A heartfelt welcome to all the nominees, friends and professional partners to the
Fourth Annual Concierge Choice Awards. As the president of the New York City
Association of Hotel Concierges, which represents so many individuals dedicated
to excellence in service, I know that we are motivated by a genuine desire to serve
and are committed to providing the best possible service to our visitors throughout
their stay. You, the nominees, have been chosen by our Concierge community as
the best of the best. Thank you for your dedication in creating and making our guest

Congratulations to the New York City Association of Hotel Concierges on
sponsoring the fourth annual Concierge Choice Awards. This unique event
brings together hospitality industry professionals with the concierge
community to recognize the many people who achieve excellence in guest
experiences.
As the publishers of City Guide and Promenade magazines, we are honored
and proud to be able to host the dinner and prepare this journal. Since
it contains the nominees and winners of the Concierge Choice Awards,
this book is a great resource for concierges to use as a reference.
The directory in the back provides hospitality industry contact infor-
mation to make booking easier. And this year there is a new website,
www.conciergechoiceawards.com, which lists the nominees, winners and
photos from past and present awards ceremonies.
We want to thank NYCAHC for creating this recognition program and we
are also pleased that this event supports Les Clefs d’Or Foundation and
the NYCAHC Charitable Fund.
Congratulations to the 2010 nominees and winners.
All my best,
David L. Miller

More than a mere coffee shop—more of an ice cream par-
lor on steroids—Serendipity is synonymous with fun. Since
1954, its menu of outrageous desserts—including their
signature frozen hot chocolate—and fun food, served in a
Manhattan townhouse amid exuberant Victorian decora-
tions, has charmed children and their parents, not to men-
tion celebrities from Andy Warhol to Beyoncé.

2009 Concierge Choice Award Winner. A mainstay for
Theatre District Italian food since opening in 2004, La
Masseria was honored by Esquire as one of “America’s
Best New Restaurants.” Since then they have
cultivated quite a captive audience and reservations can
be a little bit tricky but they hold certain tables until mid-
afternoon for concierge reservations. So, if a guest is
craving a pre-theatre Italian feast, this is the place! (Just
be sure to call ahead.)
