We're still waiting for our sneak preview of JetBlue's new Terminal 5 at JFK, but a video tour just released by the restaurant group handling all the dining has us salivating.
Top on our list of must-visits is the cavern-like Piquillo, a tapas spot with a massive bar and a great looking design. From the looks of things, we wouldn't mind popping into Aeronuova or JFK Steak nearby, either. The most outlandish design is at Deep Blue Sushi, pictured, which reminds us a bit of that overwrought fusion place from the beginning of "Garden State."
We can't embed the video, but you can find it here.

At the end of last month, we heard about a few of the new offerings coming to JetBlue's new Terminal 5 at JFK. (The place some lucky frequent fliers will be testing on August 23!)
But while there were specifics on a couple places, further details on the dining options were fuzzy. That is, until we were handed a JetBlue-authored list of every restaurant, bar and to-go place that would populate the terminal when it opens later this fall.
After the jump, decide what you'll be ordering via the innovative touch-screen system planned for JetBlue's new gates.

Last we heard from JetBlue, there wasn't much new happening at the still-under-contruction T5 at JFK. But The New York Times dug up some juicy new details on the innovative new dining and shopping options coming to the airport's newest addition this fall.
The 26-gate terminal will have dining bars, pictured, scattered throughout, with plug ins for your electronics and touch-screen ordering a la Virgin America's RED. Tap in an order, and it's delivered to you a few minutes later. In the heart of T5, a 10,000-square-foot food court will have a Whole Foods-style buffet of hot and cold items, perfect for grabbing on the run.
Fancier options include a "rustic Italian trattoria," a sushi spot, a brasserie, a tapas joint and a Mexican place, all of which count chefs from popular NYC restaurants as consultants.
On the retail side, be on the lookout for a Muji outpost to compliment two other locations in New York. There will also be a an outlet for WFAN, a local sports radio station, and 17 other shops.
