Dana Brown

A former Deputy Editor of Vanity Fair and then Air Mail columnist who wrote about food and restaurants.

Before getting into publishing, I worked in the back and front of the house at some of New York City’s seminal restaurants. Caper is where all of that experience finally converges.

Over the next month, as we head toward our official launch, you’ll begin seeing Caper in your inbox, offering a glimpse into who we are and what we’re about.
