I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Iberian lounge Madrid airport. Had a very tight connection so I could only do a drive-by. Did manage to have a quick slurp of this very lackluster Verdejo.

American/British Airways lounge Greenwich. The food is the usual chicken thigh sludge, but one bright spot appears to be these tea sandwiches!

Iberian air got me entry to the AA/BA Greenwich lounge at JFK -- their " least good " apparently but my favorite. This quaffable rose is on offer (self serve, which is my favorite kind of serve) as is piper heidsack champagne!

Delta lounge LGA. The bar opened up five minutes ago and the bartender has already gone through two bottles of Prosecco. I opted for a bloody Mary instead.

Delta lounge LGA. Crack of dawn. There is this sad abandoned pancake station… Bar opens in five minutes. There is already a line.

Venice airport Marco Polo lounge. This is the far more typical ode to bread at an offbrand European lounge.

Rainy Venice morning--Marco Polo Airport lounge. These cheese and meat bureks are on offer – about as stodgy as they look. The wine is surprisingly not self serve – a typical for a European lounge – but it appears to be a local fruity Soave. Not great, but not horrible.

United airlines Polaris lounge EWR--in honor of the Spanish inspired buffet I decided to try the AlbariΓ±o on offer and it's a tad sweet but not bad!

United lounge AGAIN – but this time it's Polaris! The bar has the always drinkable if somewhat uninteresting, whispering angel – and this rice is on offer. It looks neither summery or nearly as festive as the confetti would imply…

United lounge MSY. There is also this "flatbread with arugula"that is giving off very serious pizza in a middle school cafeteria vibes – complete with the not completely melted cheese…

United lounge MSY. Again this is a pay to play lounge. The wine selection – even the premium ones – is pretty dire. Three different Chardonnays and a "white blend". So we're having martinis instead. This is the food on offer. I have no idea what seasonal enhancements means…

United Club EWR. These sandwiches are probably the most exotic thing on the breakfast buffet. They do have that dried out I've been here for five or six hours look ...

United club lounge at Newark. This is one where you have to pay to play. There is a house white and a house red – this is a premium rosΓ© for about seven bucks a glass. Certainly not the worst thing I've ever drunk on a Wednesday morning.

all I can say about HUNTING WIVES is that if they spin off a series featuring Wanda Salazar I am SO there for it

Boru lounge, Shannon airport. Breakfast is a sad and pallid affair – this is pretty much it besides some dry sodabread and a few packets of cheese. Alas No hot food whatsoever.

Boru lounge, Shannon airport. TINY. Besides these two mediocre wine offerings there is a bottle of Bailey's, an Irish vodka called "Dingle"-- and some non- alcoholic gin. Most folks are going straight for the (canned) Guinness.

Heathrow early layover-- 2 lounges available, both windowless caverns. I opted for the Plaza Premium over the No. 1-- slightly bigger and they have pale American pancakes....

United Airlines Polaris lounge EWR – the wine offer doesn't look terrible--there is the bland but classic whispering angel, and an interesting looking AlbariΓ±o. But it is so so hot that I opted for a spritz.

United Polaris lounge -- EWR! This is their flagship... but the buffet is pretty sparse and uninspired, Spanish inspiration be damned. Besides this – there is the requisite pallid chicken thigh dish, and a pile of gloopy tortellini. And of course – stunningly red charcuterie.
