Eloise lived large. She had run of The Plaza, and Central Park was her backyard.

Your kids, on the other hand, bunk in a former walk-in closet and are confused by grass.

Ride out the remainder of the summer with the recently resurrected Tricycle Garage. Originally opened in 1956 — in response to the success of Kay Thompson’s first Eloise book — the garage had bike and trike rentals for young New Yorkers and hotel guests channeling their pint-size heroine’s rambunctious spirit.

The 2011 version stays true to that vision with a fleet of vintage-inspired Radio Flyer ride-ons and scooters kids can take for a spin around the park.

Eloise would have absolutely loved, loved, loved it.

Available at The Plaza Boutique, 1 West 58th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues (212-546-5454 or theplaza.com), $20 for two hours; $40 per day.
