LOOKING FOR LISTS FROM OTHER YEARS?
Fifth Avenue at Central Park S.
Tel: 212-759-3000
What: Subdued, swanky refurb of the Plaza Hotel spot where Billie Holiday and John Coltrane once played.
The look: Violet lighting, Louis XV–style armchairs, tassled curtains, original wood fixtures—a grand, glam taste of vintage romance.
Who goes: Hair-flipping UES heiresses; round Midwestern tourists.
Sound track: Surprisingly bawdy, from Eminem to Iggy Pop.
What to wear: Bags must be Chanel or YSL; men are preppy in Paul Smith and shined shoes.
What to drink: Intricate custom bevvies; the minty Park Side Smash and apricot-infused Imperial Plaza go for more than $20 a pop.
Door policy: Easy—as long as you're dressed to impress.
