San Francisco Airport's new Terminal 2

San Francisco International Airport's new Terminal is sparkling and beautiful—and it's a food-lover's haven. I was delighted to walk into this modern space with water bottle-filling stations, Design Within Reach Furniture, and several appealing places to grab a bite. You can start with freshly rolled sushi at Wakaba, grab a coffee at Peet's and finish with a cup of cool, tart yogurt at Pinkberry. There are also Niman Ranch burgers at Burger Joint, fresh taco salads at Andalé, and tapas and local wines at Vino Volo.

Airport Eats: Oakland's Aunt Anne's


My daughter, Paris, and I are off on a mother-daughter getaway to Portland, Ore. (more on that later). This morning at the Oakland airport, we picked up a pretzel covered in cinnamon and sugar from Aunt Anne's, tucked in away in a small stall in the terminal for Southwest Airlines. Paris and I bought just one to share and we ended up getting a second one. We both agree that these tasty treats are even better than donuts. The pretzel café also has savory offerings, from pretzel dogs to sourdough twists slathered in sour cream and chives.

You can find Aunt Anne's at airports all over the country. Click here for locations.

Airport eats: Firewood Cafe at SFO

While waiting for our plane to NYC at the San Francisco International Airport, we devoured two of the most delicious pizzas I've ever had. I'm not kidding. The crust at the Firewood Cafe is perfect—European style, thin and crispy. They add just enough tasty sauce and cheese to let the fresh toppings, such as prosciutto, and arugula, shine. This is a great place to stop before you fly.



I recommend:
Mushroom Pizza $8.95
Sautéed oyster and crimini mushrooms with caramelized onions and homemade tomato sauce.
Margherita Pizza $8.50
Homemade tomato sauce, fresh Roma tomatoes, and basil leaves.


You'll find three Firewood Cafe's at SFO:
International Terminal
Firewood Café: Through security at Boarding Area A, near Gate A10
Domestic Terminal
Firewood Café: In Terminal 1, pre-security for Gates 40-48 of Boarding Area C.
Firewood Café: In Terminal 3, through security, in the main food court of the United Terminal.
