Condé Nast in rat race to rid rodents in 1 WTC

One pressing concern to the Condé Nast folks is the appearance of rats in the company’s offices at 1 World Trade Center.

Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, whose staff has already moved into the 25th and 26th floors, was said to be horrified by the news.

One insider said there were at least two rat sightings and reports that they gnawed on some food left out overnight — a no-no now in the office.

Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair, and David Remnick at the New Yorker won’t be moving until late January, so hopefully the problem will have been solved by then.

The problem can’t be blamed on open food in the test kitchen either because Bon Appétit isn’t slated to move in until next month and the cafeteria isn’t expected to open until the end of January at the earliest.

“There were some issues. It’s not a current problem,” said one insider. “There was some extermination over the last few weeks.”
