Our room view of the iconic TWA Flight Center designed by 1962 by Eero Saarinen (also did the St. Louis Arch)
Before dinner we get a martini at the "Connie", a Lockheed Constellation converted into a cocktail lounge.
The served drink is called "Vodka Is My Co-Pilot". Too bad they aren't served in a proper martini glass.

"Racist" is a toolword. You must know that.
Any objective examination of the effect of "them" has to lead you to the behavior and ideology that is now termed, "racist."
Refute if you can.

Our room view this morning; stylized for period drama. 
The Hotel entrance had a few classic cars scattered about.
Love the lines.
Tunnel to get to our room.
Next stop...

We were at that airport in November. I saw the old TWA plane and all but had no idea what it was. Very cool

Flight's delayed 2+ hours into Heathrow. Okoles! We're chillin' at the Soho Lounge at JFK (American's Flagship Lounge).
Very cosmopolitan.
The fireplace looks like smoe Rorschach test. What do you see?
Nicely stocked bar, had a Lagavulin 16, cut it with smoe Pellegrino.
