JFK’s New Terminal 6 Is Getting An Authentic Taste Of All Five Boroughs—Here Are The Iconic Local Brands Opening Inside

A cortado from For Five Coffee Roasters, a Cadillac Burger from P.J. Clarke’s, and a Brooklyn Brewery Pilsner—our dream NYC combo usually requires hopping across boroughs. But soon, you won’t have to hop on multiple trains to make it happen —so long as you’re planning on hopping on a flight instead! The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK Millennium Partners (JMP) have announced that all three iconic New York brands are headed to JFK’s new Terminal 6. 🥩 A Classic Saloon Takes Flight ------------------------------- Serving as the terminal’s flagship restaurant, just steps from all T6 gates, will be [P.J. Clarke’s](https://secretnyc.co/pj-clarkes-nyc/) —the century-old saloon famous for its lobster rolls, steak frites, and beer-battered fish and chips. Expect its signature wood paneling, vintage bar, and pure Manhattan nostalgia, now taking off at JFK. ☕️ Queens Coffee Culture Arrives at the Airport ----------------------------------------------- Across from P.J. Clarke’s, Queens-born For Five Coffee Roasters will bring a local coffeehouse vibe to Terminal 6. Founded by two friends from the borough, the café blends sleek design with serious coffee cred—serving favorites like the rich Gotham Mocha, smooth New Orleans-style Louie, and the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte. It’s a neighborhood feel miles from your typical airport grab-and-go. 🍻 Brooklyn Brewery Lands Its First Airport Bar ---------------------------------------------- Just beyond the main concourse, Brooklyn Brewery will offer a taste of Williamsburg’s craft beer legacy. The pioneering brewer—known for its Brooklyn Lager, Pilsner, and East IPA—will pour both fan favorites and small-batch releases like Fonio Rising and Playa de Brooklyn, plus non-alcoholic options. Nearly four decades after its start in a Brooklyn garage, this new outpost will toast travelers with the same creative spirit that helped spark America’s craft beer revolution. A True Taste of New York ------------------------ When Terminal 6 opens, it’ll mark the first time these brands debut their own airport locations . They’ll join more than a dozen other NYC-born eateries, including: * Alidoro (Manhattan) * BKLYN Blend (Brooklyn) * Di Fara Pizza (Brooklyn) * Fuku (Manhattan) * Hanoi House (Manhattan) “These iconic brands will elevate the passenger experience and add to the uniquely New York sense of place we are creating at JFK International Airport,” said Rick Cotton, Port Authority Executive Director. JFK’s new Terminal 6 will open in two phases, with the first six gates debuting [in 2026](https://secretnyc.co/jfk-airport-terminal-6/) and full completion expected by 2028. The sleek, modern terminal will feature 10 gates, premium lounges, NYC-inspired art, and one of JFK’s longest departure curbs for smoother drop-offs. Over a dozen domestic and international airlines will operate from T6, including Air Canada, JetBlue, Lufthansa, ANA, Cathay Pacific, Avianca, Condor Airlines, Norse Atlantic, and SWISS.
