When Rob Mango moved into a loft on Duane Street in 1977, his neighbors were Richard Serra and dairy-and-egg wholesalers with warehouse floors coated in yolks and grime. But in a little over a decade, Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese, and Harvey Keitel had arrived. So did the paparazzi swarming to get a shot of JFK Jr., biking around in a suit and Kangol or coming in and out of 20 North Moore.
