About this location
Five Borough Food Hall spans level 3 of Terminal 4, with stalls running from tacos and pizza to deli sandwiches, a vegan counter and a bar under one roof rather than a single kitchen. There's no second Five Borough Food Hall at JFK, so this Terminal 4 hall is the only place carrying that particular spread of Mexican, pizza and deli options together. The bar setup gives it a sit-down option that a straight grab-and-go counter wouldn't, and the range of cuisines means a group can split up and each order something different without leaving the hall.
