The Sol Sets

Not sure if this means anything to anybody, but I was walking to 50th and Ninth in Manhattan with the express intent of dining at Costa del Sol, and Costa del Sol was closed—for good!

Costa del Sol wasn't a landmark or particularly old, but I liked it's shabby appearance and refusal to spruce up with the new "Clinton." Never ate there, so I can't vouch for the food, but it was owned by the same guys who run Spanish Taverna on 38th and 7th, and I've been there, and it's pretty good. So I'm guessing Costa del Sol was OK.
