Loft: Restaurant, Queens, NYC

Inside, diner-style seating and charging stations provide a practical spot to wait out a flight. The digital ordering system lets you scan a QR code or use a table iPad without requiring an account sign-up. While the drinks are small and carry typical airport pricing, and the food is standard, average fare, the space is widely considered to have the best atmosphere in the terminal. Service can be hit-or-miss, but it remains a functional refuge for travelers with hours to kill.
