QUEENS—JFK Airport's new $743 million JetBlue terminal doesn't open until October, but New York Magazine got a look inside. We'd heard there was going to be a Muji store, but not in our wildest dreams did we imagine a Ron Jon Surf Shop. Or "JetBlue-sanctioned buskers." Or the fact that the retail section takes its inspiration from Union Square. This Saturday JetBlue hosts a trial run with test passengers; let's hope the buskers are ready. [NYM]
WILLIAMSBURG—Cooking-supply shop The Brooklyn Kitchen hosts a class on how to make ice cream starting at 6:30pm at their store at 616 Lorimer Street. For $40, Ben of the Van Leeuwen artisanal ice cream truck will elucidate the mysteries of butterfat and explain the chemistry behind milk's metamorphosis to dessert. Rumor has it that some sort of port-and-fig confection will be available, plus of course lots of ice-cream-making implements. Can't make it tonight? Tomorrow they're offering kombucha lessons.
