Man -- I thought synzero was being a little dramatic re: restaurants at JFK T5, but having flown out of there for the first time in ages, I accept the point. Had trouble finding anything we wanted to eat, and the experience in the open space with the tables is terrible. We didn't really want a full service meal, but it didn't look like those restaurants were well insulated from the noise of that central court, either.

They could really use some pergolas or something to absorb sound in that central area as you're eating.
