Even though you posted that question(what's in the Trader Vic's Plaza Hotel location now?) several years ago, the answer is (STILL) the same: NOTHING.
Donald Trump - the KING of tacky, tasteless, BULLSHIT, got rid of the ONE THING that made going to The Plaza FUN: TRADER VIC'S. He didn't want TV to get the money, so he put in his 'own' Tiki place - I think it was called Tahiti, or something like that. I went there a couple of times as that, and NO ONE was ever there.
Ever.
Now, when it was Trader Vic's - THAT was a blast.
Our drinking laws at the time, were '18 and over' to drink, and, this being NYC, well - a lot of times, they (and every other place) let it slide.
I'd been going to TV - first for my (and my mom's) birthday. We're born 3 days apart. We'd go there from the time I was 13 or so (shhh!), and, she only had some 'white wine spritzer' (such a nasty drink! Especially at TV's!), while I drank Zombie-after-Zombie. And, I was always fine.
The staff knew me so well (I was there at least once-a-week), they always called me by name, as soon as I got down there, and, always had my regular favorite spot waiting.
Now, the only TV's I can go to, is when I'm on the 'left coast;' The Beverly Hills Hilton TV.
I PRAY to the all-mighty Tiki-God to PLEASE, PLEASE!!! BRING BACK OUR TRADER VIC'S TO NYC!!!!
