I'm not enthused over Delta's exquisite cuisine, even though they do seem to be getting a tad better...
Well, I already mentioned Thai in Woodside, Queens. It's near the intersection of 65th St. and Roosevelt Avenue. R train to 65th St. would be the easiest xfer at Jackson Heights/74th Street from the E train from JFK. Also, considering the 10-ride card for the AirTrain is $25, you might consider getting that since you have a party of at least two. Four rides come out to $20, and you could give the remaining six rides to a fellow FTer or coworker.
