As a writer, a trained actor, and a lover of music, Daniel is always on the look out for the latest cultural happenings in the city.
Navigator Biography
A native Texan (Austin!), Daniel has always marched to the beat of his own drum. He has lived in NYC , his chosen home, for 14 years. “There is nothing like the energy of New York. Its palpable!” Always curious and adept at finding the next best thing, Daniel has always had a passion for the offbeat. From finding the best red bean buns in Chinatown (Lung Moon Bakery) to the quirkiest downtown speakeasy (Cienfuegos) he is happiest when on the hunt for that one spot that maybe has been overlooked by everyone else. "New York is for discoverers. I don’t know if I can uncover all New York's hidden gems, but it's fun trying. There’s nothing like finding a unique spot and feeling as if no one else knows about it.” The Fashion Walk of Fame , FIT Museum, and dozens of clothing workshops for the worlds most renowned designers make the garment district of Manhattan a must see! Daniel is thrilled to be a part of this thriving area and relishes sharing his favorite places with coworkers and guests. When not on the clock , Daniel enjoys going to see live music and attending whatever eclectic film festival the city has to offer.
My passion is for the offbeat and finding the next great thing in the neighborhood.
