“Best $8 Bucks I’ve Ever Spent!” La Esquina Salsa Direct From The Hands Of Dana Giacchetto

[Dana G, left, has traded dinners with Leonardo for salsa themed snacking].Dana Giacchetto was a smooth talking character of the 90’s who schmoozed his way around, somehow convincing everyone from Leonardo diCaprio to Ben Affleck to give him their money to manage at his fund, the Cassandra Group. He  used said money to pay for a lavish lifestyle of dinners at Balthazar and a lot of really happening parties in his ginormous loft in Soho filled with expensive art and over priced champagne. It was the “best $2k he ever spent” (and then some) every night of the week. Well, the gig ran it’s course, he lost his investors millions of dollars, and he went to prison for fraud for almost 5 years. He is now apparently selling salsa at the Met foods on Mulberry street.  Yes. Salsa. MORE>
