ON AIR
On Monday, April 13, 2025, MERA was honored to participate in Employee Recognition Week for ASUR — Aeropuertos del Sureste — at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Through an exclusive pop-up experience, our brands came together to recognize the passion and commitment of those who bring airport spaces to life every day.
A Gastronomic Experience Designed to Celebrate People
The day began in the morning with a carefully curated selection of the best offerings from our brands. Bagel Boss delighted guests with a variety of bagels served with cream cheese and iced coffee. Black Star Bakery Cafe presented its signature avocado toast alongside a refreshing strawberry matcha drink. Meanwhile, BKLYN Blend offered a spinach, cherry tomato, and goat cheese frittata, paired with their Marcy Mango smoothie.
In the afternoon, the experience continued with a new round of standout selections: NAYA presented chicken shawarma over rice pilaf; MITO surprised guests with lo mein and General Tso’s chicken; Guy Fieri served his iconic mini Real Cheesy Burger; and Cobblestone rounded out the journey with pretzel sticks and cheese dip, accompanied by two mocktail options to toast the occasion.
Commitment, Creativity, and Culture: The True Protagonists
Beyond the culinary offerings, this event was a genuine celebration of the human talent that makes every operation, service, and memorable experience within the airport possible. At MERA, we believe that great results are born from passionate teams, and events like this are an opportunity to recognize that excellence.
We deeply thank ASUR and JFK Airport for the invitation, as well as all the employees who joined us to share the moment, and our brand teams for their dedication and creativity in making this pop-up a truly special experience.
