Reverse commute so maybe you'll get Place to sit in path? Food options not that many in exchange place, costly food, lot of folks with family work in JC vs NYC.

Get used to the Newport Mall food court.

If you want Chipotle or Just Salad, order ahead and pick up rather than wait in line.

In house caf is decent though the view leaves things to be desired.
