I've seen these prices at many airports - I'd say every airport, IIRC. It's not new and it's not local to NY. It's not only in airports, but anywhere there is a captive audience, such as sporting events, museums, etc.

Can anyone name airports where these aren't standard prices?

When I was flying out of Narita Airport, the vending machines within were the exact same prices as those on any street corner in Japan: very reasonable.

Many/most of the restaurants are ones that you could also find locations for outside the airport, and their prices are the same as outside the airport.
