However, the gates on each end of the lounge, which I believe are also supposed to be widebody capable, aren’t operational yet.

I finally made it out. This is my first Admirals Club visit since the pandemic started and the T1 move so my expectations might be out of whack, but I enjoyed it.
- It's nice having a new terminal, but the walk to the terminal, lounge, and gate from Airtrain is definitely farther than the old T2 walk.
- Many windows facing the runway in the lounge, though not many planes to see. Many seats of all kinds with power.
- Was pleasantly surprised by the food, both the credit card-sponsored avocado toast but also self-serve regular scrambled eggs and fruit. All I remember from the past was nut dispensers, soup, and carrot sticks. This wasn't really a full meal but it was enough that I'm not sure I'd make the trek to T3 Centurion just for food, especially now that it's not just a short ride/walk away.
- A line for the cappuccino machine.
- I like that the QR code bar menu is clear now about what drinks are free and which cost money. And it's nice having a written description of the wine beyond the verbal "white" and "red". The well whiskey was Evan Williams, which is what I drink at home, and I wasn't sure whether to be happy about that or offended.
- As others mentioned, the tree made it. The great lounge employees made it too.

But yeah, I’ve pretty much only see whatever widebodies happen to be parked on the east side of Intl A (if any) and the occasional B6 plane that uses one of the gates near security.

As for food, noticed they had a make your own taco station last time I was there in the afternoon.
