A heartfelt welcome to all the nominees, friends and professional partners to the

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.)
