The old Pearl Brewery has received a massive face-lift as part of the new Pearl development north of downtown, including shops, cafes and restaurants. The stylish Hotel Emma has taken over the brewery site and now anchors the neighborhood. The Culinary Institute of America also has a campus on the grounds.
