Find out more about Danielle:

Danielle Schneider has had a passion for NY history since she realized that the best stories -- & mostly everybody -- started here. Billy the Kid was born here (didja know that?), and the pirate Captain Kidd lived here in a mansion on Wall Street (how prophetic). There are also NY stories of calamity & hard times, but they're pretty riveting…sure to lift you out of the everyday humdrum, the cultural claustrophobia of Now. E-mail: taikoninja@gmail.com.
