It isn't just a flash lobby .. It's everywhere!Sounds crass but it's pretty classy. Trump should've checked this place out before renovating the WHPeacock Alley bar. Appropriately named. People come here to... well, to peacockA tenement apartment on display complete with the story of its occupants. Far from the WaldorfNo French toiletries here.A tasting tour to reflect the times.

    Ok, so the Waldorf is amazing but the staff are next level. They are all model types who are dressed in glam, but super classy outfits based on their section and their role. The *welcome" boys and girls at the Peacock Alley bar, for example wear peacock blue safari suits for boys and goldfinger sequined bodysuits for girls... Unless, of course, it is daytime in which case the girls wear Barbarellaesque silver space jumpsuits. They are all well trained to be super friendly, playful and not at all snooty despite the $5000 flower displays, 10m high frescoed ceilings and decor that is clearly the inspiration for Hollywood Brown Derby. Yeah we went to the 9/11 memorial and to a cafe but let's focus on the hotel and it's history... Wowsers! At the other end of the spectrum we did go to the tenement museum which features the original buildings of immigrants that came to the US.. their homes, their stories and their struggles. What a contrast!Læs mere
