Next to gate C73, this is United-country souvenir central
Abruzzo Mercato sits in Terminal C by gate C73, right in the middle of United’s main Newark operation, so it sees constant traffic from domestic and international flights. It’s a straight-up gifts and souvenirs shop: think New York and New Jersey merch, last‑minute presents, and a few travel extras. You’re already post-security in Terminal C, so this works as a quick stop on the walk to the C70–C74 gates.
Hours generally track United banks in C, opening early for 6:00 a.m. departures and running into the late evening push around 10:00 p.m., though staffing can tighten on slower Saturdays. Pricing runs typical airport markup: expect $15–$30 for logo shirts, $8–$15 for mugs, and $5–$10 for smaller keychains and magnets. Not a bargain spot, but fine if you need something fast before boarding.
Stock leans heavy on EWR, NYC skyline, and “I ❤️ NY” pieces, plus a few New Jersey‑themed shirts and caps that you don’t always see over in Terminal B or A. Snacks sit closer to mini-mart territory than gourmet; grab packaged candy or chips under $7 rather than hoping for fresh food. For something more substantial to eat, head toward the food options around C70–C72 instead.
One practical move: do a single sweep here before you head down to a remote C90-something gate, since souvenir options thin out as you get farther from C73.
