5. Deep Blue Sushi • JFK Airport in New York
Appropriately located in Jet Blue’s Terminal 5, this is airport sushi that you don’t have to fear. According to Frommer’s, “It has the pedigree of Manhattan restaurant Buddakan behind it.” This is a full-service Japanese restaurant, with meat, fish and tempura as well. Nothing quite like a fancy meal before take-off.
6. Custom Burgers by Pat LaFrieda • LaGuardia Airport in New York
LaGuardia Airport may be one of the worst, it’s true, but in Delta’s recently redesigned Terminal D, with an entire high-end food court, you can find one of the best airport restaurants, Custom Burgers by Pat LaFrieda. There you’ll enjoy delicious, juicy, quality burgers and Ronnybrook milkshakes.
