Fictional Place
Eloise
by Kay Thompson (1955)
768 Fifth Ave, Midtown
The Plaza Hotel is home to Eloise, the irrepressible six-year-old who lives on the top floor with her nanny, her pug dog Weenie, and her turtle Skipperdee. Kay Thompson's beloved children's book brought the Plaza to life as a place of mischief and adventure, and a portrait of Eloise still hangs in the hotel lobby today.
