About this location
Gate H-9, in South Terminal, is the only Nathan's Famous outside North Terminal — the other two locations sit there, both keeping identical 7 am-to-9:30 pm hours. This South Terminal counter opens earlier, at 6:30 am, catching H-concourse's first departures half an hour ahead of when the North Terminal branches unlock. It closes earlier too, at 8 pm, an hour and a half before the North Terminal pair shuts down. For a very early flight out of H concourse, it's the hot-dog stand actually open when the gates start boarding.
