About this location
The Terminal 1 Fuelrod at Gate 4 sits one gate down from the version at Gate 3, this time next to Hudson News, Midtown Bistro and New York Gifts rather than a coffee counter. It's the middle of three Fuelrod stations strung along the same terminal, so a traveler working through the gate row passes all three within a few hundred feet rather than hunting for the nearest one. The gifts and newsstand cluster around it means this location doubles as the last spot to charge a phone before browsing rather than sitting near a food option.
