About this location
JFK Life Market sits at Gate 510 on Terminal 5's level 3, past the middle of the terminal's gate numbering and beyond the bakery counters clustered near the lower-numbered gates. It sells grab-and-go snacks rather than made-to-order food, a faster option for travelers boarding from gates in the 510 range who don't want to backtrack to Aunt Butchie's or Bryant Park Market.
