Miami

Dominated by American Airlines, Miami International is big and confusing and, it seems, constantly under construction. But you're safe at La Carreta in the North Terminal near Gate D37. This 24-hour branch of the Miami minichain makes a great Cuban sandwich. And leave it to Miami to have a trendy new airport bar that critics actually call "sexy." Opened earlier this year, Beaudevin, in Terminal D near Gate D24, is an Americanized transplant of a chain of Belgian wine bars. The rotating wine list is always intriguing, and the decor and stemware is, well, sexy. The sandwiches, salads, and bistro cuisine are also quite good.

About four miles from the airport, on Coral Gables' restaurant row, you'll find Francesco, a Peruvian place that offers little in the way of decor but plenty of flavor in the ceviches and tiraditos. Surprisingly good pastas too. Besides, how many family restaurants do you know with branches in Lima, Buenos Aires, and Coral Gables?
