De Santos
New York
PERMANENTLY CLOSED
Helmed by Alex Gonzalez, drummer for Maná (a.k.a., "Latin America's U2"), and occupying an address that oozes history (Diana Ross's first venue, Serpico's contact point, Janis Joplin's home...), Santos is a breezy, bi-level resto in a townhouse complex that also includes upstairs apartments for the manager & chef, plus a crash-pad "for, like, anybody".
