Interesting - I actually thought that the terminal felt teeny, particularly compared to McNamara. Passengers come in through security across from gates 16 or 18, and with 32 gates, you're right in the middle. Even getting to the far ends of the terminal takes 8 minutes, max.

Regarding the food, I'm loving the paninis at Le Boulanger. The mozzarella, basil, and tomato sandwich is great, despite the hefty price tag.
