About this location
This Dunkin sits at baggage claim on level 1 of Terminal 8, its nearest neighbor a Jimmy John's rather than the Hudson-and-newsstand cluster around Terminal 8's other locations upstairs. It's a takeaway counter positioned for arriving passengers rather than travelers already past a checkpoint. This is the one at ground level near the bags, not the one up on Concourse C near Gate 39.
