That is right. They are in the Jet Blue terminal at JFK (may be opening another there as well), but that isn't exactly local to us city dwellers.

The shiners that work a BNelson's are actually quite good. I had a couple of hours on a Saturday when I was last in New York and the lady there spent almost half an hour mirror shining my zug grain Trickers to perfection. I was shocked by how amazing the shine was on the impossible-to-shine country leather.
