Leaders from SSP America and JFK International Airport (JFK) Terminal 4 operator JFKIAT gathered to celebrate the opening of a new speakeasy in the terminal. Gotham Speakeasy, operated in partnership with joint venture partners S. Levy Foods and S&C Robinson, is inspired by New York’s Prohibition-era speakeasies, featuring Art Deco design; bar bites like shrimp cocktail, marinated olives, ham and cheese toasties, burrata with roasted tomatoes, and chicken caesar salad; and beverages celebrating the “golden age of the cocktail” like the Flatiron’s Bloody Fix, Southside of Tequila, Thyme to the Staten Island Ferry, Big Apple Mule, Oculus Glint, and Hell’s Kitchen Hive.
“With the opening of Gotham Speakeasy and our continued partnership with SSP, we continue to deepen T4’s connection to New York City’s spirit and story,” said JFKIAT CEO Roel Huinink. “We are excited for our passengers to experience a culinary and design-driven concept that captures the rich history, energy, and character of the city we call home.”
“Gotham Speakeasy captures the essence of New York’s cocktail culture: bold, creative, and deeply rooted in history,” added SSP America CEO George Mboya. “Not only does Gotham deliver a true taste of place, it also delivers a taste of a specific time. Travelers passing through JFK T4 now have the opportunity for a layover in the golden age of the cocktail with a menu that invites guests to slow down, connect, and enjoy a moment of classic style.”
