About this location
Near Gate 8 on Concourse B, this jewelry and home-goods shop opens at 8:00 AM, three and a half hours after Shake Shack down the row starts serving at 4:30 AM, so an early departure will find food on this concourse well before this shop's shutters go up. It closes at 9:00 PM, an hour ahead of Shake Shack and iPorte, both open to 10:00 PM. JFK has only the one Alchemy, and its jewelry and home-goods stock is not something either of its Concourse B food neighbors carries.
