Christmas comes early to <strong>Milwaukee</strong>!<br />
Rockettes kick start the season Nov. 13-16<br />
THE RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR,<br />
starring the high-kicking Rockettes, opens<br />
<strong>Milwaukee</strong>’s holiday season this month with performances<br />
in the U.S. Cellular Arena Nov. 13-16.<br />
Recognized as the top live holiday production in the<br />
world, the show has been redesigned this year for<br />
performances in large-scale, arena settings. Directed<br />
and choreographed by Linda Haberman, who conceived<br />
and directed last year’s critically acclaimed<br />
75th celebratory show at Radio City Music Hall, the<br />
show combines the high-energy Rockette performance<br />
numbers with breathtaking sets and special<br />
effects designed to fill venues like the arena at 400<br />
W. Kilbourn Ave.<br />
sets and special effects, such as Santa flying into the<br />
audience as snow falls on the crowd, allow families<br />
to connect with both the intimacy and grandness of<br />
the Christmas Spectacular.<br />
Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday,<br />
Nov. 13; 2 and 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14; Noon, 3:30<br />
and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, and 3:30 and 7 p.m.<br />
Sunday, Nov. 16. Tickets may be purchased at the<br />
U.S. Cellular Arena Box Office at 500 W. Kilbourn<br />
Ave. in The <strong>Milwaukee</strong> Theatre, by calling<br />
Ticketmaster at 414-276-4545 or at<br />
www.uscellulararena.com.<br />
“My vision for the Rockettes and<br />
the Christmas Spectacular has<br />
always been to explore scale and<br />
take the precision dance form to<br />
new levels, whether in a theatrical<br />
venue or an arena space,”<br />
said Ms. Haberman. “In my<br />
view, the mark of a true classic<br />
is that it is timeless, relevant<br />
and can be re-interpreted to push<br />
artistic boundaries.”<br />
The new arena production is<br />
enhanced by an immense LED<br />
screen that transports the audience<br />
from a wintry landscape<br />
to Times Square to Santa’s<br />
workshop. Larger-than-life<br />

Holiday Folk Fair International<br />
brings the world to <strong>Milwaukee</strong><br />
HOLIDAY FOLK FAIR INTERNATIONAL celebrates<br />
its 65th anniversary Nov. 21-23, once again providing<br />
the opportunity to travel around the globe without<br />
a bit of jet lag or even a plane ticket.<br />
Held in the Wisconsin Exposition Center at<br />
Wisconsin State Fair Park, 8200 W. Greenfield Ave.,<br />
the three-day celebration features tantalizing foods,<br />
irresistible music, intriguing dance performances<br />
and a vast array of exhibits and merchandise.<br />
Produced by the International Institute of Wisconsin,<br />
the <strong>Milwaukee</strong>-based nonprofit social service organization<br />
dedicated to racial, cultural and ethnic understanding,<br />
the award-winning event is one of the<br />
largest festivals of its kind, drawing visitors from<br />
throughout the Midwest.<br />
This year’s theme is “Celebrate the Language of<br />
Culture.” It’s estimated that by 2100, more than half<br />
of the 7,000 languages spoken on Earth—many of<br />
them never recorded—will likely disappear, taking<br />
with them a wealth of knowledge about history, culture,<br />
the natural environment and how the human<br />
brain works. This year, Folk Fair recognizes the<br />
impact of those languages.<br />
Language defines a culture, through both the people<br />
who speak it and what it allows speakers to say,<br />
explains Al Durtka, president of the International<br />
Institute. Words that describe a particular cultural<br />
practice or idea rarely translate precisely into another<br />
language.<br />
At every Folk Fair, the way various cultures prepare<br />
their food is a focus for visitors. Numerous food<br />
booths offer appetizers, main dishes, sandwiches<br />
and desserts, all authentically prepared and priced<br />
to encourage sampling. At the Coffee House, coffee<br />
or tea, sweet treats and music are the specialties.<br />
Celebrating 65 years<br />
The International Bazaar is the perfect place for holiday<br />
shopping. Booths decorated to represent the featured<br />
country offer items that showcase artistic traditions<br />
and handicrafts. Frequently holiday items<br />
are featured, giving visitors a perfect chance to buy<br />
something authentic for seasonal gift giving.<br />
On Heritage Lane, visitors can interact with ethnic<br />
volunteers to learn about the customs and traditions
“Between Homes,” photo exhibition,<br />
Bangkok Refugee Center<br />
of many different cultures. “Passports” are available<br />
for children, who thrill at having them stamped at<br />
the many intricately decorated booths. At the outdoor<br />
Revolutionary War Encampment, fair-goers<br />
also can ask questions of re-enactors from both sides<br />
of the conflict.<br />
Regularly scheduled shows at the All Nations<br />
Theater feature groups performing traditional music<br />
and dance with flair, drama and color. At the Folk<br />
Fair’s International Stage, attention focuses on dance<br />
performances by young people. The Music Pavilion<br />
features an array of musical groups.<br />
On display for the first time is “Between Homes,” an<br />
exhibition of photographs from the Bangkok<br />
Refugee Center. The center provides education, medical<br />
and mental health services, vocational training<br />
and legal assistance to many of the refugees who<br />
come to Thailand. Another display of dramatic photos<br />
of the polar landscape comes from the National<br />
Science Foundation in celebration of the<br />
International Polar Year. And, for a contemplative<br />
experience, visit the fair’s display of Bonsai.<br />
On Saturday at 10:30 a.m., the Folk Fair holds its traditional<br />
naturalization ceremony of hundreds of<br />
individuals. Other regular Folk Fair events include<br />
the Education Day/Cultural Awareness Program<br />
held on Friday for fourth- through eighth-grade students<br />
from the Greater <strong>Milwaukee</strong> area.<br />

