La Caravelle was a different animal than Bouley or Windows, an old battalion. Starting with the Sud Aviation Caravelle and including the BAC 1-11, these aircraft were quieter and faster than their under wing slung competitors and much more popular with passengers. The area is occupied by many upscale tenants and hotels including The Peninsula and The Shoreham, and the exclusive La Cote Basque and La Caravelle restaurants. |
