Our July meeting at The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Old Town was quite an experience. Our lunch began with three different drink samples as we chatted away. Nothing like a Whiskey Sour, Manhattan or Margarita to get your meeting started! We got a tour of the hotel where we learned that the bottom floor of the building was built in 1829, when the land was still part of Mexico! Our pleasant guide presented colorful details of the Cosmopolitan’s long history, including the life of the owner with his family, the stages of the building’s use—from stagecoach stop to restaurant, some shady business transactions, and a “haunted” room. Our treat continued with lunch on the outdoor patio, with live piano music in the air. We were served some very creative and tasty dishes, in several courses, and were continually attended to by our host and the waiters. Thank you Cosmopolitan Hotel, you out did yourself!
