DTW ranks top 10 in national airport list
Why it matters: The Post's No. 10 ranking reaffirms DTW's reputation among local travelers as an asset for its location, brisk security checkpoints and modern McNamara Terminal.
State of play: WaPo researchers relied as much on reader nominations and reviews as on quantitative metrics, such as food options and on-time flights, in ranking more than 450 airports.
They found travelers tend to prefer "small, human-scale facilities over hectic hubs."
What they're saying:"This airport is efficient, accessible, and built to move people through the needed steps without clumping. There were no long waits and no jumbled masses of people," one user wrote on Yelp this month.
"I have to say, I was quite impressed with the overall experience. Airports are often stressful, but DTW does a lot of things right to make the journey smoother and more comfortable," another wrote.
Zoom out: Airports serving Portland, Oregon (PDX), Long Beach, California (LGB), Washington, D.C. (DCA), Minneapolis (MSP), and Seattle (PAE) constituted the top five.
💭 Joe's thought bubble: I love the fact that I can get past DTW security from my door in Ferndale in about an hour.

How to be a better traveler: Etiquette tips for planes, houseguests and going abroad
The story of travel, particularly by plane, has been one of constantly changing rules and escalating frustrations. This century has been shaped by 9/11 attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic, both of which forever changed how we move through places of transport. But once you actually get somewhere, it's so worth it to leave your routine at home and immerse in another culture. With that in mind, I spoke to etiquette expert Lisa Mirza Grotts, author of 'A Traveler's Passport to Etiquette in a Post-Pandemic World,' about how to be a good traveler and guest in the 21st century. Grotts, who is based in Healdsburg and worked in the San Francisco Office of Protocol, likes to remind people that travel is about sharing space. 'Travel isn't private,' she said. 'As such, you're required to be mindful. Every step of the journey — airports, airplanes, lobbies, crowded sidewalks — are shared space. We are constantly moving along with others.' If you think this book isn't needed in 2025, Google 'bad airplane behavior,' 'misbehaving American tourist' or 'houseguest nightmare.' No one wants to be the person who inconveniences locals or fellow travelers. But everyone should know how to tactfully handle those people should they encounter them on their journey. How to be a good air traveler When in an airport, Grotts advises to 'move with purpose.' That doesn't mean bulldoze people, but walk with a destination in mind and try to stay out of the way of anyone who looks like they're in a bigger hurry. Also remember the rules of the road: The left side of the escalator and moving walkway is for passing. Pay attention to the Transportation Security Administration agents. If they tell you to take off your shoes or take out your electronics or dump that bottle of water, don't try to negotiate. And don't rush the gate at boarding. 'It's not like you're taking the last chopper out of Saigon,' said Grotts. 'Get to the gate when they call you.' Once on the plane, politely acknowledge your seatmate — but remember, 'they're not your captive audience.' Take their social cues, Grotts said, like putting on headsets or sleep masks, which are clear signs they're interested in solitude. It's also good plane manners to cede both armrests to the middle-seat holder. 'It's the least you can do for the worst seat,' she said. How and when to tip Tip hotel cleaning services daily, not a lump sum at the end of the trip. Tipping drivers is something to factor into the cost of any ride. Usually 10%-20% for a private car will suffice. Local tipping customs vary internationally, so Grotts encourages researching to figure out whether tip is included on bills. When dining in some European countries like France or Italy, for instance, a service charge often covers the costs of table service. That means tipping 5%-10% is a bonus. That should also be the range for tipping in bars, taxis and hotels. Asia's tipping culture is also different in each country. China, Myanmar, Singapore and Taiwan do not have a strong tipping culture, whereas hospitality workers in much of Southeast Asia — including Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia — are more likely to expect tips. When in doubt: Overtipping only costs a few dollars more. How to be a good guest in someone's home Hostess gifts, something thoughtful they're not expected to share with you, are a must when staying in someone else's home. Grotts likes homemade items: jams, preserves, anything from your garden. I'm also a believer in hosting them when you're out to meals and visiting places with them. Above all, 'don't treat them like a bed and breakfast,' said Grotts. Most importantly, do not overstay your welcome. Mark a clear departure date, and make sure your host is comfortable with the extent of your visit. A few days after your departure, follow up with a handwritten thank-you note. How to be a good guest in a different culture You don't go through all the hassle of traveling to live life exactly as you do at home, so don't expect that when traveling elsewhere, Grotts said. Be comfortable with being uncomfortable in a new country. You're going to stumble (like accidentally insulting a Belgian by thanking them in French), but when are you going to see these people again? Just try your best. When in doubt, observe how the locals dress and behave in certain spaces. 'Learn the basics — hello, please, thank you, excuse me — in their language,' Grotts said. 'These are the words you should be using at home too. Your manners don't go on vacation when you do.'

