New York SkyLounge Experience

[kyshel]

Funny--I just found out about this. So, if you're in NY--check it out and tell us what you think. We seldom get into the city, but if we're overnight in the burbs, we might take the train just to see it.

From Delta's new marketing department:

"Sky360 lounge brings in-flight experience from 30,000 feet to street level
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the next six weeks were taking our in-flight experience to the streets of Manhattan as we debut SKY360, a multidimensional lounge in the heart of New York that showcases key elements of our in-flight products and services and our worldwide destinations.

The 3,500 square-foot space is located at 101 West 57th St., at the corner of 6th Avenue, and will be open today through Nov. 10. Visitors can interact with our state-of-the-art amenities in a contemporary, high-style space.

Were excited to provide customers with an opportunity to experience all of the unique, stylish and entertaining elements of our award-winning in-flight service in the heart of New York City, said Tim Mapes, v.p.-Marketing. SKY360 is an experiential vehicle that enables us to highlight our robust array of in-flight offerings and provides a platform for visitors to try out our state-of-the-art amenities.

SKY360 includes an entertainment and screening area furnished with our all-leather coach class seats and new international BusinessElite seats which recline into a fully-flat position. Theyll be featured on our new Boeing 777 Long Range aircraft due next spring. Visitors can watch their favorite HBO programs, catch a current movie, or listen to a cool collection of music.

The lounge also will showcase The Midnight Sky Bar, serving coffee and complimentary Coca-Cola products by day and cocktails by night, including selections from Midnight Sky, our signature cocktail program created by nightlife proprietor Rande Gerber. Caf pods located throughout the space will let guests sample from our new food-for-sale menu, including creations from Chef Todd English."

Hi All,



Yes this place is very cool looking ! I've walked by it several times as it's very close to my apartment. I think it is definitely worth checking it out only if you have something to do afterwards, because it doesn't seem like a place to travel all the way to the city for. My recommendation would be catch a show (Jersey Boys was awesome!) and then head over here to check it out...
