Eloise At The Condo

WNYC reports that Eloise, the feisty 9-year-old resident of the Plaza Hotel immortalized in the Kay Thompson children’s book of that name, is back at the plaza. Her painting, that is.

Yesterday the painting was returned to its place of honor near the Palm Court in the lobby. The hotel has been undergoing a major renovation and reinvention as a high end condo building and boutique hotel.

The Palm Court, an ornate and historic lobby restaurant, has been preserved.
