About this location
Brooklyn Deli shares Gate B34 with Hunt & Fish Club, opening an hour earlier at 5:00 AM while Hunt & Fish doesn't start service until 6:00 AM. Both close at 10:00 PM, the same closing time as Gotham Speakeasy down at B36. Eataly, two gates away at B32, stays open an hour past that, until 11:00 PM. Brooklyn Deli is the only location of its name at JFK, and its deli case of sandwiches gives the first bank of B34 departures something to grab before the gate's other kitchen even opens.
