Tour of the revamped Waldorf Astoria: Huge suites, see-and-be-seen scene
NEW YORK -- The email from the hotel rep said to "meet at the clock in Peacock Alley at 3 p.m." Simple enough, but the context gave the instructions extra weight. After all, this wasn't just any clock, and this particular Peacock Alley lounge had a reputation that preceded it. This was the Waldorf Astoria New York, just over a week into its reopening after more than eight years of closure, and my anticipation to see the revamped iteration of this New York institution was running high. Walking into the art deco high-rise from its glitzy Park Avenue entrance, I was immediately transported to another era. Guests are greeted by a soaring, light-filled space, while an intricate, 148,000-tile mosaic, designed by the French artist Louis Rigal, spreads across the floor. Colorful and carefully restored murals, also by Rigal, wrap the walls, depicting scenes of hunting and feasting. Consider it a sort of Sistine Chapel for the luxury hospitality set. Guests entering the hotel on Park Avenue are greeted by the "Wheel of Life" mosaic by Louis Rigal. Photo Credit: Christina Jelski Farther into the hotel lies Peacock Alley, a warmer, more intimate space humming with conversation and clinking glasses. The lounge's name originates from the passageway that once connected the separate Waldorf and Astoria hotels, which were located at Fifth Avenue and 33rd Street. (The current, consolidated Park Avenue property opened in 1931.) The space became known for attracting stylish clientele who liked to parade around in their finest, giving birth to the Peacock Alley concept. Today, every Waldorf Astoria property features its own version of Peacock Alley, but this one draws its inspiration directly from the original, essentially serving as the hotel's nerve center. The all-day venue is home to not only the aforementioned clock, originally crafted for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, but also a restored Steinway piano once owned by Cole Porter, on which he reportedly composed many of his greatest works while living at the Waldorf Astoria New York in the 1930s. Notably, there's no velvet rope around these priceless artifacts. While I studied the ornate clock from mere inches away, another curious guest casually tested a few keys on Porter's piano.

Photo Credit: Christina Jelski What I was most curious about, however, was upstairs, where the hotel has transformed its 1,400 rooms into just 375 guestrooms and 372 residences. As a result, the property now claims to offer some of the largest entry-level guestrooms in the city, most of them exceeding 570 square feet. The one-bedroom king suite I toured certainly didn't skimp on space. The stately, apartmentlike digs offered distinct sitting and dining areas, a separate bedroom and an expansive, windowed bathroom flooded with natural light. The suite was also remarkably quiet, despite facing a busy Manhattan street. (I was later told the hotel had installed more than 5,000 new double-glazed windows throughout the building.) The Silver Corridor, which was inspired by Versailles' Hall of Mirrors, links the Waldorf Astoria New York's Grand Ballroom, Astor Room, Jade Room and Basildon Room event spaces. Photo Credit: Christina Jelski Selfie-worthy spaces Perhaps the hotel's most dazzling spaces are its event facilities, accessible via the Silver Corridor, a jewel box of a hallway that links the hotel's Grand Ballroom, Astor Room, Jade Room and Basildon Room. (The mirrored walls of the Silver Corridor, in particular, practically beg for selfies.) The massive Grand Ballroom, which is still under renovation and on track to open in September, is another standout, framed by opera house-inspired balconies, sparkling chandeliers and silver filigree. My tour ended where it began, near the famous clock, where we ran into chef Michael Anthony, who helms New York's legendary Gramercy Tavern and now also leads Lex Yard, the hotel's signature restaurant. When pressed for recommendations, Anthony suggested starting with Lex Yard's seasonal vegetables -- which he said "steal the show" -- before enthusiastically endorsing the roasted chicken. The chance encounter is proof that you never know just who you might meet at the clock. And judging by the hotel's steady stream of visitors, the Waldorf Astoria New York appears well on its way to regaining its status as a see-and-be-seen destination.

