A Concierge at a Famous NYC Hotel Shares Insider Secrets - AFAR

"For Mark guests Central Park becomes an intimate setting thanks to a curated Jean-Georges picnic: I describe a seasonal menu chosen in advance, a plush blanket and low chairs set up by the concierge (often near the 76th Street entrance beneath an oak), and extras down to gourmet dog menus, board games, balloons, even a pickleball net; the experience can include the hotel’s signature black-and-orange bicycles (helmets, locks, water, and custom maps provided) and a playful finale of sailing remotely controlled boats at nearby Conservatory Water—picnic experiences start from $195." - John Wogan
