Thu, 25 June 2009  The Trump International Hotel and Tower opens its drop-dead gorgeous Terrace tonight, and we had a little preview last night. With commanding views to the North, East and South, including a killer view of the Chicago River and Lake, it is without peer in Chicago. I spoke with the Trump's Food & Beverage Director about the new Terrace, and what they'll be serving out there. More information at: www.trumpchicagohotel.comComments[0] |
