A hundred years after it first entered into the city's lore, and nearly three years after it was closed for renovations, the owners of the Plaza Hotel are planning a celebration at the building, which overlooks Central Park.
Monday's plans include fireworks by Grucci, a live performance of a reworked "My Way'' by composer Paul Anka, and a 12-foot edible cake replica of the Plaza Hotel. Actor Matthew Broderick has been invited to host the festivities.
The Plaza closed in April 2005 to undergo a $350 million renovation and restoration after Isaac Tshuva's company, Elad Properties, purchased it for $675 million.
The company is close to completing a top-to-bottom renovation that will transform part of the building into fabulously expensive luxury condominiums.
The Plaza, a National Historic Landmark, was designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh to replicate the grandeur of a French Renaissance-style Chateau.
broke into a Todt Hill home on Flagg Place Thursday night. But he didn't stick around very long. The homeowners, a dentist and his wife,
scared him off. The hooded thief became known as the "Ninja Burglar" after more than a dozen North Shore break-ins. Residents are so on
edge, our Glenn Schuck says one man answered the door Saturday morning
holding a baseball bat.
The hooded thief is suspected in more than a dozen burglaries on Staten Island since last Spring.
In one incident earlier this month, a man claimed he stabbed the burglar after confronting him in his Donagan Hills home.
Anyone with information about the 'Ninja Burglar' is urged to call the NYPD's CrimeStoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.

Imagine a baseball playoff race involving the Yankees, the Mets, and another team anchored in northern New Jersey. The Mets or Yanks would battle with the third team, sort of like the Dodgers and Giants of the Golden Era of New York baseball a half-century ago. Those two teams played their last New York City home games exactly 50 years ago this month and then departed for California. One present-day owner thinks that it is time for baseball to rectify its mistake and get a third team in the area. The National League abandoned New York and squelched any plans for the Cincinnati Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates
to take the Dodgers' and Giants' place. Indeed, the league had no plans
to return to New York until plans for a rival league, the Continental
League, were unveiled in the late 1950s. In October 1960, after there
was some congressional pressure put on the separate entities of the
American and National Leagues, the NL expanded into New York and Houston.
