Looking for a little escape this fall? Gorilla Cinema Presents has an imaginative pop-up experience on the docket Oct. 8-13.
The Pan Am Layover Lounge will take over downtown's Tokyo Kitty, inviting guests on a fake escape to a variety of the airline's most popular destinations, including Tokyo, Hawaii, Mexico City, London and even the moon. All will evoke the now-defunct airline's nostalgic golden age of flight-style of service and branding.
"Once their destination has been chosen, guests will be greeted by a Pan Am stewardess and escorted into the VIP layover lounge to await their flight. While in the lounge, guests will enjoy cocktails and flavors inspired by their destination," a press release from Gorilla Cinema Presents reads.
The intimate experience hosts four guests for a 45-minute "trip." Tickets include two cocktails, souvenir glassware and rare Pan Am collectibles.
For those who would like to skip the trip but still want some cool Pan Am swag, the gift shop will be open during the duration of the pop-up. Expect items like limited-edition prints, baggage and other merch.
Pan Am Layover Lounge, 575 Race St., Downtown, @panamlayoverlounge.
