The renovated Terminal A at Boston Logan International airport has an abundance of great options for travelers. Swing through Vino Volo for a glass of Malbec and a small plate, such as the chorizo chickpea chili, which helps deal with the frustration of those vague 'mechanical issues in Atlanta.'

Dine Boston Restaurant

Pre-security, level 3.
(617) 567-5700

DINE Boston's visiting chef program welcomes a different locally-acclaimed chef every three months to add his of her flair to the menu. Because security lines can be unpredictable, we wouldn't normally recommend a pre-security restaurant. However, a stamped DINE Boston receipt (ask your server) will get you access to the priority security line that's typically reserved for frequent fliers. Bonus!

The Others:

Boston Beer Works

Post security, departure level 2

O'Brian's Pub
