Tyler Florence's ambitious restaurant project in Union Square has been short-lived, closing after only a year. Despite a grant from the city's Office of Economic and Workforce Development, his cafes opened with great fanfare but ultimately struggled. The rotisserie chicken cafe shut down after renovations and never reopened, while the patisserie faced visibility challenges. In a swift move, the city replaced Florence's cafes with chef Belinda Leong's b. patisserie, aiming for a more stable and longer-term culinary presence in the revitalized area.

City officials expressed optimism in transitioning the cafe spaces to chef Belinda Leong's b. patisserie, eyeing a longer-term collaboration to replace the struggling pop-ups.
