I just checked my records. EWR is my second most common airport with 43 visits. I've only had one bad experience there, all other experiences were neutral to positive. A few misc memories:

• I've enjoyed my time in the polaris lounge there, the waitresses in the restaurant always keep my mimoas full, plus there are usually macaroons.
• I also bumped into my skip-level manager at the Saison bar, and was able to book a last minute reservation into Classified for us which earned me some wow points w/ him.
