John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Terminal 6 developer JFK Millennium Partners has awarded SSP America a new contract to open four dining concepts at the facility. Concepts slated to open at T6 include Queens-based For Five Coffee; an outpost of historic gastropub P.J. Clarke’s; an airport location of the Lower East Side’s Gotham Burger Social Club; as well as a location of proprietary SSP wine bar and restaurant Le Grand Comptoir. For Five Coffee and P.J. Clarke’s are scheduled to open later this year while Gotham Burger Social Club and Le Grand Comptoir will open during the terminal’s second phase of construction, which is expected to be completed in 2028.
“Our vision for T6 is to create a welcoming dining experience that captures the essence of New York,” said JFK Millennium Partners CEO Steve Thody. “SSP America shares that vision, bringing together exceptional local flavors, iconic brands, and hospitality that will resonate with travelers from around the world.”
“Terminal 6 represents the future of air travel—digitally advanced, sustainably built, and deeply rooted in the culture of New York,” added SSP America chief development officer Paul Loupakos. “Being part of this landmark development is a tremendous honor for SSP America. As food travel experts, we’re proud to contribute to a terminal that will redefine the passenger experience, bringing our taste of place philosophy to life with concepts that reflect the soul of the city. This is the best part of the journey, and we’re thrilled to help shape it.”
