Coffee Talk
November 24, 2026
8:30 am - 9:30 am
On Tuesday, November 24, Coffee Talk is very pleased to welcome back our favorite St. Louis restaurant expert, local historian, and nationally recognized Dr. Harley Hammerman. For his fifth visit, Harley will talk about his favorite Lost Dates spots (with his wife, Marlene) during the ‘70s, ‘80s and ’90s. From destinations like the Tenderloin Room to neighborhood spots like Cyrano’s and Luigis, this presentation lovingly revisits places where countless first dates, anniversaries, and lifelong memories were made — helping to shape St. Louis’ social scene for generations.
Through vintage photographs, stories, and menus, Harley will bring to life the places of a bygone era where romance, food, and culture came together. Even if you did not grow up in St. Louis, you will appreciate this enticing look at St. Louis history delivered by a master who was recently featured by People Magazine.
