Expert Tip. A guest who stayed at the hotel on September 10, 1988, missed his daughter whenever he traveled. Each night, he requested a glass of milk and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich so that he might honor the family tradition while away from home. The idea caught on, and from that time forward the hotel has served nightly peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cocoa with cream, fresh fruit and assorted marmalades in the lobby at 10 p.m. sharp.
