About this location
One of three Hudson stores on Terminal 8's Concourse B, this one sits on level 3 past the checkpoint, sharing the floor with O'Neals Restaurant rather than with the other two Hudson counters. No gate is attached to it, unlike Hudson Booksellers a few doors down, so it reads as a general newsstand stop rather than a gate-specific one. Travelers moving between B gates pass it without detouring off the main concourse path.
One of 14 Hudson locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 4, Terminal 7, Terminal 8).
Other options in Terminal 8
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
