Newark, NJ
As part of the dramatic reimagining of Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport, the Kitchen Step Restaurant invites travelers into a vibrant garden bar experience anchored by a showstopping 18-foot tall oak tree, adorned with twinkle lights that create a soft, welcoming glow. The tree crowns the circular bar at the heart of the space, offering a stunning visual focal point that blends nature with modern hospitality design.
Flanking the space, 10-foot tall birch trees rise from custom planters alongside lush trailing greenery and sculptural planting walls, elevating the entire environment. Together, these elements transform the terminal restaurant into a refined retreat—bringing the warmth of a neighborhood bistro into one of the nation’s busiest transportation hubs.
More than just decoration, the trees and elevated greenery signal a new kind of airport dining—one that values relaxation, style, and a strong sense of place. The result is an immersive destination where design and nature come together to welcome guests with beauty, comfort, and surprise.
