Battle for the Pierre

Here's a fascinating article about the battle between owners and shareholders of the Pierre, the gorgeous hotel/apartment building on 59th Street -- across from its brethern the Plaza and the Sherry Netherland. It's a story of rich people vs. other rich people, corruption vs. stubborness, Old New York money and taste vs. global wealth and crassness.

It's an Only in NYC story!

FYI: the main dining room of the Pierre is where the legendary tango scene from Scent of a Woman took place.
