New York JFK’s TWA Hotel opening ice rink
New York JFK Airport’s TWA Hotel is offering another way to kill time during this winter’s inevitable cold weather delays.
It opens a new ice skating rink later this month dubbed the Runway Rink.
It will open seven days a week through the end of February, priced at $15 a go.
Ice skate rental is $10.
"Normally, when you hear about ice at the airport, it’s not good news," said Tyler Morse, CEO of hotel operator MCR/MORSE Development.
"But in this case, people can get excited about a frozen tarmac at JFK – we’re creating the Rockefeller Center of Queens."
The hotel opened to great fanfare earlier this year, featuring 512 rooms, meeting space and a rooftop pool with tarmac views.
The rink is located close to the Connie cocktail bar which is in a decommissioned Lockheed plane.
