Now Open: Warren-Tricomi Takes Root at the Plaza

Though we're still waiting on the "world-class retail collection" slated for the Plaza (Seize sur Vingt, Rachel Roy and a host of random others have signed leases at the landmark), one big draw is already open for business. Hairstyling geniuses Joel Warren and Edward Tricomi have unveiled their tri-level, 6,100-square-foot flagship salon inside the hotel; Vanity Fair took a look inside last week. The place sounds pretty amazing: stone walls, black granite floors, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, hair-washing stations where customers sit in "recliners with footrests" and pedicures done in Murano glass bowls. Cuts start at $160 and go up to $350—prices that aren't completely insane for this neck of the woods.

Plaza Hotel Kicks Out the Old, Brings In the Shoe

Another antiques shop is done, as Parc Antiques and Gems at 22 Central Park South gives up the ghost for the sake of the Plaza Hotel's expansion plans. Parc, which has been dealing vintage chandeliers and furniture for almost thirty years, lost its lease and will close today to make way for a new condominium from the Plaza people. Whatever is left at Parc will be 50-70% off or more in these last few hours, so head on up while you can still say "oh, this old thing? I got it at the Plaza."
On the other end of the Plaza Hotel's spectrum is the newest Jimmy Choo print campaign, shot in the Plaza's opulent digs by Terry Richardson. Look for the flim-flam glam pages, Choo's largest campaign yet, in the August issues of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and other similarly glossy rags.

Mid-Day RackedWire: Grove NY Grows on Hudson Street, Upset at the Plaza
[Femia, 02/12/2008]
WEST VILLAGE—Courtesy of roving Racked photog Will Femia, here's a look at currently-plywooded flower market and home décor store Grove New York going in on Hudson Street near Jane Street. The place was originally slated to open in December, but as you can see, they've got a ways to go. [Racked Inbox]
MIDTOWN EAST—Also via Femia, we hear that the deal that lingerie and sex shop Myla had with the Plaza Hotel fell through. No word on what will replace the retailer, as he relates that "the doorman at the Plaza could only afford a smirk at my questions about shops in the hotel. From the 58th street side there are a few visible construction projects that could conceivably be for retail." [Racked Staff]
