So here I am, sitting in the CRC/BE lounge at JFK and see that in addition to the barely edible snacks they put out (cheese, crackers, antipasto, ravioli, etc.) they've put out little shot glasses of chocolate or strawberry pudding. I haven't seen this before, so I quickly tried one, then another. They're delicious.
This doesn't quite make up for the closing of all the CRCs earlier this year, but it sure is nice.

I think so, I get all mixed up once I'm inside the airport. Its the lounge outside gate 21 above the soon to open Wendys.
Also, Heath Ledgers ex wife is in there.

I Had the New Dessert Cup Yesterday--Also, All 4 Clubs Are Open
All 4 Clubs (the CRC across from Gate 6, the former BE lounge near Gate 10, the former BE lounge near Gate 14, and the combo CRC/BE lounge in T2) are open as CRCs. So, actually, for the rank and file CRC member on domestic travel, things got better, not worse, at JFK.
There were a variety of parfait cups available in the CRCs yesterday in JFK. I had the chocolate and cream one--delicious.

Not pudding, nor parfait: it is called mousse! Besides that, I found all the food offered in the ex-BE lounge perfectly edible, if not downright tasty. Substantially better than the standard nutella & squeezable hummus found in CRC's

Sounds like the desserts they used to have in the B/E lounges. If so, good news.

That is correct. I am one of those people who almost never recognizes celebrities unless someone points them out, but Michelle Williams beauty is unique and I think I'd recognize her.
