| Summary |
Journalist Julie Satow pulls back the curtain on the storied history of New York City's Plaza Hotel. She also follows the money trail, revealing how during the Great Depression, a handful of rich widows saved the hotel, and how foreign money and shell companies have transformed the iconic guest rooms into condominiums shielding ill-gotten gains and hollowing out the hotel as well as the city around it. |
