The Eloise Menu
The Plaza Hotel
1957

The Plaza catered to the Eloise fans who visited the hotel. There was an Eloise Ice Cream Parlor and a special "Eloise Menu" was offered in the Palm Court. The menu was created with the assistance of Kay Thompson and utilized a Hilary Knight illustration of Eloise on her tricycle on the cover. Inside, there is a little story along with the menu.

I am Eloise
I am six
I am a city child
I live here at the Plaza
Nanny tells me to be good good good
Especially when I am eating
I must eat or I'll dry up
Everybody knows that
Here's what I like
Tricycles
And here's the thing of it
There's this Tricycle garage
where you can park your tricycle too
Skipperdee is my turtle
He eats raisins
The Plaza is the only hotel in New York
that will allow you to have a turtle
Weenie is my dog
I put sunglasses on him
when we go on tricycle trips through the Park
Oooooooo there's so much to do
I absolutely love the Plaza

The adventures of Eloise, a little girl who lives at The Plaza, were created by Kay
Thompson in her book, "ELOISE," illustrated by Hilary Knight and published by
Simon and Schuster.
