Done & Dunne has spent some time at Beverly Hills mainstay The Daisy, the exclusive club that Nick and Lenny were members of, and where Frank Sinatra once paid the maitre d’ to punch Dominick in the face. Years later, Nicole Brown Simpson was a hostess at The Daisy when she, very consequentially, met OJ Simpson. But before The Daisy, another legendary establishment occupied the same address.
