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 />

On Sunday, the Around the World 5k Run/Walk<br />

starts at 9 a.m. For registration in<strong>format</strong>ion, phone<br />

414-225-6225 or register online at www.active.com.<br />

Saturday and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $8<br />

in advance and $10 at the door. Children five and<br />

younger are admitted at no charge and tickets for<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 />
