The Good Life in Blu (is a cocktail too)

| December 3, 2011

Last night I was able to listen to a concert with pianist Dr. Jeffrey Hollander. The good doctor plays every first Thursday of the month on the 23rd floor at Blu, the cocktail lounge which looks east over Lake Michigan. Patrons sat at tables which radiated from the piano. Couples sat close to one another in a [...]

Generations of Serendipity Swirl Through the Pfister

| November 24, 2011

It’s not every day a person informs you the place you work probably had a hand in their family escaping the Holocaust. This past weekend the Pfister was blessed to host the wedding of Mr. Wiley Norden and Ms. Marissa Mullen. Marissa recently followed her career to Chicago but left her heart in Milwaukee. With [...]

Something borrowed, something blue

Hollywood Glam Meets Historic Hotel

| March 8, 2011

There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but at the Pfister, you can capitalize on lunches easily worth a million bucks. That’s what Amanda and Dan were doing today. We all spotted her first… dressed to the nines, she walked through the lobby and clearly stood out among the business-suited. She begged [...]

The Marrying Kind

| March 6, 2011

I’ve been in my fair share of weddings. For awhile there, I could truly identify with the lead character in the movie 27 Dresses and though I don’t have a separate closet full of horrible gowns, I’ve done my time in unflattering colors, shapes, lengths and get ups. My parents had two weddings—one early in [...]
