Fantasy of Flight - The Compass Rose Diner

The Compass Rose Diner

Adjacent to the attraction's lobby is an Art Deco themed restaurant called "The Compass Rose Diner" which features the characteristics of diners associated with airports during the 1930s and early 1940's. The restaurant features tall windows, multi-hued terrazzo floors and the curved architectural lines associated with the Art Deco period. The diner is open to the public and serves a short-order menu similar to that of lunch counters popularized during the pre-WWII era.

Famous quotes containing the words compass and/or rose:

    The statue is then beautiful when it begins to be incomprehensible, when it is passing out of criticism, and can no longer be defined by compass and measuring-wand, but demands an active imagination to go with it, and to say what it is in the act of doing.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    O friend, my bosom said,
    Through thee alone the sky is arched,
    Through thee the rose is red,
    All things through thee take nobler form,
    And look beyond the earth,
    And is the mill-round of our fate
    A sun-path in thy worth.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
