NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OTG Management, the hospitality group that is transforming the airport experience across the country, announced their expansion at LaGuardia with their latest innovative dining concepts – The Line Sports Grill & Poppy's Bagels.

After 11am, OTG brings flavors of the local New York sports scene to LaGuardia airport with their newest addition, The Line Sports Grill. When walking to The Line, travelers can see Citi Field and Arthur Ashe Stadium in the distance, and in just a few minutes they can enjoy a local beer or wine from one of many local New York breweries and wineries to pair with The Line Sports Sidewinder Fries and piled high nachos. The fun and unique restaurant focuses on elevated pub menu favorites but encompasses flavorful twists such as their Szechuan Hot Chicken Sando, decadent loaded fries and more. On the beverage side of things, travelers will have an eclectic range of beer, wine, and spirits options hailing from our neighbors to the East and North. Guests will never miss a game as The Line Sports Grill offers a variety of options on larger-than-life screens to indulge in their favorite sports including college, international, local, and professional.
