We'll be spending the night at the Logan Airport Hyatt in a few weeks. No plan to go into the city (returning from Europe; flying out the next morning). I wonder if there's a worthwhile restaurant at the airport, or what opinions are about dining venues at either the Hyatt or nearby Hilton?

Logan airport is so close to great dining in downtown Boston (5 minute cab ride?) that there is no reason to limit yourself to the airport, Hyatt, or Hilton.

No need to leave Logan; Legal Sea Foods has two restaurants at the airport.

I thought about that to but depending upon what time their plane gets in from Europe, I'd want to go check in, dump my luggage, shower, change and then get something to eat.

In order to eat at Legal Seafood (which is excellent, I just ate there a week ago), they'd have to go back through security.

Thanks for the thoughts. We were in Boston last year - absolutely no interest in schlepping in this time, after spending most of the day on a plane (all-time, most UN-favorite thing!). We land around 4...immigration/baggage, etc...and I know we'll just want to eat and crash.
(Hmmm...maybe 'crash' isn't the word I want under the circumstances....)

If all you want to do is eat and crash, then it sounds like the most convenient for you is hotel eating.

we are all so different, I hate being in a plane all day too, which is why I woiuld need to shower and grab a cab - if you don't want to venture into 'downtown Boston' you can get to the North End before you blink - and enjoy an early meal and even walk around for 20 minutes before going back to hotel to cras...... well, oh yea, we wanted to substitue something for that word.....how about collapsing?

I stay at that Hyatt a lot. Astonishing views from the restaurant. The food is excellent but expensive, though it won't seem expensive if you are coming back from Europe! Entrees in the $25-35 range, appetizers $8-15, desserts less than $10. You could eat well for less in the city, but I would crash if I were you.

I believe there is a Legal Seafood in Terminal C; I know they have a snackbar, but I think there is also a full-service restaurant.

The best food in the airport is at Jasper White's Summer Shacks (2 of them, food court and cafe) but they were planned before 9/11 and you have to go through security to get to them, which you can't do without a Delta ticket. Too sad!

I have to agree with Escargot. The North End is so close to the airport that it would be a shame not to have dinner there. Just take a cab and go to any of the many restaurants on Hanover St. They're all good!

You can take a short cab ride to East Boston, Santarpio's for Pizza or El Buen Gusto for Latin. There are many choices, and you don't have to worry about getting stuck in the tunnel for along imte.
