JFK Lounge Serves Award-Winning Swiss Cheese
11 Nov
Summary
- New York City's JFK Airport features a lounge with local art.
- The lounge offers curated cheese boards from Murray's Cheese.
- An award-winning Swiss Gruyère is a highlight offering.
The Capital One Lounge at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) provides a distinctive Big Apple experience for travelers. Opened in June 2025, the lounge showcases over 40 artworks by New York-based artists and features a Central Park-inspired dining area and a Manhattan-style bar.
A significant culinary highlight is the partnership with Murray's Cheese, offering curated charcuterie boards and cheese tastings. In July 2025, the lounge introduced Le Gruyère AOP Vorderfultigen Spezial, a small-batch Swiss Gruyère known for its delicate crunch and creamy texture. This cheese is a rare find, with only six to seven wheels produced daily.
Further enhancing the food offerings, the lounge includes a bodega-style espresso bar serving locally roasted coffee and hand-rolled bagels. Roaming trolley carts provide Italian-style shaken iced coffee and other treats. For late-night travelers, an exclusive "midnight snack" service is available around 12:30 a.m.
Access to the Capital One Lounge is complimentary for Capital One Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders. Other cardholders and non-cardholders can access the lounge for a fee, with the premium cheese experience alone making it a worthwhile stop for many.
