Hollywood A-listers fled New York's hip downtown for the Upper East Side, following the power failure caused by monster storm Sandy.
TriBeCa residents
Naomi Watts and
Liev Schreiber checked into The Mark Hotel on East 77th Street with their sons on Tuesday after the power went out downtown, the New York Post reported.
Model
Helena Christensen also fled her SoHo loft for the comfortable surroundings of The Mark, along with
Anna Wintour, who lost power at her West Village townhouse, as well as former French Vogue editor
Carine Roitfeld.
Russell Crowe, ironically in town filming the Noah's Ark epic
Noah, also checked in, among other big names including
Marc Jacobs, Kelly Ripa,
Jonah Hill and
Emma Stone.
'The scene at The Mark was buzzing with big names escaping the downtown blackout. Emma Stone and Jonah Hill were at the bar, while
Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and
André Balazs were at different tables in the restaurant,' a source said.
Alec Baldwin and wife
Hilaria escaped to the luxurious Lowell Hotel on East 63rd Street after their SoHo place lost power, along with indefatigable
Harvey Weinstein and wife
Georgina Chapman, whose West Village townhouse was also plunged into darkness.
Over at the Loews Regency on Park Avenue were Harold Ford Jr and wife Emily, as well as former Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza.
Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted at the Plaza Athenee.
At the Carlyle were couple Mary-Kate Olsen and Oliver Sarkozy, fleeing their East 10th Street townhouse.
One celebrity who stayed put was Katie Holmes, who is said to have remained in her apartment at the Chelsea Mercantile with daughter Suri.
'Katie and Suri stayed safe and calm by torchlight,' a source said.
It is believed she and Suri relocated to an uptown hotel after the storm passed.
