I’m craving a kick ass Lobster Roll, so I have decided that I will be dining at Bongo tomorrow after work.
Eating alone has never really bothered me too much, but of course there is always the awkward response from the hostess, “oh, just one?”
I have had people tell me that they would never dine alone. My philosophy is that there is no reason I should wait around for friends (or a date) to go eat good food.
I go to movies and restaurants alone all the time. Because of that I know the staff at 1/2 of the restaurants in the West Village, which can come in handy. I find no shame in rolling solo.
This being said, I wish I could come with you tomorrow night! Yes, I’m totally inviting myself. However, I have Gossip Girl date plans. But if you ever want an impromptu dinner date—please ring me.
