In the West Side Spirit, Sheila McClear revisits the time in the Ansonia's history when the legendary Upper West Side building had a swingers' club called Plato's Retreat operating in its basement: "Plato’s was an Ansonia tenant from September 1977 until December 1980, when the club’s owners were paid a million dollars by management to please, please, leave. It’s just another weird thing on the list of weird things that have occurred in the castle-like building at 2109 Broadway." [West Side Spirit]
