American Express to open new airport lounge concept Sidecar inspired by a speakeasy
American Express is expanding its culinary and cocktail offerings at airports, plus creating a first-of-its-kind new concept that solves the problem of limited-time lounge access before a flight. The demand for pre-flight airport lounge access has continually exploded in popularity post-pandemic, and with an influx of overcrowding and limitations to control the chaos, American Express is rolling out a new concept that could solve that for cardholders on a time crunch hoping to utilize such perks. 1st look at chef José Andrés' new restaurant concept made for travelers What to know about new airport lounge concept Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge The new speakeasy-inspired airport lounge concept announced by American Express on Tuesday is designed for eligible Card Members who are seeking a quick bite or drink before they board their flight. "Many of our visitors spend less than an hour in our Lounges, and we've created Sidecar specifically for them," said Audrey Hendley, president of American Express Travel. "The first Centurion Lounge opened in Las Vegas in 2013, so it's fitting that we're launching this new lounge concept at LAS as we continue to innovate to meet our Card Members' needs." The new intimate space is set to open in 2026 and will make American Express the only credit card issuer with two lounges at LAS. Access will be complimentary for members who currently have access to The Centurion Lounge Network, including Platinum Card Members. Guests will be able to utilize Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge within 90 minutes before their departure flight. What's on the new Culinary Collective menus by The Centurion Lounge Amex also announced a new lineup of talent, adding James Beard Award-winning expertise to the network of airport lounge menus to create The Culinary Collective, which includes chef Mashama Bailey from The Grey in Savannah; Sarah Grueneberg, chef-partner of Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio in Chicago; Kwame Onwuachi of Tatiana fame in New York and Dōgon in Washington, D.C.; and Mike Solomonov from the highly celebrated Zahav in Philadelphia. Harrison Ginsberg, master mixologist and renowned bar director of acclaimed New York City cocktail bar Overstory, adds his expertise behind the bar with craft cocktails inspired by all four chefs' dishes coming to the in-lounge menus starting later this month. "With help from our Resy chef partners, we've brought together a group of some of the most exciting culinary minds in America to create incredible menus, available all in one place for the first time ever," Hendley said. "You'd be lucky to make it to each of their celebrated restaurants across the country, but now visitors to our Centurion Lounges will be able sample dishes created by these chefs." Onwuachi's dishes will include Suya Short Ribs and Tamarind Ice Box Cake. Examples of dishes from Bailey include gluten-friendly Paprika Chicken as well as a torched Espresso Crème Brûlée. Dishes diners can potentially expect from Solomonov include Pomegranate Glazed Salmon topped with Tabbouleh, as well as Charred Broccolini with Kashkaval Cheese and Lemon. Grueneberg's dishes will include vegan Lemony Orzo with Artichokes and Dill, as well as a Grilled Corn and Cucumber Salad with Avocado and Cilantro Salsa Verde. Ginsberg's elevated and imaginative cocktails will include The Centurion, a vodka-based drink with yuzu, soda and lime that has a touch of sweetness, plus a non-alcoholic option, The Green Tea Tonic, made with green tea, lemon, grapefruit and a botanical non-alcoholic spirit. The dishes from the Culinary Collective will make up nearly half of the menu at the U.S. lounges and will rotate seasonally and vary by lounge. Solve the daily Crossword

Ocean views and a taste of the sea: José Andrés opens a new restaurant on Miami Beach
A new restaurant and a new cocktail concept from Chef José Andrés' hospitality group are now open at a new Miami Beach hotel. The Andaz Miami Beach from the Hyatt Lifestyle Group, formerly The Confidante Hotel, opened earlier this month and is now home to the Mediterranean restaurant Aguasal (named for agua salada, which is Spanish for saltwater) and Bar Centro, an all-day spot for small bites and drinks. Fittingly, Aguasal is inspired by the sea, according to Andrés, who says the restaurant 'brings with it the flavors of both the Mediterranean coast and Florida's abundant produce.' Aguasal, which serves breakfast and dinner, is located on the ground floor of the hotel, with indoor and outdoor dining and oceanfront views. Expect teak and woven furniture, stone floors, and lush tropical greenery. Breakfast is what you might expect: eggs, pancakes and French toast, while the dinner menu leans to seafood. Highlights include chilled seafood like kumamoto oysters with harissa mignonette and Meyer lemon, stone crab and pink gulf shrimp as well as dishes like mussels Saganaki with feta cheese, chives and lemon. There's also a fried whole snapper and cobia with lemon-butter sauce, dill, braised fennel and trout roe. You'll also find such vegetable dishes as grilled leeks with stracciatella, sumac, hazelnuts and brown butter breadcrumbs and roasted cauliflower with tahini, sesame seeds, ground coriander, pomegranate and puffed quinoa. Meat lovers can try the hanger steak with a marash rub, harissa roasted carrots and potatoes. On the upper lobby level, Bar Centro features ocean views and is all about the cocktails like the house specialty, a Key lime pie daiquiri, although you can order small bites like croquetas, a new take on a classic Caesar salad or four-cheese grilled cheese. There's caviar service as well. Aguasal and Bar Centro won't be the only dining concepts at the Andaz. In 2026, The Bazaar by José Andrés will open at the hotel, drawing on Andrés' Spanish heritage and featuring some of his most popular signature dishes. The hospitality group also operates Zaytina, a Mediterranean restaurant at the Ritz Carlton, South Beach. The Andaz Miami Beach is the first hotel in Florida for the brand and sprawls across 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. It's a Michelin Guide-recommended hotel. Amar Lalvani, president and creative director of Hyatt's Lifestyle Group, said the Andaz and the José Andrés group were a perfect match. 'Our close collaboration with José and his talented team will bring some very special experiences to the Andaz Miami Beach,' he said. 'The combination of the freshest local ingredients and bold flavors with global influences aligns perfectly with what Andaz is all about.' Aguasal Where: Andaz Miami Beach, 4041 Collins Ave, Miami Beach Hours: 7-11 a.m. breakfast daily; dinner 6-10 p.m. Monday-Friday, 6-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday. Bar Centro Hours: Noon-10 noon-11 p.m. Friday Saturday More information: @aguasalmiamibeach or @barcentrobyjose
