The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, along with American Airlines and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) Airports, have just announced a lineup of 21 hot new brands to open at JFK’s Terminal 8, continuing efforts to transform one of the busiest transportation hubs in America to a world-renowned airport and global gateway. One of the brands includes the beloved Italian marketplace, Eataly, marking the first U.S. airport location to date.

Customers will be able to experience the beautiful culture and delicious tastes of Italy, regardless of their final destination. The first U.S. airport Eataly will include a full-service restaurant, adjacent to a wine bar that will offer antipasti, pasta and Neapolitan pizza.
