The Pfister Hotel will be offering overnight stays for guests at a reduced price of $100. The Pfister Hotel also will be offering [...]

We’re having tea again this weekend. I am on a mission to expose everyone I know to this amazing day out. I was told yesterday, however, that I am to dress up. One of the friends has bought a new dress just for the tea outing. It’s important for me to tell you, I see [...]

I promised endless gushing about the Business Journal’s Book of Lists event, and I will deliver. As I mentioned before, a number of things resonated for me in that transformed ballroom, but the importance of human interactions ranks highest. In my professional and personal life, I spend my time managing a number of social media [...]

The historic Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee is helping another talented local writer develop his or her passion for writing, while enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The hotel has announced the search for its second-ever in-house storyteller, known as the Pfister Narrator. He or she will spend time in the hotel’s lobby, interviewing visitors and guests [...]

My favorite movie of all time is Working Girl. I remember how charmed my mom was by Harrison Ford (especially the scene where he changes shirts in his office) and personally, I love the sage bits of wisdom that fall, in full Jersey accent, out of Melanie Griffith and Joan Cusack’s mouths. This more than [...]

The Pfister Hotel is never the same place twice…and that’s the best part. Since I have been named the Narrator, I try to bring different friends into the Pfister to sit and watch and enjoy with me. There are different kinds of reactions. Some have known the hotel much longer than I (I am only [...]

Home to more Victorian Art than any other hotel in the world, the historic Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee for the past two years has hosted an artist-in-residence program. A selection committee, consisting of members of the local art community, has announced the six finalists for the 2010—2011 term of the program. This year’s finalists [...]

The Pfister is always in motion. One evening this week, the lobby was punctuated by business travelers all in their black wool coats, deftly rolling their carry on luggage behind them like disobedient children as they purposefully walked to the desk to check in. Crossing past the late arrivals were those already nestled into the [...]

I’m not ashamed to say I haven’t taken my Christmas decorations down yet. I just can’t get enough of the holiday and have been a little blue to see the Pfister returned to its pre-holiday state. It is still gorgeous, of course, sans tree, baubles and wreaths. I was there on one of the [...]

I laugh at the character Charlotte on Sex in the City, the popular HBO television series. When she’s single, she grows frustrated when she doesn’t have plans on Saturday night. “But it’s date night!” she wails when others suggest things for her to do. I don’t think date night is solely Saturday night in Milwaukee. [...]
