Developed in collaboration with Kent Hospitality Group, the new menus from New York City eateries Crown Shy and Birdee build on JetBlue’s distinctive approach to hospitality, bringing a fresh, unmistakably New York perspective to Mint that captures the creativity, energy and culinary excellence of the city’s dining scene.

“The best part of any new Mint menu is seeing it come to life onboard,” said Stephanie Evans Greene, senior vice president of marketing and brand, JetBlue. “Our teams worked closely with the talented chefs at Crown Shy and Birdee to thoughtfully adapt their dishes for the onboard experience. We’re excited for customers to enjoy menus that bring two of New York’s most exciting restaurants to their next Mint flight.”

“There are a lot of people who will get their first taste of Crown Shy and Birdee on a JetBlue flight. Whether someone is dining with us in New York City or flying around the world, the goal is always to make them feel genuinely cared for. We’re grateful for the collaboration with the JetBlue team to create dishes that stay authentic to our restaurants while translating naturally to the experience of dining in the air,” said Jassimran Singh, Executive Chef-Partner, Crown Shy and Renata Ameni, Executive Pastry Chef-Partner, Birdee.
