For those people whose ancestors may have celebrated some occasion at the Plaza, you may only have until April 30 to visit this renowned hotel to see it as your ancestors may have experienced it when they were there ... because according to the New York TIMES ... The Plaza Hotel, located across from Central Park, where the fictional character Eloise romped through the corridors inside, the fiction writer F. Scott Fitzgerald romped in the fountain outside and, more recently, where Home Alone II took place, sent the union representing its workers a letter this week making official the timetable for the hotel's closing. No one will romp at the Plaza after April 30. The real estate company that owns the Plaza says it will become a construction site on its way to becoming condominiums and stores with a far smaller hotel on the 58th Street side. The hotel has called all guests who had reservations for later than April 30 to let them know they cannot stay there, said Miki Naftali, the president and chief executive of Elad Properties, the Plaza's owner. The letter to the union, the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council, which has organized a "Save the Plaza" campaign, said that 864 workers would lose their jobs "on or about April 30." The union wants the Landmarks Preservation Commission to designate the interior of the Plaza a landmark. The exterior has had such a designation for more than 30 years. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan
