If you have yet to see the face-lift and cleansing peal operation the Foshay Tower has undergone, then the upcoming Happy Hour with a Preservationist is for you. Hear about the challenges of its preservation and enjoy a cocktail in the glamourous lounge bar or a mouth-watering meal in the chic yet comfy new location of the longstanding Manny's Steakhouse.
