this nails it. JFK was always relaxed enough to feel nice, the food was not overly special but ok. Polaris on the other hand was always I was there crowded, so I decided to skip it. Now with the LH lounge closed, I may reconsider. But it‘s also a factor that might push me to JFK, at least for my next NYC visit, which will likely be in March.
