Escape to the French Room
In happier news, the French Room returns to the Hotel Adolphus downtown after a two-year hiatus. The decor is inspired by Lilly Anheuser, wife of Adolphus Busch, who built the hotel a century ago. Their spring theme is Bar Lily, a blooming tropical paradise filled with, you guessed it, lilies. The new season also brings unique cocktails, including a showstopper rum punch called the Tiki State of Mind, made with Flor de Cana 18 Year rum, Batavia Arrack (a spirit that pre-dates rum), Velvet Falernum, and Guavalt. Bar Lily is open Wednesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.
