Please call the office for additional details at (212) 370-1319 and ask for Rachel Graper or e-mail rachelgraper@dnykg.com.
Can you create a four day package for our theater group if we don’t have a budget?
Using a realistic budget will help us create a great program that you can use. Imagine hearing about a fabulous new restaurant or wonderful hotel. You can’t wait for your attendees to experience it. Then, you find out that your selection is totally out of your budget. You have a choice, either raise the budget or choose a different restaurant or hotel. A hotel in NY that might cost $200 in the summer might double or more in price around the holidays, thus cutting into your total budget and not allowing room for the fun experiences that your attendees wish to do when they are here. When you know your budget is realistic, call us to create the WOW experience.
Can you help us with a private yacht for our family to experience New York’s Harbor for a lunch or dinner cruise?
Let us know your budget, how many people will be in your party, and whether they wish a 3-hour, 4-hour or all day experience. Since you will have the exclusive use of the yacht, why not invite your entire family to join you for the day’s outing? Or, if it is a corporate group, please let us know whether you prefer a formal sit down dinner or a more casual buffet. Either yacht option can be paired with a private look at the history of Battery Park so that attendees can learn how New York grew from a small Dutch trading village to a world class port. Then, view the city from the yacht from a very different perspective.
We’ll include transfers from your private apartment, hotel or corporate office to the yacht and return.
What is the best way to use your services?
A destination management company’s role is to provide expertise about their location and help to facilitate experiences for their clients when they are in that location. Our specialty is New York City. Therefore, whether you have a corporate board of directors meeting in NY or the spouse of one of the executives and their children, providing access to people, places and experiences that are not open to the general public provides the memories that will last forever.
Think of us as your personal assistants. We are happy to be included in a conference call with the person(s) coming to NY to help you, and then, create an hour by hour itinerary and maximize their time here.
If we have created the itinerary, the client receives a welcome package at their hotel, apartment, or private club. The package includes a note on your behalf welcoming them to NY and explaining that we are your personal assistant here on the ground. A copy of IN New York Magazine, a map, their complete hour by hour itinerary with cell phone numbers, addresses and dress codes, plus their theater tickets and vouchers depending upon the services that they have provided.
All clients receive a personal telephone call from us to welcome them into New York and see if they wish any additional services.
We are here to help them once they arrive with any questions that they might have and secure additional limousines, theater tickets or private experiences that might not have been on their original itinerary. You will be notified of all additional services that have been requested.
You send them, and we receive them on your behalf! One stop shopping to save you time, and provide accurate up to the minute information because we live and work here and know New York!
Can you provide competitively priced transfers and limousine services?
Our limousine services are competitive with any of the top hotels in New York City. Our transfers from all airports to New York City include a representative to meet you in the baggage area, help you with your luggage and then radio to bring the vehicle to the curb as close as the police will allow for that day. You are on your way to your destination rather than dragging luggage through the parking lot with the driver. If you compare our prices with any of the top limousine services, please make sure that you ask the service to include the transfer, toll, surcharge, rep at the airport and the gratuity. Take that total and check the pricing on our web site and you will find that our prices are competitive. In addition, we are tracking all additional services that might be requested after arrival assuring that you have an accurate account of the total amount billed.
