"Flora Bar, owned by Ignacio Mattos, is remembered for its unique blend of uptown classics with downtown flair. Known for its pricey yet exquisite menu items, the restaurant was located at the bottom of the Met Breuer Museum. Highlights included the Tuxedo #2 cocktail, a highball flavored with plums and shiso, house croquettes stuffed with potatoes and raclette, Iberico ham, a famous caviar omelette, shrimp cocktail, and steak marinated in Vietnamese fish sauce." - Adam Platt
