Today's Post reports that 92% of the retail space under the Plaza Hotel has been leased. But are shoppers going to be as enthusiastic? This Curbed commenter doesn't sound convinced. "It's very strange. A warren of tiny high-end retail shops (cashmere, ties, etc.) with lots of beige stone everywhere.
