Brunch at TWA Hotel / Lockheed "Connie" + Optional Heated Pool

Brunch "Mad Men" Style
Celebrate the style of the Sixties at JFK's only on-airport hotel — We will relax at the Sunken Lounge, view the exhibits, admire the classic car collection, and brunch at the Paris Café! Enjoy the extensive New-York Historical Society curated exhibitions celebrating TWA's history as bachelor pad music (lots of Sinatra and Beatles) plays in the background. You might want to buy some 1960's air travel themed souvenirs or books from the hotel shops.

• Infinity Pool: Enjoy a unique rooftop infinity pool with views of JFK airport runways, providing a relaxing and scenic experience.
• Observation Deck: Explore the outdoor observation deck for panoramic views of the airport and planes taking off and landing.
• Vintage Aircraft: Admire a collection of vintage aircraft, including a restored Lockheed Constellation "Connie" parked outside the hotel.
• Sunken Lounge: Visit the Sunken Lounge, a restored 1962 TWA cocktail lounge, for a retro experience with mid-century modern design.
• Aviation-Themed Decor: Immerse yourself in the hotel's aviation-themed decor, including TWA memorabilia and retro furnishings that pay homage to the airline's history.
• Aviation Center: Explore the on-site TWA Museum and Aviation Center, offering a deeper insight into the history of TWA and aviation.
• Historic TWA Terminal: Experience the iconic architecture of the original TWA Flight Center designed by Eero Saarinen, a landmark from the golden age of aviation.

We will meet at the hotel lobby. If anyone needs to contact me I will be sharing my number (remind me to contact the group if I forget). The hotel offers plenty to see, with multiple exhibits set up by the New York Historical Society.
