Description: This listing is for a The Carlyle Hotel New York City (NYC) White Cocktail Napkin. Please review the pictures for its description and condition. The Carlyle became known as "the New York White House" during the administration of PresidentJohn F. Kennedy, who maintained an apartment on the 34th floor for the last ten years of his life. He stayed at the apartment in a well-publicized visit for a few days just prior to his inauguration in January 1961. Marilyn Monroe was snuck in through the service entrance on East 77th Street. After famously singing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" at Kennedy's birthday gala atMadison Square Garden on May 19, 1962, Monroe reportedly used a warren of tunnels to enter the Carlyle secretly with Kennedy and friends. TheNew York Post reported aMobsmear campaign plot onRobert F. Kennedy planned as an informant passed on information that a Mrs. Jacqueline Hammond had information on the sex capade; however, thePostarticle stated "AnFBI summary of the documents released said the bureau didn't consider the Milwaukee and Hammond information 'solid'". Years later, longtime bellman Michael O'Connell recalled, "Those tunnels. President Kennedy knew more about the tunnels than I did". The Carlyle was the last place John F. Kennedy Jr. ate breakfast before departing onhis ill-fated plane trip to Martha's Vineyard withhis wife and her sister. The Council for United Civil Rights Leadership (CUCRL) was organized in a meeting held at the Carlyle. Malcolm X expressed his concerns with having a white man in charge of this new fundraising organization during a November 10, 1963, speech, "Message to the Grass Roots". He described the hotel (rather than just one suite) as being owned by the Kennedy family. In 1967, the hotel was purchased by a partnership ofJerome L. Greene, Norman L. Peck, andPeter Jay Sharp. The hotel is the source of the name for The Carlyle Group, as it was the location where that firm's founders first met in the mid-1980s. Despite its brushes with history, the hotel retained a reputation for discretion. In June 2000, The New York Times called it a "Palace of Secrets". The hotel was the subject of a 2018 documentary film by writer-director Matthew Miele,Always at The Carlyle. In the 2024 edition of the World's 50 Best Hotels, the Carlyle was ranked as the 30th-best hotel in the world. 4 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inched
