Here’s the thing about the Pfister: all of its history, its massive holiday decorations, its formally dressed staff and its exquisite service can be intimidating, but in fact, the opposite is true.

There are so many corners to lose yourself in at the Pfister Hotel. Just when I think I’ve found the perfect nook, I realize, there’s already a soft chair or couch there waiting for me—a clear demonstration that the staff at the Pfister know that cozy corners are a commodity. The thing is, as part [...]

Milwaukee may be known as the City of Festivals, but they don’t just happen by themselves; many dedicated residents and volunteers preserve our culture and promote the heritage of the city annually.
