Great news. Just hope the one they open in NYC is as cool as the original/vintage versions.

Does anyone know what is happening in the space formerly occupied by Trader Vic's NYC in the basement of the Plaza Hotel? I heard it's still not being used. Are the furnishing and decorations still intact? Might warrant an investigation.

Maybe a little late for a response, but I just noticed the post. I live a few blocks from the Plaza, and there is currently nothing there. There was a nightclub there for a while (I went in out of curiosity, but it was heartbreaking to see), so it is definitely not intact.

I am hoping and praying for a return to NYC of the good Trader. Interestingly enough, there is still a brass sign next to the fire hose "siamese" connection that says "Trader Vic's". I am getting a digital camera next week and I want to get a picture of that. I can post it if anyone cares.
