Music Playlist at EWR Terminal B Landside Food Court

[+ azdr0710]

Sitting here grabbing a bite and very impressed with the wide variety of music! From golden oldies to badass modern stuff. Depeche Mode, Streisand (Evergreen!!), Matt Dusk, Angie Stone, and more. Great change from the usual!!  

If you're ever in the area.......

EWR is to be avoided like the plague of an airport it is. 

But... I'm glad the music is solid.

*Makes mental note.

I'd make an exception for SQ 21/22. Possibly others.

Now, back to your scheduled programming.

You'd have to settle for J, there's only J and premium economy on those EWR flights and on the SIN-JFK non-stops. You'd have to take the SIN-FRA-JFK A380 service to get F into NYC on SQ.

well, they try.....

but.....

in the couple hours I was there, three eardrum-bursting alarms went off and the AirTrain required a change of trains enroute (!)....

however, the TSA ID checker was not harried, security was unusually speedy.....and that playlist!.......

I was in EWR United Terminal in June.   It looked very attractive.  However, I was looking to buy a snack and drink while waiting for my flight.  I only had cash.  Not one restaurant or vending machine accepted cash in the entire terminal!

Thankfully, I have not encountered this problem at other airports.

Since COVID, cash is not king in many retail spaces.

It makes sense.

Yes and no. 

I don’t know of one COVID case that was ever linked to an exchange of cash.

"Touch-less transactions"  are a "cure" in search of a disease.

'It makes sense' in that it's an understandable consequence of Covid, given that at first fomites such as cash were seen as being vectors of the virus, and that because of that later disproven hypothesis the use of cash declined or was replaced completely by contactless forms of payment. Some places just didn't go back to accepting cash. Still, it's somewhat surprising that every outlet in the terminal went that way.
