JFK Terminal 8 food

Recommended Posts

We're going to be flying to Europe from JFK Airport on American Airlines, next week. According to the information I've been given, our flight will leave from Terminal 8. What's going to be our best bet for a decent meal? We'd like to be able to get a reasonable late lunch/early dinner, so that we can then get on the airplane and fall asleep for as long as possible, and thus hit the ground running.

Leaving the secured area is out of the question.

Thanks,

MelissaH

eat before you get to the airport

Unfortunately, that's not possible, as we'll be arriving on a connecting flight.

http://vinovolo.com/ looks klike the best bet from the terminal guide - don't think it had opened last time i flew out of JFK and we ended up in the sports bar drinking beer

I ended up in the Newark branch of this establishment not long ago. Nothing to write home about, necessarily, but head and shoulders above normal airport "cuisine." Decent charcuterie, very drinkable wine, as I recall.

I'm on the pavement

Thinking about the government.

Don't eat the pizza in Terminal 8.

This particular location had among the most dismal of airport food offerings I've seen anywhere. Terminal 3 was at least slightly better, as I discovered on the way home.

Another reason to hate flying through JFK, I guess.
