This stunning new airport terminal of astounding proportions finally gives New Yorkers hope—hope of getting a great meal while waiting for a flight. The JetBlue Terminal 5 experience at JFK is inspired by and epitomizes New York City’s unique culinary fabric, with nontraditional offerings and exclusive restaurants developed in partnership with a select group of New York’s most renowned chefs. Just imagine: nine full-serve restaurants, bars and cafes; a gourmet food hall with eight quick-serve eateries; gourmet markets/grab-and-go; three coffee bars; six bars/lounges; and an innovative gate area program, dubbed “re:vive” that offers table service dining! What's more, passengers in the gate area will have the opportunity to “revive” by accessing touch-screen monitors to order meals that will be delivered directly to their tables. The following properties—and over 200 different wines by the glass—await you:
• 5ive Steak: With an energetic bar scene and sidewalk seating, 5ive Steak takes a relaxed approach to the classic American Steakhouse. Designed by ICRAVE, 5ive Steak reinterprets the traditional steakhouse menu for a modern palate.
• AeroNuova, an enticing trattoria from the founders of Del Posto and developed by Chef Mark Ladner, featuring rustic Italian flavors and locally-grown products
• Brasserie La Vie, from the Balthazar and Pastis founders, offers a menu created by Chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson that features the flavors and textures of simple French country cooking.
• Deep Blue, a terrific sushi-themed restaurant
• Horizon Bakery Café, with local produce and artisanal breads
• Loft Kitchen & Bar, where comfort food meets global fusion in a SoHo-like loft space
• New York Sports Grill (NYSG): A whole new concept on the airport sports bar, with great pub-inspired meals and 48 beers on tap
• Piquillo, tapas from the former chef of Tia Pol, Alexandra Raij, in the first-ever tapas restaurant at an American airport
• Revolución, by Roberto Santibañez of the Rosa Mexicano empire
In addition, you'll find Cibo Express with over 1,000 different products and beverages, all pre-packaged and ready to take on board. There are even organic, vegan, kosher, and all-natural selections available. A gourmet food hall features eight additional fast-food eateries, and additional bars and snack shops round out the many offerings.
It's worth underscoring that award-winning OTG Management's new concept, re:vive at Terminal 5 makes this the first airport terminal in America to offer table-service dining at gate areas. Given that today's harried airport traveler is always on the search for a decent meal as well as a place to charge electronic devices, OTG has adroitly managed to combine comfortable seating options, numerous power outlets for charging electronics, and touch-screen monitors from which flyers can order top-quality meals to be delivered to the gate area. For long-time New Yorkers who have become accustomed in recent decades to an unhappy terminal experience, re:vive represents nothing less than a revolution for travelers!
