Counter Bites to Terminal Work
Beach Club on Seventh Avenue
At 870 7th Ave, Playa Bowls pairs a California beach-club feel with bowls built on coconut, oatmeal, or chia seed bases. Fresh berries top the acai and pitaya options, while smoothies and cold brew cover the drink side. The counter opens at 7:00 AM Monday through Saturday and 8:00 AM Sunday, staying open until 11:00 PM. Check the register price before leaving, as menu boards and totals can differ. Nearby trains make it a useful stop.
Bronx Empanada Pickup Guide
Ray's Smoothies gives Jerome Avenue commuters a compact counter for blended fruit drinks and hot empanadas. The shop is at 1320 Jerome Ave in the Bronx, with counter service for quick breakfast or lunch pickups. Large portions suit a filling stop, and regulars travel from Harlem for the pastries. Monday through Saturday hours are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Sunday service runs 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Check those shorter Sunday hours before setting out.
Airport Focus Workspaces

Entry is restricted to eligible passengers through membership, elite status, qualifying class of service, or mileage redemption. Hours begin at 4:30 AM daily.
