In the age of Travelocity and Expedia.com, you don’t need a travel agent to get you where you want to go. What you need is someone to tell you what to do when you arrive. Our Personal Guest’s Pallavi Shah is the ticket. Shah—who has organized personal jaunts for everyone from movie stars to media titans—specializes in trips to far-flung locales like India, Southeast Asia, and Africa. But European cultural adventures are also a big part of her business. She’ll not only get you around in style, select menus, and arrange dates with, say, the local maharajah or a notable artist but also send you off with a custom-made book of maps, clippings, and shopping tips tailored to your tastes. During your trip, you can call her 24-7 for up-to-the-minute adjustments.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
