i actually learned something from this ad, i never knew the St. Louis arch had an 'official name'....i thought it was called the Gateway Arch...no....well not then anyway....
The first time I visited New York, we flew TWA just so we could come into this terminal. Nowadays, though, it seems so tiny and inefficient. It's based on a notion of gracious travel that just doesn't exist anymore. (If the word "gracious" was ever truly applicable to JFK.)
Eero Saarinen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eero_Saarinen) was the designer of the arch. I don't think it was actually named for him, though.
What cracks me up about this ad is that I live in Manhattan, and nobody here cooks much of anything. Kitchens are tiny and all restaurants deliver. I don't know anybody in the city who has a whole set of pots like that.
