\"Palmer

The brownie was invented at Chicago’s Palmer House over a century ago.<\/p><\/div>\n

From their architectural elements to their A-list inhabitants, much ado is made of historic hotels. Equally of note are the iconic dishes served found in dining rooms within. They pay homage to eras past\u2014and give the space a sense of place.<\/p>\n

At Cajun and Creole-bent Restaurant R\u2019evolution at New Orleans\u2019 Royal Sonesta Hotel<\/a>, pastry chef Erin Swanson whips up Tarte a la Bouillie, a tweaked take on a traditional custard pie. Usually made in less fussy fashion in home kitchens in the River Parishes, it incorporates readily available ingredients. Here, though, it\u2019s reimagined with Ponchatoula strawberries, strawberry gel\u00e9e<\/em>, strawberry-white balsamic gastrique and vanilla meringue. Consider during here lunch, when you\u2019ll also find specials that nod to bygone NOLA chefs and restaurants.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at Lockwood Restaurant in Chicago\u2019s Palmer House Hilton<\/a>, Executive Chef Joseph Rose keeps history alive with the iconic Palmer House brownie. It was invented to appease Bertha Honore Palmer, wife of the hotel\u2019s founder, Potter Palmer, who wanted a portable treat for the 1893 World\u2019s Columbian Exposition. After enjoying a variation on the original, stroll through the soaring lobby of longest continuously operating hotel in America.<\/p>\n

Still, Pennsylvania<\/a>\u2019s The Circular at Hotel Hershey may hit the sweetest spot of all. The newly re-opened dining room nods to the Prohibition era. However, its dance floor has been replaced with a theatrical, focal bar and pastry bar, where chocolate desserts are made before diners\u2019 eyes. Keep your eyes peeled for the circular table\u2014it was Milton Hershey’s go-to. From there, take in the scenery over throwback cocktails and signature Kahlua, brandy and Hershey\u2019s syrup-spiked coffee. When the check arrives, savor the sea-salt caramel that comes with\u2014it\u2019s offered in honor of Hershey’s first successful candy biz, the Lancaster Caramel Co.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
