining scene.
