Profile

As he opens, closes, and relocates his various Clinton holdings, restaurateur John Dempsey continues to treat Ninth Avenue like his own personal Monopoly board. Having moved Vynl to spiffy new premises three blocks south, he opens El Centro this week in its place. An offshoot of Dempsey’s popular Hell’s Kitchen, and overseen by its chef, Jorge Pareja, El Centro is dedicated to the increasingly trendy realm of Mexican street foods. Taco fans have their choice of hard- or soft-shelled varieties—plus a selection of posoles, enchiladas, chilaquiles, tamales, and empanadas. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
