Ever since I first visited the TWA Hotel and Connie Cocktail Lounge a few years ago, I’ve been scheming how to share this experience with my sweetheart.

That occasion came with a work event next week. Lisa and I flew to New York City today and spent the night at the TWA Hotel tonight. Having covered Connie before, I didn’t bother with a lot of new photos this time around, but it was fun to see the old plane again.
