NYC
THE FOOD SERIES
eating through every city that matters

Food. Travel.
Culture. Lived.

We document the world's most compelling food and travel experiences. Curated by two people who eat everything that looks interesting, then share every detail so you can do the same. Or travel with us.

The world is full of recommendations. See this, eat there, do not miss this. But no one asks how you want to feel. Knowhere starts there.

Nathan & Payton, Founders

Nathan Harris and Payton Ervin spend a lot of time traveling between cities for work, sitting in extraordinary rooms, and discovering that the best moments always happen around a table. They built Knowhere to document those moments and share them with people who want the same thing — real experiences in real cities, designed with the specificity of someone who has actually been there.

Every recommendation is earned at their own table. No free meals. No sponsored placements. No allegiance to any city, chef, or trend. The viewer is always the third person at the table.

How Do You Travel?

We build experiences for people who do meaningful work and travel as part of that life. Not tourists. Professionals who move between cities, boardrooms, and dinner tables.

Professionals & Nomads

You live between cities and work from wherever the WiFi holds. We build trips around your schedule, your pace, and the meals that make the layover worth it.

Couples

Nathan and Payton are the proof of concept. Two people, one city, three days of eating and exploring with no agenda beyond being present together.

Impact Leaders

Philanthropy meets travel. If you convene rooms that matter, attend summits, and want to build community while seeing the world, this is your lane.

Executive Retreats

From Four Seasons gatherings to Jeffersonian dinners with Hall of Famers, we design group experiences where the setting matches the caliber of the conversation.

Solo Explorers

Traveling alone does not mean eating alone. Our spot guides and itineraries are built for one person who wants the city to reveal itself on their terms.

the people behind Knowhere

Nathan Harris
& Payton Ervin

Nathan is a builder. As General Partner at Immersion Innovations, he convenes iconic leaders in sports, entertainment, and philanthropy to drive social impact at scale. His work has put him in rooms with Hall of Famers, Fortune-level executives, and cultural leaders from Google headquarters to Four Seasons retreats. Along the way, he discovered that the most extraordinary moments always happened around a table.

Food is in his blood. Nathan draws from deep hospitality roots on both sides of his family — the Harris legacy on his mother's side and the Sutton legacy on his father's. The kitchen table has always been where business got done and relationships got built. Knowhere is the natural extension of that.

Payton is Chief of Staff, the eye for detail, and the person who notices what Nathan doesn't. She manages the operations, the creative direction, and the rhythm of every trip. Together they are the lens through which Knowhere sees the world.

They document every city they travel to, every meal worth remembering, and every honest observation along the way. NYC is the first episode. The journey is just beginning.
