Capital One partnered with [José] Andrés and the José Andrés Group to open the first Capital One Landing in 2024, at Washington Reagan National (DCA). In February, the partnership opened a second tapas-style restaurant—more than twice as large as the first—within a fully refurbished, 12,500-square-foot space at LaGuardia Airport (LGA).
The collaboration is far more hands-on than the average celebrity chef deal, according to Gary Leff, the industry watcher behind the View from the Wing blog. “José Andrés Group actually has staff on-site,” Leff says. “They’ve sourced plates and insisted on specific ingredients, such as the jamón ibérico.”
That translates into a high-end experience inside Terminal B, just before the bridge to gates 11 through 31. Andrés said at a media preview that he enjoys serving business travelers.
If you’re flying American at LaGuardia, you’ll get a glimpse of this space, and its exciting menu, on your way to the Admirals Club.
