OTG Expands Culinary Horizons with New Openings at JFK's Terminal 5

In a significant move to enhance the airport dining experience, OTG, a renowned hospitality group, has just unveiled three exciting new dining options at John F. Kennedy International Airport, specifically in Terminal 5. The latest additions include Mozz Lab, the beloved Italian restaurant Serafina, and the iconic coffeehouse Starbucks. This initiative is part of OTG's ongoing investment to bring authentic New York flavors to travelers passing through the airport.

A Taste of New York at Terminal 5

The introduction of Mozz Lab allows travelers to indulge in authentic Italian cheese and specialty delicacies. Inspired by traditional cheesemaking methods, this Brooklyn-based shop offers a range of options including housemade mozzarella, various cheeses, and a selection of hot and cold paninis crafted with fresh ingredients. Passengers can now savor the essence of Italian flavors while they prepare for their journeys.

Expecting a delightful experience? Serafina has brought its signature New York dining ambiance to Terminal 5. Founded in 1995, Serafina has earned a stellar reputation for its delectable pizzas, rich pastas, and mouthwatering desserts made with high-quality ingredients sourced from Italy. With a stylish interior designed by the acclaimed David Rockwell, Serafina presents a quick yet exquisite dining experience for travelers, allowing them to either enjoy a sit-down meal or grab something to go before their flight.

Starbucks, a familiar staple for many, rounds out the trio of new openings, offering a convenient stop for handcrafted beverages and an assortment of light snacks. This quick-service option enables travelers to mobile order their favorite coffees or snacks, making it easier to enjoy a quick caffeine boost while navigating the terminal.

Collaboration for a Transformed Terminal

The successful launch of these new dining options can be attributed to OTG's strong partnership with JetBlue and Fraport USA Inc. Together, they’ve made strides to transform Terminal 5 into a vibrant dining destination that embodies New York's culinary spirit. This is part of a larger ongoing initiative by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, JetBlue, and Fraport USA, aiming to revamp the airport experience through new concessions that reflect the local culture.
