Today, Capital One opens its flagship lounge at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Located in Terminal 4, the 13,500-square-foot space is a tribute to New York City, with a focus on local vendors and NYC-inspired design. Details include a Manhattan-style bar, dining area inspired by Central Park, and 40 pieces of artwork by NYC artists. Visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the tarmac via large windows.

Local food and beverage options enhance the experience, such as the bodega-style espresso bar featuring espresso from Bean & Bean Coffee Roasters and bagels from Ess-a-Bagel. The bar also offers sandwiches, pastries, and small plates. At 12:30 a.m., the lounge honors the city that never sleeps with Capital One’s Daily Rituals served via trolley carts. While the lounge will be open 24/7, for the first few weeks, hours are 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Starting July 3, that changes to 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. After July 17, the lounge is open around the clock

Lounge-goers can also savor curated cheese and charcuterie boards by Manhattan-based Murray’s Cheese, which are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. A full-service bar features collaborations with NYC’s best mixologists, and also local beer and wine, including the Skyscaper IPA and TALEA Beer Club. Capital One lounges also feature the Rare Bottle Club, where visitors can buy or taste rare liquors.

Free Wi-Fi spans every corner of the lounge, along with filtered water to refill bottles. A luxury shower suite lets travelers freshen up, complete with Dyson hair dryers. Two private rooms offer a quiet space, and a caregiver’s room lets parents tend to children. 

Capital One Venture X and Venture X Business primary cardholders have unlimited lounge access, while non-members can enter for $90, provided they have a same-day boarding pass.

A motorcycle at sunset

I don't ride a motorcycle myself, but I've got plenty of friends who do, and they all say there's nothing quite like exploring the open road on two wheels. With 3.9 million miles of roadways in the U.S., picking the right routes to explore can feel overwhelming.

The best motorcycle road trips, though, have a perfect mix of open spaces, incredible views, and interesting tourist destinations to keep you entertained the whole way. Once you've got the right bike for your size, it's all about being prepared. Pack tools for every possible scenario and clothes for all kinds of weather, from sun-baked deserts and snowy mountain peaks to dreamy sandy beaches. Oh, and don't forget to stock up on snacks for those all-important pit stops. These are the best motorcycle road trips in America.