Rihanna's Pregnancy Era Has Entered Its Softest Phase Yet — Thanks to a Very Hands-On A$AP Rocky
Rihanna is glowing — and no, it's not just the baby bump. As she prepares to welcome her third child with A$AP Rocky, the Fenty founder and Smurfs star is getting a whole lot of love, support, and late-night snack deliveries from her partner of five years. According to People, the couple is 'thrilled' to be growing their family again, and sources close to the pair say this pregnancy feels different — softer, slower, and somehow even more full of love. 'He's completely tuned into her needs,' the insider shared of Rocky, who's been 'incredibly attentive and nurturing' as Rihanna rests and gets ready for baby no. 3. More from SheKnows Rihanna's Baby Bump Is on Full Display at the Met Gala After Revealing Her 3rd Pregnancy While some dads might think diaper duty earns them a gold star, Rocky's in full-service mode. He's reportedly handling bedtime routines, entertaining sons RZA, 3, and Riot Rose, almost 2, and running baths for Rihanna at the end of the day. Yes, baths. With foot rubs. And snacks. 'He always makes her laugh,' the source added. 'He keeps things light and full of love.' The couple revealed the pregnancy just ahead of the 2025 Met Gala — in true Rihanna fashion, by casually stepping out of The Carlyle in a powder-blue two-piece with her bump on full display. It marked her third major pregnancy reveal in as many years, following her viral 2023 Super Bowl moment and her first pregnancy announcement in 2022, when she wore a $29K outfit in a paparazzi photo, per Us Weekly. Still, this time seems more intimate. Back in December, Rihanna joked that the only thing she hadn't achieved yet was having a daughter. 'I'm batting at 75 percent for a boy next time,' she told E! News. 'So, we'll just keep our fingers crossed.' And in April, she doubled down: 'I would try for my girl,' she told Interview. 'But of course, if it's another boy, it's another boy.' Either way, Rocky's right there next to her. Even if he doesn't help dress the kids — 'That's their mother by herself,' he admitted last year — he still plays muse. 'Sometimes she dresses them like me… kilts and all of that,' he said. Now, with a third baby on the way and a nightly foot rub seemingly locked in, it's safe to say this might be Rihanna's coziest pregnancy of SheKnows AP Scores Just Came Out — Here's What to Do If Your Teen's Upset About Theirs Celebrate Freedom With These Perfectly-Patriotic Americana Baby Names July 4th Printable Coloring Pages to Keep Kids Busy All Day Solve the daily Crossword

Trump Praised Epstein as ‘The Greatest' in Note: Report
As allegations over Donald Trump's relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein escalate, the latest report claims that the president's name appears in a list of contributors for a 50th birthday book to Epstein, and that in another book, a copy of Trump: The Art of the Comeback, Trump left Epstein a flattering note. The New York Times today alleged that among a list of Epstein associates asked to contribute birthday messages to the book, Trump's name appeared among the likes of billionaire Leslie H. Wexner and Alan C. Greenberg, CEO of the failed Wall Street investment bank Bear Stearns. The Wall Street Journal also reported this week that Bill Clinton, Leon Black, and Vera Wang were among five dozen contributors to the 2003 book. The Times report arrives a week after the Journal dropped a bombshell report claiming Trump wrote a birthday letter to Epstein in the early 2000s in which the future president, addressing the future convicted sex offender, wrote that 'we have certain things in common.' The Journal alleged that the letter signed with Trump's name was outlined by a drawing of a naked woman. Trump has vehemently denied that he wrote the letter and claimed that he doesn't 'draw pictures,' despite having a well-documented history of drawing pictures for charity events. In the Times report published today, the newspaper also claimed that Trump once addressed Epstein in a note left in a copy of his book, Trump: The Art of the Comeback, that belonged to Epstein. The inscription was allegedly signed 'Donald,' dated the month the book released, 'Oct '97,' and praised Epstein: 'To Jeff — You are the greatest!' While Trump continues to deny the mounting allegations against him, the Journal reported on Wednesday that the Justice Department told the president that his name appears multiple times in the government's files related to the convicted sex offender. A recent South Park episode took a jab at the president's alleged relationship with Epstein, attacked his 'teeny tiny' manhood, and depicted him as literally in bed with the devil. The White House has been raging since it aired. 'Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' Trump White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone in a statement this morning. 'President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak.'More from Rolling Stone Trump Is Trying to Hide the Cost of Renovating His New Air Force One Supreme Court Lets Trump Enact His Authoritarian Agenda on Its 'Shadow Docket' Trump's Senior Moments Are Getting Worse Best of Rolling Stone The Useful Idiots New Guide to the Most Stoned Moments of the 2020 Presidential Campaign Anatomy of a Fake News Scandal The Radical Crusade of Mike Pence
