Chef Jason Hopkins stands in the Tower Event Center atop 333 Glen St. in Glens Falls, a new space for special events like weddings and banquets that also serves brunch on Sundays\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY LIZ WITBECK<\/p>\n

Guests at the Tower Event Center
\ncan stare out the windows, marveling at
\nthe scenic Adirondacks. Located on the
\nninth floor of the downtown building, the
\ncenter provides panoramic views of the
\nlandscape.<\/p>\n

Bob Lefebvre was awed by the beauty
\nthe space provided and knew he had to
\nconvert it into something the public could
\nenjoy. He opened the space in the summer
\nas Tower Event Center at 333 Glen St. in
\nGlens Falls.<\/p>\n

Currently, the center offers a weekly
\nSunday brunch. Diners can choose from
\nclassic American breakfast foods like pancakes,
\nomelets, bagels, bacon and sausage,
\nsalads and a carving station with turkey
\nand ham. There are weekly specials, a
\nchildren’s buffet and desserts.
\nLefebvre said he did not intend for the
\nfacility to be a traditional restaurant. Instead,
\nhe uses the brunch as a marketing
\ntool. He believes if people come in and see
\nthe spectacular views, they will tell others
\nand come back again.<\/p>\n

He said the facility has seen a tremendous
\namount of success since its opening.
\n“It was way more successful than I anticipated,”
\nsaid Lefebvre.<\/p>\n

The facility is mainly used for special
\nevents. Among the events held thus far
\nwas a 50th class reunion from Glens Falls
\nHigh School. Upcoming events include the
\nkickoff of the Adirondack Flames season
\nand corporate holiday parties.<\/p>\n

The space can accommodate up to 220 people. There is room for dancing and a
\nbuffet line. The facility has a bar and offers
\nmixed drinks and beer. There is free
\nparking available, as well as valet parking.<\/p>\n

Tower Event Center is a two block walk
\nto the Glens Falls Civic Center. Lefebvre
\nsaid it is perfect for people who want to
\neat, grab a drink, park their car, and then
\nwalk to an event at the center.<\/p>\n

Lefebvre owns two other companies in
\nthe building – Total Benefit Management,
\na human resources company, and Trucking
\nSupport Services, a truck leasing company.
\n“I needed something new. I decided to
\nget into the restaurant business,” said
\nLefebvre. “It keeps you young.”<\/p>\n

Lefebvre said he believes in thinking
\noutside the box. He opened Tower Caf\u00c3\u00a9
\nin March on the second floor of the same
\nbuilding. The Tower Caf\u00c3\u00a9 offers breakfast
\nand lunch on a daily basis, including sandwiches,
\nsalads, and burgers.<\/p>\n

Next month the restaurant will start
\nTower2Go. Customers can order a meal
\nin the morning, and pick it up in the evening
\nto take home. With more than 700
\nemployees in the building, Lefebvre said
\nthe concept will be a hit with busy families
\nwho want quality, convenient food.<\/p>\n

Tower Cafe is open Monday-Friday
\nfrom 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It can be reached at
\n792-2233.<\/p>\n

The event center is open for brunch on
\nSundays, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more
\ninformation, visit www.thetowercafe.com.
\nFor reservations and event inquiries call
\n798-2114.<\/p>\n
