Alone?
If you're alone, there's no need to eat in your hotel room if you don't want to! Although dining alone is an acquired skill, keep some of the following suggestions in mind as you work at acquiring it. When choosing a restaurant, select a lively place, such as a bistro, cafe or ethnic restaurant. It's fun to sit at the counter and watch your food being prepared. Be selective about the table where you are seated, don't accept one near the kitchen door or next to a table of lovers. Also, experienced solo travelers agree it helps to always take these items with you to the restaurant: a book, postcards and stationery. Linger to write letters, read a good novel or eavesdrop on your neighbors' conversations. Finally, tip well, as you are paving the way for the next woman who dines alone in this restaurant. So, enjoy your dining experiences and bon appetit! |
