In Terminal C, this Hudson News saves you a long backtrack
Near the Terminal C gates, Hudson News covers last-minute basics so you don’t have to walk back toward the main food and retail cluster. It sits airside in the newer terminal, so you can grab what you need after clearing security and stay close to your boarding area.
Hours here generally track Terminal C flight banks, with doors open from early-morning departures through late-evening international arrivals. Expect standard airport pricing: bottled drinks in the $3–$5 range, candy and chips around $2–$6, and neck pillows or simple headphones typically over $15. It runs on the usual Hudson News mix of grab-and-go items, not sit-down service.
You’ll find basic travel gear first: phone chargers, cables, power banks, and plug adapters that cover US outlets, plus simple eye masks and earplugs for overnight flights. The magazine and paperback rack still exists, with mainstream titles and a few bestsellers, so a 3-hour flight to JFK or ORD is covered on the reading front. Kids’ activity books and small toys help for those 2–3 hour runs to regional hubs.
Snacks lean national-brand: chips, candy bars, gum, and mints lined up along the center shelves, with canned or bottled coffee, sodas, and water in coolers against the wall. If you need something vaguely healthier, look for nut mixes and protein bars in the $3–$6 band rather than expecting fresh sandwiches. Coffee here is serviceable; skip it if you still have time to hit a proper café in Terminal C.
Tip: Stop at Hudson News before you sit down at your gate; lines spike 20–30 minutes before each major boarding wave in Terminal C.
