Danielle was recommended by our food & drink editor, Erin: "I have this friend, Danielle. She’s just as likely to greet you with a huge smile as she is with some hilarious anecdote—she’s got a deadpan sense of humor that just comes out of nowhere. Danielle grew up in Hawaii, which is probably why she’s so incredibly laid back—except when the Eagles are playing (you should probably be a football fan if you want to date this babe). She’s extremely dedicated to her job but makes a point to have a social life, too, especially when it comes to going out for great food and cocktails. Good thing she knows all the best places to find both! She’s gorgeous, has phenomenal style (I want everything in her closet) and loves to travel—and you’d be one lucky dude to travel with her."
Here's Danielle, in her own words:
What LA stereotype do you live up to? I hate traffic, but I love talking about it.
What’s at the top of your LA bucket list? A friend of mine created an Instagram account last year where she hammocks in peculiar places (@hammockliving), and since then I’ve imagined myself kicking back in the O of the Hollywood Sign and becoming a viral sensation—my mom would be so proud.
What are three must-have items you’d stash in your earthquake kit (aside from the necessities)? Gin, dry vermouth, and Dirty Sue olive juice (here’s to hoping I find ice!).
FYF, Burning Man or the LA Phil? LA Phil on a summer evening is a gift truly unique to this city.
What’s the most underrated part about LA? Pizza. Although LA doesn’t have a specific style of pizza, we do offer an extensive variety of other styles, which keeps us all on our toes. You can tell a lot about a person (and a city) by their pizza type, so I always ask, “How was traffic? What type of pizza do you like?” And then I go from there. If you’re a deep dish, great. If you’re a Neapolitan, even better.
Dive bar, cocktail bar or juice bar? Juice bar in the morning; cocktail bar in the evening; dive bar before sunset and then again riiiiight before sunrise.
What fictional LA character would you most like to spend the day with? I’d like to go shopping for pearls and a woman’s suit with Lucille Bluth.
