A visual celebration of a cultural icon! From the day it opened its doors in 1907, the lavish nineteen story French Renaissance building on the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South was simply the grandest hotel in the world. The Plaza's lavish interiors and exteriors have remained sought-after settings for films, TV, shows, and important social events--from Barbra Streisand to The Beatles, anyone who is anyone has stayed there, partied there, and who-knows-what-else there. In the second edition of Starring the Plaza, a labor of love conceived and created by pop-cultural historian Patty Farmer, the hotel shines in a new light. Page after page of moments captured from parties and premieres form a new kind of chronicle of the New York iconic landmark. Featured in quintessential film moments such as the Oak Bar in Hitchcock's North By Northwest, the Persian Room in Sabrina, and even the grand lobby from Home Alone 2, the Plaza truly offers a stunning atmosphere and allure that is unrivaled. Starring the Plaza is the first ever visual celebration of the Plaza on stage, screen, and in society, and author Patty Farmer has scoured the archives to show it off in all its glory.
"In this beautiful book, Lady Patricia Farmer--whose mother introduced her to the ritual of afternoon tea at the Plaza Hotel's Palm Court when she was just seven years old--offers us the last word on the subject. Patty discusses the fascinating history of tea, the nuances which accompany tea's many varieties, effective preparation techniques which will give you the very best cup, delicious tea recipes, and so much more! Featuring commentary by a host of experts and dozens of fun facts and entertaining anecdotes, Tea Under the Palms is meant to be savored and revisited--like the ritual it so joyously celebrates."--
