How to develop taste
According to Dan, taste is a matter of picking things that you like in an authentic way. When it comes to decor, pick pieces you truly love, and make sue they match under a general aesthetic.
Where to see Art in NYC
Dan recommends checking out the gallery scene in LES, Chelsea and Tribeca. They’ll have openings (Thursdays 6-8) and usually with free wine!
