What does your New York concierge service include?

Executive transportation, close protection, hotels and residences, restaurant reservations and exclusive access, personal shopping and 24/7 coordination - delivered as one integrated programme through a single contact.

Do you serve international clients arriving from abroad?

Yes - the majority of our New York principals arrive from Europe, the Gulf, Asia and Brazil. The team coordinates in English, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian and Chinese, from FBO arrival to departure.

Do you cover New Jersey and Teterboro?

Yes - Teterboro FBO arrivals, the New Jersey estates and stadium events are run as part of the same programme, with vehicles staged on both sides of the Hudson and continuous protection across the crossings.

How far in advance should we book?

Plan on at least seven days. A protection assignment is not a booking. It is vetting, officer assignment and advance work, and that is what the week is for. Shorter notice is considered case by case, but anything under 48 hours carries additional fees and is never guaranteed. The earlier your dates arrive, the better the officer and the better the plan. During the U.N. General Assembly, fashion weeks and the holiday season, we recommend booking as early as possible.

How much does a luxury concierge cost in New York?

Two routes. Membership starts at EUR 95 per month for Client Access, which suits anyone in New York regularly or wanting the relationship in place before they need it. A single engagement is quoted against the brief instead. In both cases third-party costs, tables, tickets, cars and residences, are passed through at cost with our fee shown separately. In New York that distinction decides whether you are being steered toward the room that pays a commission or the room that is actually good.

Can you get a table at any restaurant in New York?

No, and the limits are worth knowing because they differ by room. Some release exactly a month ahead to the second, some run genuine lotteries nobody can influence, some hold a bar section for walk-ins, and a large number of tables free up the same afternoon through cancellations that never reach the public page. Treating them all the same is why people conclude a restaurant is impossible when it is not. We work the routes that exist and are straight about the handful where the answer is luck.

Can you arrange Broadway, courtside or the US Open?

Yes, and in New York judgement matters more than availability, because almost everything is purchasable if you are willing to overpay. Broadway premium seats, courtside at the Garden or Barclays, the US Open through the second week and the suite market around all of them each have their own economics, and the gap between a fair price and a bad one is wide and invisible from outside. We buy through legitimate channels and tell you what a seat is genuinely worth in the week you are asking.

Which airport should we use, and do you handle Teterboro?

Yes. Teterboro is the default for private movements into Manhattan and the drive in is short when the tunnels behave and long when they do not. Westchester and Morristown are sensible alternatives depending on where you are actually staying, and for the Hamptons in season the helicopter or seaplane is a different calculation. On the commercial side JFK, Newark and LaGuardia each have their own arrival realities and are not interchangeable. We plan departures against real traffic rather than a published drive time.

Which weeks reprice New York?

Four in particular. The UN General Assembly week closes large parts of Midtown east and consumes hotel and car supply. The Met Gala period tightens everything around the Upper East Side. The US Open runs two weeks and moves the whole city calendar. Thanksgiving through the New Year is the longest and most expensive stretch, with restaurant and hotel minimums appearing. We plan the movement as carefully as the bookings in those weeks, because that is where they actually go wrong.

Do you arrange residences, hotels and the Hamptons?

Yes. For hotels we book the specific room rather than the category, which in Manhattan is the difference between a park view and an airshaft. For apartments and townhouses we work with agents we have used and check the building and the access arrangements rather than the photographs. The Hamptons in season is its own market with its own timing, and the sensible bookings are made in late winter rather than in June, which is when most people start asking.

Do you provide security in New York?

It is a separate licensed service, priced separately, and for most New York visitors the honest answer is that a security-trained driver covers the real exposure. Where a profile genuinely warrants an officer we arrange it through licensed providers and explain why; where it does not, we say that rather than sell a detail nobody needs. Discretion is usually more valuable here than presence, and a visible detail in Manhattan draws exactly the attention most clients came to avoid.

Do you work outside Manhattan?

Yes, and usually within the same file. Brooklyn is routine, the Hamptons and Greenwich are the standard extensions, and the Hudson Valley, Aspen and Miami are common onward legs. New Jersey matters more than visitors expect because of Teterboro and Newark. One named contact stays with the programme rather than handing you to a regional office when you cross a bridge.

Is everything confidential?

Yes, by NDA from the first message, including the fact that you are in the city. Suppliers are told only what they need for their part, never the whole itinerary. For clients whose movements are of interest to anyone, that compartmentalisation is the service rather than a policy line, and in a city with this density of press and social media it is the main practical reason people use a concierge instead of booking directly.

