The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey – a Corporate Partner of the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub – and JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), the company selected to build and operate the new $4.2 billion Terminal 6 at JFK Airport, have announced the addition of P.J. Clarke’s, For Five Coffee Roasters and Brooklyn Brewery to the terminal’s suite of dining experiences, marking the first time any of the brands will be featured with their own airport location. All three are set to open with the new terminal in 2026.
“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 Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “There is no place like New York, and these notable businesses will help Terminal 6 reflect that unique New York energy as an exciting part of travellers’ memories of their time here.”
P.J. Clarke’s is a historic saloon-style restaurant in New York known for its classic American fare, iconic cocktails, and old-school charm. Established in 1884 in New York City, its Third Avenue and East 55th Street location has long been a favourite haunt of celebrities, journalists, and locals alike. As the terminal’s flagship restaurant, P.J. Clarke’s will be strategically located just steps away from all T6 gates.
For Five Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster based in New York, known for its high-quality, freshly roasted beans and modern café atmosphere. Founded by two childhood friends from Queens, the brand emphasises premium coffee experiences and sources its beans directly from farmers worldwide. For Five Coffee Roasters’ location will be across from PJ Clarke’s in the main concourse.
Food and beverage operator SSP America will manage PJ Clarke’s and For Five Coffee Roasters, while JFK veteran operator M&R Concessions will manage Brooklyn Brewery.
Brooklyn Brewery is a leading global independent craft brewer and a pioneer of the American craft beer revolution. Founded in 1988 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the brewery has been guided by its ethos of being “always in the making” with a portfolio that ranges from classics like Brooklyn Lager, Brooklyn Pilsner, and East IPA to newer innovations such as Fonio Rising and Playa de Brooklyn, along with a continually growing line of non-alcoholic brews. While remaining rooted in the creativity and drive of the Brooklyn community it calls home, nearly 40 years on, Brooklyn Brewery’s beers can be found in more than 30 states and 30 countries across five continents. Its collaboration with T6 marks the first time the brewery will have its own location in an airport setting. The new Brooklyn Brewery bar at T6 can be found adjacent to Di Fara Pizza and Alidoro in the T6 east food hall, which will feature an 80-foot oculus skylight and a central, dynamic hub for passengers to navigate and enjoy.
“Expanding the line-up of locally owned and nationally recognised concessions at JFK is another step toward delivering the world-class experience travellers expect,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole. “From the moment passengers arrive to the moment they depart, they’ll be able to enjoy the diverse flavours that make our region unique.”
Steve Thody, CEO, JFK Millennium Partners, added: “T6 is a celebration of all things New York City. It is exciting to have these beloved New York brands join T6’s other culinary selections, offering a true taste of New York to travellers from around the world.”
