Profile

Stephen Hanson's downtown precursor to Atlantic Grill (Upper East Side) and Ocean Grill (Upper West Side) is far more of a scene than either of its siblings.

At the bar, it's cruising and hooking-up galore. Hanson also operates Ruby Foo's, Blue Fin, Dos Caminos and Isabella's. — Steven A. Shaw
