Mention eating at the airport and people grimace. it usually was stale cofee and and handful of some nibbles. This is changing. Airport eating has become airport dining.food has gotten better and tastier. They're flying high with their menus.
Regular Priya Krishna wrote about this in yesterday's New York Times Wednesday Food section.fr years most airport lounges didn't always have the best foods. They also didn;t have the best furniture and tables either. There was a rattiness to many of the lounges , especially the American based airlines. It wans't so with the foreign airlines such as Cathay Pacific and emirates. For years they've accessorized their lounges with dim sum, cocktail pairings and even cigar bars. Their American counterparts are catching up with a vengeance. Famed chefs are now creating gourmet menus for weary and anxious travelers. Next week lounges operated by such great chefs as Kwame Orowuachi, mashama Bailey, Michael Solomonov and Sarah Greenbieg. even the very famous chef Jose Andres is running the lounge at Ronald Reagan in Washington. He has create a flavorful tapas that include jamon croquetas and gambas alalijo. spicy shrimp.
Even airports like LaGuardia in queens ,New York is stepping up it's game. Long considered a third world airport even bu President Biden , the lounges there are being filled with gourmet treats. The Chase sapphire Lounge , accessible to those who have the Chase Sapphire card., the J.P. Morgan T+reserve card or the Rit-Carlton credit card can have access to an area that looks like a lobby of a posh hotel.It's centerpiece is a circular bar with purple velvet chairs. The coctkail menu comes from the popular Manhattan bar Apotheke. The baristas can even make a trendy sea salt and oat milk latte. each table also has QR codes where guests can order such meals as gnocchi with zucchini and mint and marinated beets with whipped feta. Mind to get into this lounge card holders will have to pay a hefty fee Chase sapphire reserves costs eight hndred dollars a year while J.P Morgan and Ritz-Carlton also have large fees of eight hundred dollars and close to five hundred dollars respectively. For a cheaper rate Dallas 's United Polaris Lounge offers radicchio and roasted peaches..
Airline lounges are changing. They're offering great food and drink. what a perfect way to start a trip.
