Call it the biography of a place, a collaborative memoir, a
history-but whatever you call it, The Persian Room Presents will
transport you to the most elegant and magical night spot New York has
ever known. In this dishy, personal, and compulsively readable book,
dozens of celebrities reminisce about their experiences performing and
partying at the Plaza and they all agree on one thing: there's never
been anyplace like it.
