Summary
- LaGuardia Airport ranked number one for dining by Food & Wine.
- JFK International Airport secured the ninth position in the rankings.
- LGA's Terminal B boasts over 35 diverse dining and retail establishments.
New York City airports, LaGuardia (LGA) and John F. Kennedy (JFK) International, have been lauded for their culinary offerings by Food & Wine. LGA secured the premier spot in the publication's Global Tastemakers Awards, a significant achievement following its $8 billion renovation. The airport's Terminal B, featuring over 35 dining options, has been particularly praised for its high-quality cuisine and modern ambiance. Notable establishments include Capital One Landing, Shake Shack, and Talde Noodle Bar, with diners frequently commending the overall experience.
JFK, while ranking ninth, also offers notable dining experiences, especially in Terminal 5 with eateries like H&H Bagels and Terminal 4's Delta One Lounge. However, JFK is currently in the midst of a massive $19 billion overhaul, anticipated to conclude in the late 2020s. This extensive renovation aims to introduce new dining venues and enhance overall passenger experience, potentially elevating its future ranking in airport dining.
Travelers have expressed strong positive feedback regarding the food at both airports. Google reviews highlight exceptional meals and quality ingredients, particularly at Shake Shack in JFK's Terminal 8. The transformation of LGA is seen as one of the most remarkable in U.S. aviation history, earning it accolades as the best U.S. airport by Forbes Travel Guide for 2024 and 2025.
