Waldorf Astoria Dress Code?
I'm planning a stay at the Waldorf and it says on its website that there is a dress code in the public areas--no t-shirts, faded jeans, or tank tops.
I assume not everyone is dressed in formal attire. For those familiar with the W-A, how far can I dress down without feeling out of place?

Why would you want to stay at an old, crusty creaky pretentious hotel if you don't want to dress like a crusty creaky pretentious person?
I'm certainly not one of the fashion police that patrol these boards - I wear tshirts and jeans all the time. But if you feel more comfortable doing so, wouldn't you rather stay at a place where you'd feel in a more comfortable environment. Besides, it's not like they're going to toss you from your room window if your shirt's untucked.

The last time I was in NYC, I met some friends in the lobby of the Waldorf. I did not feel out of place in jeans, a nice shirt, and walking shoes. Most people staying there ARE tourists.
I'd say to dress nice-casual and you'll be fine. Of course, there me be a more strict dress code for eating in the restaurants, etc. But, I can't imagine that you have to "dress up" for sightseeing in the city during the day just because you are passing thru the lobby.
Enjoy NYC...it's a fabulous city! And, I did find the Waldorf to be a very nice hotel....at least the lobby was.