What happens if something falls through on the night?

Someone answers and rebuilds it, which is the actual product. Restaurants lose bookings, weather closes a rooftop, a show cancels and traffic ignores every estimate. You have one named contact who knows the file and has the supplier relationships to reconstruct the evening at short notice, rather than a queue and a case number. In New York that capability is worth more than any list of venues.

Q: Can you provide bodyguards in New York City?

Yes. Discreet close protection is delivered by licensed New York partners with former U.S. law-enforcement, federal and military backgrounds, matched to a real threat assessment. Armed details require lead time for authorisation.

Q: Do you arrange chauffeurs and executive transportation in New York?

Yes, and New York is the one major city where the car is sometimes the wrong answer. Midtown at five in the afternoon is slower than walking, congestion pricing applies below 60th Street, and a vehicle waiting outside a restaurant on a narrow downtown block is a problem rather than a convenience. We arrange saloons, Suburbans and Sprinters with vetted licensed drivers briefed on the actual entrances, and we will tell you when the subway or a ten-minute walk beats the car, which no company paid by the hour volunteers.

Straight Answers

Hiring a concierge in New York: the questions people ask first.

What it is

What a concierge in New York does

Gets the table, the seats, the car and the terminal, and rebuilds the evening when one of them falls through. New York is a city where almost everything is theoretically bookable, so the value is knowing which door is actually open tonight.

Cost

What a concierge in New York costs

Membership from EUR 95 per month for Client Access, or a single engagement quoted against the brief. Tables, tickets, cars and residences are passed through at cost with our fee shown separately, so you can see which part is ours and which is the supplier.

Lead time

How much notice we need

At least seven days for an ordinary week. The calendar is the constraint: the UN General Assembly week, the Met Gala period, the US Open, Thanksgiving and the December weeks reprice the whole city and consume hotel and car supply.

Access

Can you get a table anywhere in New York?

No, and the honest limits matter. A handful of rooms run genuine lotteries or release a month out to the minute, and no concierge overrides that. Most things are achievable with a week, and a good deal is achievable same-day through returns. We tell you which of the three you are dealing with.

Coverage

Where we cover

Midtown and Fifth Avenue, the Upper East and West Sides, Tribeca, SoHo and the West Village, Brooklyn, JFK, Newark and Teterboro, plus the Hamptons, Greenwich and the Hudson Valley.

Security

Is protection included?

No, it is a separate licensed service and priced separately. For most New York visitors a security-trained driver covers the real exposure. Close protection in New York.

Manhattan — The Places That Matter

From Wall Street to the Metropolitan Museum, Manhattan concentrates more of consequence per square mile than anywhere on earth. The Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve downtown; Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building and the great banks of Park Avenue in Midtown; the Met, the Frick and Museum Mile uptown; Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and Broadway for the evening.

We plan each day around geography and timing - which venues cluster, when the museums open privately, which entrance a principal should use - so the city gives its best and asks nothing in return.

02 —

Central Park & the Residential Gold Coast

Eight hundred and forty acres of calm in the centre of the city - and the most valuable address book in America around it. Fifth Avenue and Central Park West co-ops, the townhouses of the Upper East Side, private school and club territory, morning security-escorted runs on the Reservoir and quiet family afternoons at the Boathouse or the Zoo.

For families relocating or wintering in New York, we coordinate residences, staff, schools-area logistics and low-profile protection that fits a neighbourhood where discretion is the local currency.

03 —

Navigating New York — Business & Leisure

Manhattan traffic is a discipline of its own. For business, we sequence the day the way locals never can: motorcade timing between downtown and Midtown, building security pre-cleared before arrival, a second vehicle staged when meetings overrun, and helicopter lifts when the schedule crosses boroughs. For leisure, the same machine runs softer - Broadway at eight, dinner uptown at eleven, the bridge lit on the way home.

Times Square, the High Line and the observatories are handled the intelligent way: private timings, side entrances and no waiting in line, ever.

Shopping — Fifth Avenue to SoHo

The most complete luxury retail landscape in the western hemisphere. Bergdorf Goodman and the Fifth Avenue flagships, the maisons of Madison Avenue, the ateliers of SoHo and the private showrooms that never advertise. We arrange personal shoppers, private appointments before and after hours, multilingual sales directors, secure transport for high-value purchases and discreet delivery or export handling to the residence or the aircraft.

During fashion weeks and the holiday season, access is arranged in advance - the city’s best doors open by appointment.

