aging celebs, sports legends and a group of deeply tanned babes cram into dan tana's red leather booths. charming and unpretentious despite its clientele, the tightly packed rooms swarm with high-pitched good cheer and the bustle of tuxedoed waiters. taking its cue from '50s-era red-sauce joints, the simple italian menu is loaded with garlic. entrees include italian classics like penne, spaghetti and gnocchi. for dessert, cheesecake is a perfect complement to the semi-permanent halo of garlic.
