A recent study revealed the nation’s best and worst airport food.

Guess who came in last?

LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark sat at the bottom of the list.

What was the best airport dining experience?

Denver, Phoenix, and Atlanta were the culinary leaders.

The airports were judged by the quality, variety, and price of the food offerings.

At some airports, choice came into play.

Atlanta’s airport has 140 dining options, including one restaurant which fuses Southern and Japanese cuisine, with a menu well worth missing your connection.

As for the New York airports, there’s clearly work to be done.

Perhaps on your next flight from New York, skip the meal altogether. Then change planes in either Atlanta, Phoenix, or Denver, with enough time to eat very well.
