YPT-NYC x TCNYC October happy hour
When: Thursday, October 12 (6:00-9:00pm)
Where: The Brazen Head, 228 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Join us for a special happy hour, in partnership with TransportationCamp NYC. All are welcome, including non-TCNYC attendees.
Although participation in TCNYC is not required, do check out the agenda and consider signing up! As an “unconference” for mobility enthusiasts, it’s not one to be missed. And if you’re attending, take advantage of this opportunity to hear about session proposals and meet other TCNYC participants in a casual setting. We’ll also have an interactive networking game with fun prizes to be won!
Exclusive perk: Each YPT-NYC member will receive one complimentary drink (while supplies last).
JFK Terminal 5 tour & TWA Hotel happy hour

Where: Terminal 5, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Queens, NY 11430
How: Register on Eventbrite. As a courtesy to others, please only sign up if you’re sure you can make it.
Hot on the heels of our Airport Planning 101 talk, join us for an exclusive tour of JetBlue’s Terminal 5 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Here, we’ll learn how the New York-based airline transports millions of travelers every year, with a glimpse into its operation and construction of the new Terminal 6.
Our visit to JetBlue’s home will be followed by a short guided tour of the adjacent TWA Hotel, a restored 1962 terminal designed by Eero Saarinen. We’ll conclude the afternoon with a happy hour in the Sunken Lounge.
Heads up: This tour is capped at 18 people and is limited to members only. Your full name, gender and DOB (as per your government ID) are required in advance to access secure areas.
