Eaying alone?
1. Tell the Masitre'd when you makle your reservation that you're open to his seating another solo diner with you. That's better for him to free up a table.
2. Google best places for solo dining. Great rersults.
3. Take advantage of your club membership. Many clubs, golf, yacht, alumni, etc have reciprocity agreements and you will be treated like a member.
4. Service clubs. Rotary, Kiwanis, etc frequently have dinner meetings and welcome guest members.
5. Meals on Wheels--Elder nutrion comes in many forms now, including "Congregate Dining" so solo diners have others to eat with. Some restaurants are part of a group dining program where the MOW participant gets a meal coupon for cheap and others can join for a meal. You don't have to be real old to participate.
6. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Eat for a small donation and your service. Everybody else there is alone too.
