The Shutter: Frederick's Downtown Says Farewell

West Village: Multiple tipsters report and a call to the midtown branch confirms that cash strapped Frederick's Downtown, nightclub man Frederick Lesort's sceney MePa/West Village French brasserie, closed on Friday. It was known more for its choice sidewalk seating and Meatpacking scene than its pricey French fare, but according to some readers—and one assumes, all of the workers there—it will be missed. Careful observers will recall it was actually the midtown branch that filed for bankruptcy back in April after owing a combined $400k to the landlord and the city. However, Frederick's on Madison currently has no plans to shutter.
