Near the Terminal 1 security exit, this is your quick grab stop
Hudson News in Terminal 1 sits just past the main security area, so you hit it right after you clear the checkpoint for gates 1–9. It’s the standard airport mix of magazines, books, drinks, candy, and last‑minute travel gear. Think bottled water and chips on one side, phone cables and neck pillows on the other.
Hours typically track the Terminal 1 flight bank, opening early for the 5–6 a.m. departures and staying open through the last evening flights after 9 p.m. Prices run higher than street level: expect around $3–4 for bottled drinks and $2–3 for basic snacks. It’s still cheaper than buying food on most airlines, and faster than waiting in a sit‑down spot when your boarding time is under 30 minutes.
Stock is heavy on grab‑and‑go basics: single‑serve painkillers, travel‑size toiletries, charging cables, and simple electronics like earbuds under $20. The print rack usually carries The Washington Post, USA Today, and at least a few national magazines, useful if your flight is under two hours and you don’t want to fuss with Wi‑Fi. Expect standard candy and chips brands rather than anything local or unusual.
There isn’t much seating around this Hudson News, so plan on shopping quickly and heading to your gate to eat or repack. Lines spike right after TSA opens and again around the 7–8 a.m. bank, so if your boarding pass shows Group 1–3, stop here immediately after security instead of “later” on the way to the gate.
