Gonzalez y Gonzalez

Gonzalez y Gonzalez (GyG) is a Mexican restaurant and Salsa dance club in Greenwich Village with DJs and live Salsa bands for dancing on weekends.

There may be Cumbia, Merengue and Bachata too. There are great local bands and some famous sidemen from the Golden Age of 1970s New York Salsa.

GyG is a reliable place for a fun night out. The music is Latin, but everybody goes. It’s popular with the NYU (New York University) crowd. The Mexican food and margaritas are pretty good.

By the way, these are some of NYC’s busiest Salsa bands.
