Experience New York Terminal 6

Since 1884, P.J. Clarke’s has been a New York institution. Its timeless charm and classic American dishes resonate with P.J. Clarke’s regulars and newcomers alike. The airport P.J. Clarke’s will be the terminal’s flagship restaurant. While customers await their flights, they will be able to dine on such P.J. Clarke’s signature dishes as lobster rolls and steak frites. The P.J. Clarke’s bar, famous for its cocktails and old-school ambiance, will be the JFK bar. Customers will receive a touch of New York culinary history with a cocktail and a nostalgic atmosphere.

Five Coffee Roasters will be located next to P.J. Clarke’s and will be able to provide travelers with high-quality coffee. Five has created a dedicated coffee community in Queens and has branched out to become a sustainable coffee roaster. The terminal’s For Five will offer the Gotham Mocha and the Louie, a cold brew coffee drink with maple syrup and half and half, as well as other favorite drinks. Customers will very much appreciate the effort and skill placed into the drinks before they embark on their journey.

Another good addition to the food offerings in Terminal 6 is Brooklyn Brewery, one of the icons of the craft beer movement in America. Since 1988, the brewery has been serving craft beer, and now it brings its most popular brews, Brooklyn Lager and East IPA, to the food hall at Terminal 6. The brewery will also operate an airport bar located next to some of Terminal 6’s popular spots, which include Di Fara Pizza and Alidoro. This proximity makes it an ideal stop for travelers who enjoy a cold beer.

Integrating the New York-based brands is a step towards representing the city’s diversity and creativity. The New York and New Jersey Port Authority, along with JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), is blending local and globally recognized options for the new Terminal 6. This will highlight the unique and rich heritage of New York and allow travelers to enjoy an unforgettable experience.

Terminal 6 will have over a dozen restaurants, most focusing on what you can eat from the 5 boroughs of New York City. New brands like Di Fara Pizza from Brooklyn and Alidoro from Manhattan will join the rest of the brands, making JFK a destination for food lovers. People passing through will be exposed to all the different food and drinks that commemorate the history and evolving cuisine of New York City.

Innovative Terminal Design and World-Class Amenities

For the overall redesign, Terminal 6 will have the best for travelers with the 80-foot skylight, new lounges, and large concourses. New advanced technologies like automated baggage systems and new TSA screening tech will be integrated to help set the expectation of smooth-flowing travel. The new terminal will seamlessly connect to Terminal 5 to create a unified hub for everyone traveling to and from JFK.

In addition to new dining options, Terminal 6 will include close to 38,000 square feet of retail space. This retail space will include some high-end and local boutiques. Visitors will include new concept stores like The Green Market, which will include some of the best artisanal items from across New York. The Liquor Libraries will also include fine/expensive liquor presented in a Prohibition-era style.

Looking Ahead: A Global Gateway

Transforming Terminal 6 is part of a $19 billion plan to make the entire airport world-class. The terminal will accommodate JetBlue, Cathay Pacific, and Lufthansa, and is expected to improve the traveler experience for customers of all 3 airlines. The terminal will be the first of its kind in JFK, New York. This will make JFK attract millions of visitors every year and hopefully will improve the modern infrastructure of New York to be on par with the rest of the world. The terminal is expected to be done by 2026.

JFK is seeking to create an experience where travelers can enjoy local New York food and beverages before they even leave for the city. This new terminal aims to embody New York’s brave, creative, and unyielding essence.
