JFK

Two new local dining options are now open at John F. Kennedy International’s (JFK) Terminal 4 — Villa Russo Café and Brooklyn Tea & Market. Villa Russo is a Queens-based graduate of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s (PANYNJ) specialized training program intended to increase the number of local and diverse
businesses that are part of the concessions program at JFK. The café was founded in 1954 as a pizzeria led by Italian immigrants that has evolved into one of Queens’ most respected event and catering venues. Brooklyn Tea & Market is both the first-ever tea-focused retail concept at JFK as well as the first Black-owned tea brand to
operate in any airport nationwide.
