The Palm Court is one of the five food halls at The Plaza Hotel, which is the most charming one either. The Plaza Hotel is one of the historical hotels in New York that is over 100 years old.  The Hotel became the one of the hotspots in 1920s; it hosted remarkable business leaders, artists, socialites and movie stars throughout the history. It was the haunt of F.Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald and their friends in 1920s. Also, F. Scott Fitzgerald's used The Plaza as a setting for his famous novel The Great Gatsby.

1900's "Beaux Art" style of architecture is seen at each section of the hotel. The Palm Court has pleasant, cheering and very fresh ambiance. Gigantic white marble columns, palms, calla lilies, sculptures, huge mirrors make place looks like a fantastic winter garden. Huge Art Nouveau style ceiling made of stained glass is another amazing part of The Palm Court, which makes place brighter. Once you get in, you wouldn't want this experience to end for a long time.

The Palm Court serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. A la Carte brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday as well. We prefer to have a breakfast, but afternoon tea at The Plaza is also delightful experience.

Fresh orange juice is served right away. Breakfast Menu has a wide variety of organic food selections. We decided to have American breakfast classics: Belgian Waffle and Buttermilk Pancakes. Belgian Waffle is served with fresh red fruits, sweet cream, strawberry compote and Vermont maple-pecans.

Buttermilk Pancakes is very fulfilling which consists of three layers. The Palm Court offers three types of pancakes: Plain, blueberry or nutella-banana with organic vermont maple syrup.

Our another choice was Market Vegetable Quiche. It was made of zucchini, mushrooms and spinach  served with escarole salad with shallot-lemon vinaigrette. It is a bit buttery, however absolutely satisfying and delicious. Market Vegetable Quiche is the winner of our breakfast.

Having breakfast at The Palm Court is great for a calm beginning to Sunday or Saturday. Hotel is located in a prime location. Therefore, it is easy to take a trip in Central Park or to shop at Fifth Avenue. We strongly recommend having a breakfast or afternoon tea at The Palm Court for not only vacationist but also New Yorkers.
