Narrative:

As we were beginning to pick up meal service items in coach, all aircraft interior lights failed. Called purser to advise. Purser stated same situation in all cabins, cockpit notified and working on problem. Advised by cockpit (approximately 20 mins later) generator problem. We would have to land. Could not return to O'hare (ord) because of WX conditions there. Would be making landing at jfk. Captain advised we would be landing 'fast' and 'heavy,' and that emergency ground equipment would meet at landing -- possible overheating of brakes due to landing condition of aircraft. Landed without incident. Met by emergency ground equipment and cleared to taxi to gate. Deplaned at terminal. Departed later on B767-200 aircraft.
