The trouble is, is that often people seem to always focus on how good it once was “back then” while chastising the present set up. I see nothing wrong with constructive change- I see it as evolving with the times . <br /><br />I would understand the commotion if all of a sudden service and accommodations worsened. But that is not the case. The exterior and interior is just as beautiful and the service, was, and still is phenomenal. <br /><br />It’s great that the Plaza is now part-hotel-part-condo. The fact that the Plaza is so steadfast yet accommodating by modern times standards , shows its true versatility and commitment & sensitivity to its surroundings, tradition & community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-35919167638952882502009-04-15T16:26:00.000-04:002009-04-15T16:26:00.000-04:00The Plaza always reminds me of "Barefoot in the Pa...The Plaza always reminds me of "Barefoot in the Park" and "North by Northwest" great films and it was a great hotel.<br /><A HREF="http://www.yorkshiredailyphoto.com.com/" REL="nofollow">Leeds Photo Daily</A>Leeds daily photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240127660481382397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-78266090508248689402009-04-06T13:33:00.000-04:002009-04-06T13:33:00.000-04:00Wasn't the Oyster Bar located in the lower level? ...Wasn't the Oyster Bar located in the lower level? I seem to remember going there several times, but my memory is fuzzy as to which hotel it was in! This is a great shot, and I understand you are torn. But I think we see enough of the dreary in the news - to the point that the media tends to almost glorify the negative. Time to look for a little light any place we can find it.Profile Not Availablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759219075260619910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-61548988819666134672009-04-06T07:43:00.000-04:002009-04-06T07:43:00.000-04:00Great photo.

We did have lunch there and visit out of town guests who were staying in on of the more modest room when I was a little girl in the city. I loved he lobby and the little amenities like writing desks for guests in kind of set off spaces. In those days, even the poor had some kind of housing so public spaces weren't on the defensive and you could simply go in right off the street for just to rest a while in that lobby if you wanted to and no one would ask you to leave. I also loved the Eloise books, which were kind of contemporanous with...well, with me. Even though I haven't set foot in the place for some forty years at least, I mourned when the Trumps bought it.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044265862232128796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-24416350810569288282009-04-05T20:36:00.000-04:002009-04-05T20:36:00.000-04:00What a lovely photograph.What a lovely photograph.Donna j.
