About this location
Brookstone sits at Gate 3 on level 3 of Terminal 1, sharing that stretch with Hudson, Soho Bites and Starbucks rather than another gadget or gift shop. The indoor seating here is the detail that separates it from a typical newsstand stop: a traveler can sit down with a bag rather than browse standing at a counter. It's the only Brookstone in the terminal, so there's no second location at a different gate to weigh it against. Positioned this close to a coffee counter and a sandwich stop, it reads as a stop for people already camped near Gate 3 rather than a walk-up destination.
