What a gorgeous building! My in-laws honeymooned there for two weeks in 1941, right before he shipped off to WWII. He bid her farewell at the hotel, and asked that she not accompany him to the train station. Fortunately, he returned home safely. They spent 40+ years together!

Sincerely Eccentric i mean...... It is literally right next to the park. If people are staying there, as guests, it’s Bc they’re visiting and doing s bunch of stuff including going for walks and jogs in the park. If they live there in the 63 million dollar apartments, they’re gonna be casual sometimes. I understand what you’re saying. Whenever I’m in the general vicinity of the plaza, I’m usually more dressed up. But that’s because if I’m there it’s because I’m going to some event or a dinner or even just a movie at the Paris and I specifically like to always dress up.

I was curious as to why Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt wanted to stay at the Plaza, so I looked it up. His parents lived right across from the Plaza in the largest house ever built in New York. Even though his parents' home had 154 rooms, Alfred liked the idea that he could see his parents whenever he wanted, but he could also get away from them when he'd had enough of them.

My husband and I have a similar arrangement: love each other dearly but we're both fiercely independent and enjoy our alone time. We also keep wildly different schedules. I've got the big "together" apartment and he has a separate place nearby where his studio is. A twist is ours being an open marriage so it also keeps things from being awkward for our respective partners though everyone's on the same page about our situation.

Glorious! Such memories! In the summer of 1996 we walked into the Plaza lobby off Central Park pushing our just one year old daughter in a stroller. Such an overwhelming sense of history. She freaked out passersby because she hadn't any hair yet, but she was able to talk to people as we went by. In May of 1999 we toured Versailles with our now ~4yr old and 14 month children and saw the some of the architectural inspirations for the Plaza I believe some of the opening scenes from North by Northwest with Cary Grant take place in the Plaza Hotel and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade passes right by the Plaza entrance. Iconic indeed! Thanks for the history of the Plaza Hotel.

My 1st stay at the Plaza was in 1974. We had a beautiful and very large 1 br suite facing Grand Army Plaza. In the 1980s when I lived in NYC we used to go to the Plaza after the opera for hot chocolate and cake in the Palm Court. I also loved going to the Oyster Bar on the 58th St side for lunch. It was looking pretty sad by the late 1980s but looks wonderful now.

I seem to remember, however, that the Oak Room was open to Ladies for lunch well before Betty Friedan because I remember being in there once as a teen well before 1969. We also had lunch one time in the Persian Room. One of the things the Plaza did every year was to place a huge, beautifully crafted, chocolate Easter Egg in the lobby.

It was a wonderful time. 2 years ago I had a wonderful champagne and caviar treat for St Valentine's and again, it was very nice. Now ourdays, everything is so fast consuming and confused with rhe values etc, every once in a while, to experience this novelty is priceless.

Gorgeous and was hoping you'd show that painting of Eloise which I saw there in the late 1960s when I was a fashion illustrator in NYC. I used to hang out there a bit and had to meet a business associate there at one point for a freelance job! I love the Palm Court, fabulous ceiling! I remember Capote's Black and White Ball, that was a big event written up in Women's Wear Daily and other publications! I agree with what someone else said here, the Plaza is no place for scuffy jeans, dirty sneakers, backwards baseball hats and hard hats! Show some class! Dress elegantly when in an elegant place! Love Bergdorf Goodman's next door with it's beautiful view of gorgeous Central Park, thanks for sharing, much appreciated! Keep these coming, loved your great video on the public library as well, another place I used to go to when I lived in NYC many moons ago! Left my heart in beautiful Paris, Rome and NYC and also Boston , love beautiful cities and the first thing I do when I go to any city is study the architectural details!!! One of the first books I got my 3 daughters was the book "Eloise" and I call my cat "Weenie" sometimes like Eloise called her dog or was it her turtle? Love that classic children's book!

As a Jaguar XJS specialist and growing up in NY and spending a lot of time in the hotel, I remember several years ago reading that the last guest was an XJS owner and the building had been sold and was being converted to condos. I dined there many times, used the business center and would use the phones around the back near the 57th St. entrance to make business calls making appointments back in the late seventies. Back when the phone booths in Manhattan where the best with a fan that would come on when you closed the door.

Even in the 80's if you walked into the Plaza without a coat and tie, you were stopped at the door and politely sent downstairs to Trader Vic's bar...in the basement...but it was nice.

Thank you. Possibly the most famous Hotel in the World! Such history; such cultural significance! I delight in it! I do have to say that I long for the days when guests of such a fine hotel DRESSED in a manner to reflect their surroundings. I get it; people want to be modern and ‘comfortable’; BUT there is a difference between being ‘comfortable’ and looking like a slob. One CAN dress comfortably, and not look sloppy.

I think it’s a terrible shame that the plaza was turned into a residential building. It was such a wonderful living thing with thousands of employees. Now, the people who call it home don’t even spend much time there so the hotel feels very empty. I’ve stayed in the new hotel several times, even though I live a few blocks away, because I love the hotel so much. The Waldorf is also being turned into a residential building so that too will never be the same.
