>> crazy. what's crazy? if you have access to a concierge and you have a budget, nothing is crazy.

>> reporter: but when nothing is crazy, things can get a little insane. like one guest's request for a bath of melted chocolate.

>> so i want to please you so bay tt i'll stop at nothing.

>> reporter: here in times square --

>> we're in the driver's seat now, right?

>> reporter: michael and his team can take you to the a-list party spots.

>> the most unusual request i made, i was in washington for a black tie one night. i don't tie bow ties very well. i never learned. and i'm frustrated, i'm late, and i call the concierge, can you please send someone up to tie my tie. so they send a wart up. a waiter up. and i'm handing him 20s hoping to keep his mouth shut.
