Arrivals Eatery
Hours
10:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Finding it
Arrivals Eatery is in Arrivals in Terminal 1 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. It sits landside, so you can reach it without a boarding pass — and you still have to clear security afterwards.
- Level
- 1
Terminal 1 has 30 places to eat and 34 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 5am.
Hours against the security queue
Arrivals Eatery opens at 10am and closes at 10pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 23 minutes around 10am.
Across the week, JFK security runs longest around 8am at a median of 33 minutes, and lightest around 2am at 10 minutes. The queue is typically building before this location opens.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's JFK wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
This sits on level 1 of Terminal 1, the arrivals floor, rather than up with the gate-side shops like Bally and Brookstone. Hours run 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, so it is not an option for the earliest international arrivals landing before opening, but it covers the bulk of the day for anyone stepping off a flight and clearing through the terminal below the departure level. Grab-and-go snacks and coffee suit someone moving straight through rather than settling in, a different pace from the AirFrance Lounge one floor up. There is only the single location under this name at JFK.
