Dining in New York: the impossible reservations
In New York, the most coveted table opens for those who know how to ask.
New York
New York moves to the rhythm of its restaurants, and the most desired are full the minute booking opens. From Manhattan to Brooklyn, TGZ Conciergerie secures the tables said to be impossible, arranges private dinners and composes the New York evening that follows.
The experience
Dining & Gastronomy
Dinner with the skyline
A table with a view, a privatised room or a chef at home over Central Park: the experience is composed bespoke, service and wines included.
The city that never sleeps
Confidential hotel bars, private clubs, rooftops: after dinner we open the city and coordinate the car between each address.

The impossible tables
Éric Ripert's Le Bernardin and Thomas Keller's Per Se hold three stars; Eleven Madison Park reinvents plant-based haute cuisine; Masa serves the city's most sought-after sushi. And then there are the legends of access: Rao's in East Harlem, where tables are almost passed down by inheritance, or Carbone in the Village, full within the second.
Through our direct relationships with the houses, we secure these tables — at the right slot, the right table — with your preferences passed on beforehand, including where public booking is listed as full.
Private dinners and a chef at home
A privatised room, a dinner with a skyline view, or a chef cooking in your suite over Central Park: we build the experience bespoke, service and wines included.
A tasting menu, the private room of a great house, a brigade dispatched for a business dinner or a celebration: everything is composed à la carte, in complete discretion.
The neighbourhood scene
From Midtown to the Flatiron, from Greenwich Village to Tribeca and Brooklyn, each neighbourhood has its institutions and its openings of the moment. We steer you to the right table — a legendary steakhouse, a speakeasy Italian, an omakase counter — and secure the reservation.
The New York night
After dinner, confidential hotel bars, private clubs and rooftops: we open the city that never sleeps and coordinate the chauffeured car between each address, down to the last drink.