A HOME FOR EVERY LIFESTYLE<br />
At Mandel Group we see ourselves not as developers but<br />
as community builders. Mandel Group developments<br />
are distinguished by the attention we invest in making<br />
them assets to the neighborhoods in which they are<br />
built. Many times we build the neighborhood ourselves,<br />
providing the missing pieces that complete the package.<br />
Like public parks, riverwalks, staircases to the lakefront.<br />
Shops and stores that make the city more livable. Public<br />
linkages that get you where you want to go – by bike,<br />
rollerblade or kayak.<br />

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH<br />
HOTEL METRO<br />
BAR & CAFE<br />
STEP INSIDE THE Metro Bar & Café, and discover a<br />
dining experience that is as welcoming as it is stylish.<br />
The hotel’s interior was inspired by the streamlined<br />
design of the building’s art moderne, 1937 limestone<br />
exterior. A tranquil ambiance was achieved through<br />
the use of smooth curves and ovals, natural fibers,<br />
warm colors, and recessed lighting.<br />
Sink into the comfortable couch seating that is an<br />
option in both the bar and café, and your Metro experience<br />
begins. That welcome is affirmed by Metro’s<br />
staff, providing the knowledgeable yet personal service<br />
that the term “boutique” implies. General<br />
Manager Ron Edwards places a high priority on service,<br />
and describes Metro’s wait staff as “friendly and<br />
accommodating.”<br />
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a<br />
week, Metro also has become a favorite after-five<br />
meeting place, since “Happy Hour” is celebrated<br />
seven days a week, 5-7 p.m. except Sunday, when it<br />
runs 5-10 p.m. There also are nightly drink specials.<br />
The Rooftop Lounge, Zen on 7, and the outdoor patio<br />
area also are open to the public.<br />
Many have discovered that Metro is a great place to<br />
greet the day, whether that means a business breakfast<br />
or a solitary session with a cup of coffee served on the<br />
restaurant’s lovely china. Lunchtime finds business<br />
people and leisure travelers alike enjoying gourmet<br />
pizzas, sandwiches, salads and noontime specials.<br />
Accustomed to travelers visiting from many different<br />
time zones, the Metro Café staff welcomes guests<br />
throughout the day.<br />
Metro’s emphasis on being earth-friendly, evidenced<br />
by its designation by the “Travel Green Wisconsin”<br />
program, carries through in the restaurant. For example,<br />
when fashioning his menus, Executive Chef Nic<br />
Sandoval uses local, organically produced sources<br />
whenever possible.<br />
The attention to detail that distinguishes Hotel Metro<br />
also is a cornerstone in the bar and restaurant, from<br />
appetizer to dessert. Begin your dinner Maryland<br />
Crab Cakes, Asian spring rolls, or Bruschetta made<br />
with French baguette.<br />
Entrée favorites include Chilean Sea Bass, broiled with<br />
fresh herbs and sweet butter; Chicken Argentino,<br />
chicken breast wrapped around spinach, sun-dried<br />
tomatoes and provolone cheese and served with a<br />
Boursin cream sauce; or Beef Tournedos, two filet<br />
medallions flame-broiled and topped with roasted<br />
tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and Hollandaise sauce.<br />
Daily specials reveal the chef’s creativity. Often focusing<br />
on fish or seafood, these offerings vary, depending<br />
on the best from the world’s oceans and lakes.<br />
For those dropping in after a Bucks game, concert, or<br />
theater performance, Metro’s incredible dessert menu<br />
beckons. All desserts, including the Apple Walnut<br />
Upside-Down Pie (served warm and topped with<br />
caramel sauce and Chantilly crème), are made on the<br />
premises.<br />
From 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, order<br />
from Metro’s expansive brunch menu, served tableside.<br />
Choices range from egg dishes to sandwiches to<br />
entrees, including three different versions Eggs<br />
Benedict and Oatmeal Brulee.<br />
During warm weather months, Metro’s outdoor dining<br />
is a popular option. Another Hotel Metro stressfighter<br />
is the valet parking. And the entire facility is<br />
WiFi. Your reservations for the restaurant can be<br />
made at 225-3270, and questions are welcomed at<br />
272-1937. Visit the Web at www.hotelmetro.com.<br />
