For a cozier environment, there are the warm and rich tones of Forty Two, the on-site and full service restaurant for the Clinton Center. Located on the northern edge of the facility, Forty Two and its 2,500 square feet offers guests sweeping views of the Arkansas River and the 1899 Rock Island rail-road bridge, one of the inspirations for the bridge-like building.
