Visit #2 - upon landing in EWR at 9pm, one hour before the lounge closes.
While the lounge was about only 25% full, the buffet was mostly kept full. Also, I tried out the work booths - they are indeed tiny, and the floating desk has enough space for only your laptop and possibly 1 drink - definitely not enough room for any food if you need to use your laptop.
One of the Coke FreeStyle machines was down.
