Park Plaza

Hello,

You will excuse, I hope for it my imperfect English. I am French and I take part in a competition whose a question relates to Park Plaza of New York!

Here the question :

En Français : Achevé en 1931, le Park Plaza de New-York est considéré comme l'un des plus beaux immeuble Art Deco de la ville. Mais dans quel quartier se trouve-t-il ?

1 - Dans le Bronx 2 - à Central Park West 3 - à Greenwich village

In English : Finished in 1931, Park Plaza of New York is regarded as one of most beautiful the building Art Deco of the city. But in which district is it ?

1 - In Bronx 2 - in Central Park West 3 - in Greenwich village

In spite of long search on Internet, I do not find anything on this building.

Could you help me to solve it?

I excuse myself to have disturbed to you, and thanks you in advance for the answer which you will be able to me to bring

You're right - a difficult thing to find on the web. But I did find this, which might be helpful to you.
