ARCHITECTURE | Pan-American’s Worldport to be demolished

Pan American World Airways' Worldport at Idlewild Airport, later John F. Kennedy International Airport, shortly after its completion in the early 1960s. Earlier this month, Delta Airlines announced it would decamp from Terminal 3 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The terminal, criticized for being cramped and crowded, was built as the Worldport by Pan American Airways in 1960. A triumph of mid-century architectural design, the building can be credited to Ives, Turano & Gardner Associated Architects and Walter Prokosch of Tippets-Abbett-McCarthy-Stratton. Notable for its flying-saucer appearance, the terminal also featured a series of sculptures by Milton Hebald that captured the signs of ...

COCKTAILS | Homemade limoncello is easily done

Maxwell Eaton III, a frequent ejforbes.com contributor, set out to make his own limoncello. He succeeded. Maxwell Eaton III ejforbes.com Contributing Writer A few months back, my sober half came home from work with two canvas bags full of lemons that a coworker had unloaded on the office. This is a common occurrence when it comes to grapefruit as the moldy oldies of Tucson have a penchant for the hardy citrus trees, an unbound willingness to water the hell out of them, but apparently no taste for the fruit as from one neighbor to another they're about as welcomed as a bag of ...

The most beautiful sight in baseball, according to ejforbes Contributing Writer Leif Skodnick, is of Wrigley Field, seen here during a recent Cubs-Brewers game. Leif Skodnick ejforbes.com Contributing Writer “By the shores of old Lake Michigan, where the hawk wind blows so cold…” — Steve Goodman, A Dying Cub Fans’ Last Request I recently spent the better part of a week in Chicago, and finally got to visit Wrigley Field, a place from which I have watched countless games on television. Just a few blocks after the ‘L’ lurches around a curve just past the Sheridan stop on the Red Line headed south, I caught ...

COCKTAILS | Take flight with the Aviation

The Aviation cocktail. Gin continues to be my muse — it worked for Cheever, too, as ejforbes.com contributor Maxell Eaton III recently pointed out — and I've been itching to try the Aviation. A classic that's not much served in the mainstream, the Aviation is allegedly the creation of Hugo Ensslin, a bartender at New York's late Hotel Wallick. The original recipe called for the addition of crème de violette, but a later, 1930 offering from Henry Craddock's Savoy Cocktail Book omits it. I opted for Craddock's version and both Mrs. F. and I were pleased with the results. The Aviation takes ...
