Spirit and Bell, LaGuardia Airport – Queens, New York

This golden bar echoes an old-timey style, a perfect illustration of LaGuardia’s new sophistication. I thought it a fitting end as I left the airport for my first destination — Flushing, New York.

It took some digging to discover the name of this joint. Spirit & Bell is located after crossing the pedestrian bridge just before exiting the secured area. Its warm, festive, and upscale look attracted my attention.

Surprisingly, I didn’t find many pictures of it on the web — I expected more photo coverage. Maybe I have a strange photographic taste snapping pictures of airport bars. But really, it’s capturing a feeling or mood that drives my photography.
