New Admirals Club @ LGA!
This is so long overdue. However the article both says it will be complete in Spring 2022, but also mentions it will open Thursday (today). I'm passing through LGA next week, so I'm interested if anyone provides their experience with the new club (if it's actually open)

Curious if they moved the whiskey collection over to the new location? That was a piece of history at the old LGA AC - which I believe was the world’s first airline club when it opened in the 1930s.

"Liquor laws back in 1939 didnt allow American to sell liquor, so the airlines president at the time, C.R. Smith, kept a private whiskey collection at the club. That collection is still around, and it will move to the new club when it opens."
I guess for all the times I've used the AC at LGA I hadn't noticed or paid attention to the whiskey collection...

I arrived at the club around 915 this evening for my 10PM to DC. I was the only customer in the club for my 10 minute stay. Everything was already cleaned up but the staff proactively offered food, went in the back and got it for me, and opened up a fresh bottle of wine for a drink. The service was so courteous, the opposite of what I was expecting arriving just before close.
I didnt have much time but the lounge is open to the concourse below and seems like it will have a lot of natural light when the sun is up. Pictures below.
Main seating area near the entrance
Solo seating option
Seating overlooking the concourse
Dessert
