Not sure which thread this belongs in but here goes.
Anyone have experience getting into this lounge with a same day boarding pass that arrives into JFK instead of LGA?
Heading to NYC next week for Thanksgiving with my fiancee but have to go to Europe first for work. Will probably arrive into JFK around 6pm (haven't finalized flights yet) and then head to LGA to meet her.
Obviously AMEX lounge is outside security so would be a great place to go and I will have a boarding pass from that day, it will just be an LHR - JFK boarding pass on DL instead of a DL boarding pass into LGA

Stopped in last Friday morning from 5:45 to 6:15 am. Annoyingly the hot food isn't brought out until 6:00 AM even though the lounge opens at 5:30. The food was excellent though: Pancakes, fritatta, sausage and potatoes, really good smoked salmon benedict, bread pudding and oatmeal with toppings.

While annoying, it seems to be SOP across the locations since the Houston lounge is the same way. Before 6am it's just the cold stuff like yogurt and fruit. I'm envious of the salmon eggs benedict that sounds really good. ^ Despite my many visits to the LGA Centurion I've never caught it at breakfast time.

My first time flying out of LGA as I normally take JFK (given that I live 10 min away from JFK), SW flight at 6:40am... is it worth trying to swing by the lounge for a quick breakfast? Would need time to get through security (with TSA Precheck) and will have a carry on.

I'm not that worried about sleep so much as having enough time between their 6am hot food in the lounge and getting through security to my gate in time for boarding, haha. Chances are I'll arrive at the airport at 5:30am to check in bags anyways, so I'll already be at LGA.

But if you're going to be at the airport early anyway then you certainly might as well stop by the lounge, maybe you'll get lucky and they'll put out the hot food a few minutes early.

True, I hadn't fully done the math on 6am hot food and 6:40am departure. So it might not be worth it unless you want to cut it somewhat close with heading to security while your flight is likely already boarding. And getting to the boarding process late is especially painful on Southwest of course, though that early in the morning you likely wouldn't be the only one to arrive late.
But if you're going to be at the airport early anyway then you certainly might as well stop by the lounge, maybe you'll get lucky and they'll put out the hot food a few minutes early.

LGA reconstruction
Does anyone know what will happen to this lounge with the phased reopening of the airside and landside portions of Terminal B? Will there be a new (hopefully) airside location, (also hopefully) accessible to all Terminal B flyers?

2. The Uber vouchers were a one time promotion (from back in 2015 I think?)

After the new headhouse is open, the entire existing headhouse will be razed so yes, they will have to build a new lounge... I can only assume that the replacement for all of the current landside lounges will be airside and accessible from both new concourses. (Actually it has already been confirmed that the new AC lounge will be opening as soon as the end of the year and that it will be airside.)

LGA centurion lounge issue
I was in the LGA centurion lounge today. There is some sort of problem so they did not open the kitchen. There are only a few pasteries out. There is no hot water and the bar is limited to wine or beer. I have a couple long flights coming up and im unable to eat anything here and this is during the lunch hour. Is there a way to get compensation? I rarely use centurion lounges maybe 2 to 3 times a year and when i finally go to use it there is no food.
