21 May The Hollywood Reporter Profiles Dan Abrams

On May 21st, Tony Maglio from The Hollywood Reporter published an in-depth interview with Dan Abrams. One day, at Dan’s office, Maglio and Abrams sat down to talk about the busy schedule and lifestyle of an entrepreneur like Abrams.

“[Abrams]… has a résumé that prints out like a CVS receipt. He’s the CEO of content studio Law&Crime, which recently acquired Court TV, where Abrams got his start. He’s chief legal analyst at ABC News, founder and CEO of website Mediaite, host of SiriusXM radio series The Dan Abrams Show (SiriusXM POTUS) and host and exec producer of the cable series Court Cam (A&E) and On Patrol: Live (Reelz),” writes Maglio. 

The Hollywood Reporter went on to list even more of Abrams’ achievements: “The father of two is a vineyard owner (Ev&Em, named after his kids), a restaurateur (Danny’s American Wine Bistro in the Flatiron District) and the purveyor of his Rotten Tomatoes-for-booze company The Daily Pour.”

Sure The Daily Pour is much more than that but hey, no article is perfect! The article points out that Dan has written six books, four of which were New York Times best sellers, and disclosed that Dan is working on one very different one, titled Scars, Sanity and a Six-Pack at 60. 

Abrams “tries not to drink ‘at least’ three nights a week”, he told The Hollywood Reporter. On Fridays and Saturdays, you can find Abrams sipping either wine or whiskey after wrapping up his show On Patrol: Live on REELZ. 

“‘We started bringing in drinks because, you know, we’re there till midnight, right? No one has a social life on weekends if you’re doing the show Friday and Saturday nights… So, every Friday night, I would bring in some wine, other people brought in some whiskey. I started trying whiskey, and it does have the layers of flavor that wines have.’” Abrams revealed. 

Abrams’ love of wine is also reflected in the all-American wine list at his buzzy new restaurant Danny’s, located in the Flatiron district. It also happens to be one of the hardest reservations to get in the city right now.  

“‘We had the fried chicken, which was excellent. We had a burger,’” GMA host George Stephanopoulos told Maglio. “‘It was awesome. We just split a bunch of stuff.’”

Danny’s is opening for brunch this weekend, featuring food and drinks you won’t want to miss. Make a reservation here (while you still can!)
