Tales from the concierge desk
A concierge desk is a listening post for everything a city can offer and everything guests can imagine asking for. Boston's concierges have talked their way into sold-out games at Fenway, produced anniversary dinners on borrowed rooftops, and rerouted honeymoons around nor'easters. This category records those stories, and with them, the craft: the relationships, the favours economy, the difference between a concierge who books and one who conjures.
These are first-person accounts gathered through interviews. Beyond the anecdotes, they double as a user's manual, what to ask for, how early, and which requests are easier than guests assume.
