Atlanta

Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, home to hubs of Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines-controlled AirTran Airways, is already sprawling and handles more traffic than any other airport. And 2012 will brings a new international terminal into the mix. Thankfully, Hartsfield is blessed with several outlets of Paschal's, a local bastion of traditional Southern cuisine. If you can handle the fusion, One Flew South merges southern flavors, sushi, and other international fare. Located on Concourse E, it's probably the snappiest bar in the airport too. Open two years ago, the airport branch of Atlanta's Cafe Intermezzo merges a bookstore and Central European coffeehouse with light meals to surprisingly good effect. It's on Concourse B.

If you want to wander outside the airport bubble, two places in College Park, about four miles away, will do. The Brake Pad does cheap and comfortable pub grub in a stylishly converted gas station. There's an outdoor patio too. More elegant and with a more varied menu, The Feed Store used to be, well, a feed store. It's adjacent to the MARTA rail system's College Park station, just one stop (and about five minutes) from the airport.
