I took a look at that post and It looks like those are just pics of the LHR lounge. Main giveaway is the long hallway, the JFK lounge never had a space like that. Also the straight on view of the A380, JFK lounge only offered an angle view.
Looks like it was someone just trying to show off, so still no confirmation if the lounge is open.

I can confirm that the JFK lounge is still closed. When asked about an opening date, the agent said, "soon".

One can buy a lot of bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches at Shake Shack for $55!

Yes, I hate that for the 11:20am departure “shake shack” doesn’t serve burgers yet.

What I will usually do with my $55 certificate, since I rarely ever use the full value, is treat others around me to a free meal since EK is paying for it.

Does anyone know when the lounge will reopen? I am suppose to be flying out of Kennedy May 1st.

I’m also flying out of JFK early May (10th) so also interested to know. To me, it’s not about the $$$$, it’s all about the sanctuary of the lounge!

Re-opening will be early-middle May

According to EK’s twitter team, the JFK lounge will be re-opening May 2nd, a day after my departure. Just my luck...

Guess I'll have to make do with a Shake Shack egg sandwich. I depart April 17 at 11:20. Is there another restaurant option in the morning??

Have the steak & eggs at The Palm T4. You won't be sorry if you like their steaks in the regular sit down restaurant. I prefer my eggs scrambled and runny ala European style, and it was amazing with the steak. All other 55$ choices in the terminal were not very appealing to me last week as I was on the same flight on the 7th.

Safe travels next week, and enjoy the DOM P2.:p

I second the steak and eggs being a decent option, or any option at the Palm T4. The only thing I don’t like about the steak and eggs option is its heavy, and can ruin your appetite for the really good food on board the flight. Don’t forget to pay for your neighbors dish too if you don’t use up the entire voucher value.

Has the feel/design of LAX with the modern tile, etc. but definitely not LAX.

ok. So I can confirm the lounge is still closed. I was given a $55 meal voucher (F). And nobody seems to know when it’s due to re-open. Not happy!

Agree the Palm is the best option. Try the eggs benedict!
