After some rough decades, LaGuardia Airport is now considered one of the best airports in North America for good reason. The domestic airport went through intensive renovations, resulting in a shiny bright new traveling hub in New York City. And this extends into its food and drinks offerings. There are newcomers like outposts of Texas-style breakfast taco stand King David Tacos, falafel wonder Taim, NYC pizzeria Artichoke, and much, much more. To come is a new restaurant lounge run by José Andrés in partnership with Capital One for Terminal B.
