New JFK Terminal 5 Food Court Could Be World's Best

Big Manhattan chefs are heading to JetBlue's new Terminal 5, according to New York Magazine. As many as four well-known NYC restaurateurs could be setting up shop...

To bad I don't fly jetBlue sounds like a good plan. Honestly things like this are important, food courts in so many airports truly suck and it nearly impossible to find something healthy to eat.

The vendor, OTG, took over the food court at the LGA US Terminal about a year ago, and opened a pretty nice resturant, Cibo Bistro, much, much nicer than Figs in the Main Terminal. There very big on everything being fresh and like promoting their own brands, and don't like chains. For example they replaced Sabaro's with their own Joey's Pizza and Wok and Roll with their own Asian place. The only real brand they promote is Dunkin Donuts, and is not unusual to see 50 people in line early in the morning.

Because B6 does not have a BOB program or serve food other than their free snacks I'm sure the food court will be big on food that is easy to take onboard an airliner.

Cheers

You guys have a Cibo's also!? There is one in A-West. A big hit with the employees. They actually supplied the cakes/pastries for the Inaugural LHR flight.

The Cibo in A-West was there about 1 year before the LGA one opened, ours is a little bigger, a little more formal, and very popular. The girls at the bar often make $300-500 a night in tips.
