There are no private events in the Sunken Lounge at this time.
History has been made in the Sunken Lounge: Crowds gathered there to watch the Beatles arrive in the United States in 1965! Today, windows look out on our 1958 “Connie” plane while overhead a split flap departures board by Solari di Udine displays messages. Recline on the upholstered benches and admire the authentic white penny tile and original Chili Pepper Red carpet.
The menu is stocked with 1960s cocktail favorites, including the Vodka is My Co-Pilot (our take on a martini). Also in the mix: Original signature cocktails like the Jet Fuel, with cucumber mint vodka, Aperol and muddled watermelon. Guests can also order from an expansive collection of spirits, carefully-curated wines and beers, all complemented by elevated bar fare.
In a nod to our past, The Sunken Lounge's swizzle sticks are modeled after TWA’s original sets highlighting its travel destinations (Africa, Greece, England) and its own fleet (propellers!).
Celebrated chef Jean-Georges helms the historic restaurant.
