Sitting in the lounge now. It’s a fabulous space. The windows have blinds that appear to be electronically controlled. There’s a large steel valance welded into the structure with the shade housed inside. No chains or ropes, just a couple electrical wires. They’re mounted very high up to get the entirety of the window.

To be overly picky, JFK machine is similar to other lounges. That machine is different because it pours non-stop a full dose of hot water that can't be turned off until the machine decides. How am I going to quickly warm up the big JFK mug or make a small cup of tea? Troubles, I've got troubles with the JFK machine

I completely prefer those self service machines that are commonly found in many different branded airport lounges. That is because of the short wait time and an unskilled person trying to pull a shot of espresso is a nice challenge for them but for me too often a bad cup of coffee.

There is a trick, if you push the top far right corner of the screen when it is pouring it will stop.

It was a gorgeous lounge
I was here on a fairly quiet day last Saturday - July 13.
The lounge was just beautiful and most importantly, that view of runway 16/34 is amazing. I can sit there all day long.
The food selections are fairly standard and they just have a larger station now. Well they have some bread rolls in the fridge now that will go with the soup.
Here is the mini album of the new lounge:

I was in the new N lounge on Monday morning -- very nice! I'm surprised no one has mentioned the striking similarity to the Icelandair Saga Lounge in Reykjavik. Same color scheme, very similar wood accents, fireplace and chairs.

I was at the lounge today too, pretty nice but hard to find a window seat! Great view of the airport, which I happen to like. Given enough time I'll probably go to it in the future even if I'm not arriving or departing out of N.
The buffet area made it seem like there would be a better food selection though. At least it seems like they can expand food offerings in the future pretty easily, if they decide to.
