Numerous new choices for shopping and dining at Newark Liberty International and John F. Kennedy International make airport layovers convenient or are simply delicious.

At JFK’s Terminal 4, the Seafood Bar is open in the West Retail Hall. The menu includes a variety of seafood from shrimp cocktail to sushi, caviar, and Balik smoked salmon.
