Unusual Times, Terminal B
If you happen to arrive at EWR for a 7:55am flight, it’s worth noting that Priority Pass lounge access starts at 8am sharp.
So, if you want to sit down and eat food off a table, that leaves you with one option: the Unusual Times.
My advice? Read the reviews first. That will help you establish the right mindset heading in. (One reviewer, named Juan Felipe Rincon, described the Times simply as “a nightmare”.)
Once your expectations have been sufficiently lowered, you’re ready to dive in.
There are no frills at the Times. No omelette station (also no omelettes). No lunch before 11am. No metal silverware. No knives at all (metal, plastic or otherwise). The continental breakfast costs $18 for low fat yogurt and a muffin.
But, especially when compared to the continental breakfast, the $15.50 bacon egg and cheese is a relatively good value. And the coffee - despite it’s burnt aroma - really hit the spot.
So, when deciding between going hungry before a 7 hour international flight or braving the (unusual) Times, you can be reasonably confident you’re making the right choice.
There are no certainties in this life. But, in these strange times, at least there’s one restaurant at Newark Airport Terminal B you can count on. Even if it is a little bit… unusual.
And… if we’re really being honest with ourselves... who isn’t a little bit unusual?
