McDonald’s, already one of the busiest restaurants at Terminal 4 according to JFKIAT, has opened a new, expanded location. Having increased in size from 1,200sq ft to 4,000sq ft, it now includes a new dining room and self-serving beverage station. It is located in the Retail Hall at the entrance to the A concourse.

Originally opened in 2009, The Palm Bar & Grille’s Terminal 4 location has recently expanded, adding an 800sq ft dining room plus a full breakfast menu.

Camden Food, a new concept for Terminal 4, offers local flavours from regional farms and food artisans, as well as organic, fair-trade and healthy options.