S.F.'s window onto the world has three must-visit eateries
Perhaps we've been taking food too seriously. It's become a form of art, an obsession: California cuisine, celebrity chefs, rising stars, Michelin stars, the good life in Wine Country. Maybe we forget sometimes about ordinary American food, like what they serve at Frankie's Java House eatery and bar on the waterfront next to the ballpark. The featured dish is a smashburger, and you can get a hot dog and beer for $10 and a shot for $5. California cuisine? How about a fish taco? Unlike the French Laundry, reservations are not required, especially on slow days when the Giants are not playing down the block. On game days, customers are three deep at the bar. No Michelin stars, but 3.7 on Yelp. 'It's really a little oasis,' said Pat Belding, the manager and sometime bartender. 'And it's been here forever.' Frankie's is one of a string of three small eateries on the waterside of the Embarcadero between the Ferry Building and Oracle Park. One is the Hi Dive at Pier 28, where Bryant Street runs into the bay, the second is Red's Java House, not far away at Pier 30-32. Frankie's, a few blocks south, is the third. There are other, better, classier places in the neighborhood, but these three stand out, mostly because they have a San Francisco style to them, hard to define, part salt water and fog and inexpensive food and a sense of the city 'reminding people of what San Francisco was and is,' Belding said. Of all the places in San Francisco that have changed, the waterfront has changed the most. In its prime, the Embarcadero was the city's window onto the world, the piers lined with ships. The customers in the little waterfront joints were longshoremen and sailors interested in beer and cheap eats. The oldest of the waterfront places was the Java House at Pier 40, opened in 1912. Tom McGarvey and his brother Mike owned it for a while. They also owned the better known Red's Java House, not far away. Eventually, Philip Papadopolous bought the Pier 40 Java House. That was in 1984 and the waterfront was in decline; the ships had all moved to Oakland, the warehouses that filled the neighborhood had shut down and the Embarcadero was lined with rusty railroad tracks. The Java House was just a waterfront shack in the middle of nowhere. When Sotiria, Papadopolous' wife, saw the place, she burst into tears. But the family, including Philip's wife and daughters, made it work, especially after the baseball park opened in 2000 and changed everything. A new day. But things change. After a run of 33 years, the Papadopolous family sold the business to Michael Heffernan, an insurance executive who is a member of an old San Francisco family. The place was a bit rundown, colorful but grungy. Heffernan put in a new bar, beefed up the menu and opened up more outdoor seating. It was newer and better — and it was renamed for Mike's father, Francis Michael Heffernan. Everybody called him 'Frankie,' a lifelong San Francisco Giants fan and an admirer of martinis. I dropped by the other afternoon to have a look around. A quiet summer day, a touch of fog but warm by the bay. The Giants were on the road, and the grounds crew at Oracle Park were cleaning up after a big concert a couple of days earlier. The concert, featuring the Colombian pop superstar Shakira, is a reminder that history is still being made on the old waterfront. The Chronicle said she was the first Hispanic artist to draw a sellout crowd of over 35,000 to Oracle Park. 'A cultural milestone,' the paper called it. Good for business, too. Frankie's was packed. Frankie's is in the food and drink business, and Belding describes the menu as 'Simple bar food.' Every restaurant has a signature dish. Frankie's is the smashburger, which is different from the conventional hamburger, which is usually larger. A smashburger is thinner; the meat has been pressed down, or 'smashed,'' with a spatula or press which gives it a unique flavor. Smashburger historians say the dish was invented in Colorado in 1975, and caught on slowly. Now, they are all the rage. 'Smashburgers are having a moment,' Martha Stewart wrote the other day. Frankie's uses a taco press to do the smashing but Belding says the secret is grilled onions, good quality meat 'and our own special sauce.' He also admires the clam chowder. 'My wife's from Boston and she likes it,' he said. The bar offers 15 or so beers on tap. The biggest seller: 805 brewed in Paso Robles. Also, Barebottle: a craft beer brewed in San Francisco. Baseball and concerts last only in spring and summer; the rest of the time waterfront places have to depend on the South Beach neighborhood of about 5,000 people who live nearby, people out for runs on the Embarcadero and weekend sailors with boats in the South Beach Harbor — regulars who keep these places alive. One of them is Jason Lalley, who lives not far away. 'I like it here,' he said. 'I like the food and the company,'' he said. A simple answer.

Trump has given up on 'America First' in one arena: Sports
In March 2018, then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson drafted a letter outlining nine categories of people who would be eligible for visas around the games, according to a copy reviewed by POLITICO. But those campaigning to bring the World Cup to the United States feared that Tillerson's word might not be persuasive enough to win over foreign representatives. 'They were calling me constantly trying to get me to come on board,' Trump recounted four months later while sitting alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino and then-U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro. 'But it only took one call because when I heard 'World Cup,' I wanted to do it.' On May 2, Trump secretly signed his own letter striking a very different tone about international travel than his solicitor general's argument later that month before the Supreme Court that a blanket ban was necessary to protect national security. The letter, facilitated by then-adviser Jared Kushner, included Trump's personal guarantee that 'all eligible athletes, officials, and fans from all countries around the world would be able to enter the United States without discrimination.' The United Bid team traveled to more than fifty countries with the letter as a centerpiece of a final sales pitch shopped to soccer officials ahead of FIFA's vote, according to two people involved with the United Bid who were granted anonymity to discuss internal strategy. 'When someone had hesitation and said, 'Hey, there's a lot going on with the U.S. — travel bans, visa issues,'' one of the people said. 'We'd say, 'Don't worry about it. We talked to the President, and here's the letter from him saying that it's not going to be an issue.'' That June, the American bid prevailed, and organizers set out to plan games across the three countries even as Trump pushed for a 2,000-mile border wall with Mexico and blew up a Canadian-hosted G7 summit after calling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 'dishonest and weak.' At the time, the tournament itself was a distant abstraction, two presidential terms away, with little more for Trump to do but bask in his success helping to sell the bid. 'So let's see, 2026 — I won't be here,' Trump said with Infantino and Cordeiro in 2018. 'Maybe they'll extend the term.' His successor, Joe Biden, proceeded under Trump's commitments to FIFA about the World Cup. Federal agencies began to have preliminary conversations about visas and security funding. At the same time, 16 host cities — including 11 across the United States — were designated, each standing up a host committee to coordinate everything outside the stadiums.
