About this location
The Brooklyn Counter at Gate A2 runs 24 hours, matching the Starbucks it shares the gate with rather than the Hudson two gates away at A4, which closes at 11 p.m. Hudson: Manhattan Mercantile, at the same gate, doesn't have posted hours at all. Sandwiches, salads, pizza and pasta give it a fuller menu than a coffee counter, useful for anyone landing on a red-eye with no interest in pastries. This is the only Brooklyn Counter at JFK, so a middle-of-the-night arrival at Gate A2 has this and the round-the-clock Starbucks next to it as the two sure options on this run.