05 —

Close Protection in New York

New York is safe for those who move intelligently - and unforgiving of routine. Our close-protection details are drawn from former U.S. law-enforcement, federal and military backgrounds, deployed through licensed New York partners and matched to a real threat assessment. High-profile escort for public appearances, or protection nobody in the room ever notices; residence watch, event advance work, school-run security and secure movement between the city, the Hamptons and New Jersey.

For principals accustomed to protection at home in the Gulf, Europe or Brazil, the standard travels with you - same discipline, New York licence.

New Jersey — The Other Side of the Hudson

Half of a New York programme happens across the river. Teterboro, the premier private-jet gateway to Manhattan; MetLife Stadium for the big fixtures; the estates of Alpine and Short Hills; and the corporate campuses of the Jersey waterfront. We run the Hudson crossings as one seamless system - vehicles staged on both sides, timing built around the tunnels and bridges, protection continuous from wheels-down in New Jersey to the door in Manhattan.

Executive transportation and chauffeurs

New York is the one major city where a car is sometimes the wrong answer, and knowing when is part of the job. Midtown at five in the afternoon is slower than walking, congestion pricing now applies below 60th Street, and a vehicle waiting outside a restaurant on a narrow downtown block is a problem rather than a convenience. Getting this right saves more time than any other single arrangement here.

We arrange chauffeured saloons, Suburbans and Sprinters for families and groups, with vetted, insured, correctly licensed drivers briefed on the actual entrances and where they may legitimately wait. We also tell you when the subway or a short walk beats the car, which no company paid by the hour will volunteer. For airport runs the vehicle is matched to the terminal and the hour rather than to the booking. See executive transportation in New York.

08 —

Restaurants, reservations and the rooms that matter

New York reservations run on a set of systems that reward knowing how each one behaves. Some rooms release exactly a month ahead to the second, some run genuine lotteries, some hold a bar section for walk-ins, and a large number of tables become available the same afternoon through cancellations that never reach the public page. Treating all of them the same is why people conclude a restaurant is impossible when it is not.

We work the routes that actually exist, book for where you sit rather than for the name, and are straight about the handful of rooms where the honest answer is a lottery nobody can influence. Where a place has been coasting on a reputation for two years, we will say so rather than spend your evening on it.

09 —

Broadway, courtside and the sporting calendar

New York sells access to almost everything, which makes judgement rather than availability the scarce thing. Broadway premium seats and the sold-out transfers, courtside at the Garden or Barclays, the US Open through the second week, and the box and suite market around all of them each have their own economics, and the gap between a fair price and a bad one is wide and not obvious from outside.

We buy through legitimate channels, tell you what a given seat is genuinely worth in the week you are asking, and steer you off the packages that are poor value. For the calendar weeks that reprice the city, the UN General Assembly, the Met Gala period, Thanksgiving and December, we plan the movement as carefully as the tickets, because that is where those weeks actually go wrong.

Teterboro, JFK and private aviation

Teterboro is the default for private movements into Manhattan and the drive in is short when the tunnels behave and long when they do not. Westchester and Morristown are the sensible alternatives depending on where you are actually going, and for the Hamptons in season the helicopter or seaplane is a different calculation entirely. On the commercial side, JFK, Newark and LaGuardia each have their own arrival realities and none of them is interchangeable.

We arrange private aviation, FBO handling, fast-track where it exists, and the handover to the car so the arrival is continuous. For departures we plan against the actual traffic rather than a published drive time, which is the half people forget until they are sitting in the Lincoln Tunnel with a slot time approaching.

What people actually search for

Concierge, lifestyle management or booking agency in New York?

The terms describe different businesses. A booking agency is paid by the venue, so the recommendation is not disinterested even when the service is good. Lifestyle management is an ongoing relationship rather than a trip: the apartment, the cars, the staff and the calendar across a year. A luxury concierge works for the client, with third-party costs passed through and the fee shown separately. In New York specifically that distinction decides whether you are steered toward the room that pays or the room that is good.

People search all of it: luxury concierge New York, VIP concierge NYC, lifestyle management, restaurant reservations, Broadway premium seats, courtside, US Open hospitality, chauffeur, private jet Teterboro, personal shopper Fifth Avenue, Hamptons rental, luxury hotel Manhattan. They are parts of one job.

For most visitors the core is three things: the right room, transport judged honestly against walking and the subway, and someone who can rebuild an evening at short notice. Everything else earns its place. What a luxury concierge costs, our membership tiers, or close protection in New York.
