The townhouse table
A room held back for the evening, a menu written that afternoon, a wine list that answers to the meal.

The market at five
The city as the people who feed it see it — hours before anyone else is awake.
Behind the city
Wholesale halls, a fish floor, a bakery mid-bake, a roastery at first light. Then breakfast somewhere that has been open since four, with the chef who took you round.
It is early, it is cold, and it is the single morning most clients talk about afterwards.
Why New York
The city's appetite is assembled overnight — fish, flowers, bread, print — and by nine the evidence is gone. Few cities still do all of it inside their own boundary.
Why KNOWN
Working floors do not receive visitors. They receive people they know. We ask on your client's behalf and we go with them, because a stranger on that floor at five is a problem for whoever is working.
What it can include
- 01Pre-dawn access to working markets and production floors
- 02A chef or buyer as your guide
- 03Breakfast at a trade counter afterwards
- 04Warm car standing by throughout
Illustrative, not a package. Every element is confirmed against the date, the party and what the partner can honour.
Good to know
- Starts between 4.30am and 5.30am depending on the floor.
- Closed footwear required; some floors are wet and cold.
- Best Tuesday to Friday — weekends run a reduced operation.
