BIG APPLE BUSINESS: Shops at the Plaza
Oh how we love love love the Plaza! Eloise was such a strong influence on us at a young age we even use her expressions, such as that love love love. As a disclaimer we must say that prior to the 2005 renovation we felt the decor was much more Chez Peachy...but how can you go wrong with the shops!
