Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

Amy Schumer celebrated what she called her “second 40th birthday” – her 41st- at a place we didn’t know existed- the TWA Hotel. The TWA hotel opened in the fabulous old Pan Am airline building at JFK that opened in 1962- designed by Eero Saarinen. We were lucky to have traveled on Pan Am more than once and the building’s futuristic feeling was always thrilling. It was the first time we remember feeling architectural excitement. SO glad the building was saved when it became too small for modern planes. The hotel opened before the pandemic and is lucky to still be around. All furnishings are midcentury modern and a vintage plane has been turned into a cocktail bar. All this and it’s dog-friendly! Amy and friends had a great time exploring and partying all weekend.
