    The food (breakfast) in the Jet Blue terminal's food court is horrible at that little buffet. Cold syrup on rubbery waffles, with powdered eggs. You could do better at a truck stop.

    Gate 14 has the best sunrise! Don't forget your baggage while you're caught in a trance.

    A zoo of an airport with poor customer service and subpar food spots. Do your best to avoid JFK as a connection if you can help it

    Delta's Terminal is under refurbishment so they moved to Terminal 4. Consequence? No food courts before security. So annoying!

    If arriving, take the customs line for US nationals. They don't mind if you're foreign & the line moves much faster than those full of peeps who couldn't figure out how to fill in the green form.
