* Pinball. There are machines in the middle of the F concourse and the beginning of the C concourse in the video arcades there.

* Eats: Maui Taco in the C concourse - - I usually get a beef enchilado and fish taco combo that comes with a drink and the all-you-can-salsa bar for about $10. Cheaper still is Pizza Famiglia in the food court in Northstar Crossing; depending on what pizzas they have out, you can get a specialty slice just loaded with yummies for about $4. Sure beats the $10 California Pizza Kitchen in the F concourse where the dough is sweet like candy.

* If you are not going to the WorldClub and need a place to hang, there is the "secret" lounge that overlooks Northstar crossing; you go up the stairs or take the elevator next to the Worldclub, go through the double doors, and there are very comfortable chairs, plugs for the laptop, and usually virtually nobody there.
