Dining alone on the road always comes with a few choices - what do you do once you pick a place to eat? Do you take a bar seat and people-watch? Do you bring a book or a magazine to read? Do you just sit alone hoping to find someone else to chat it up with?
These days another option keeps most busy while dining: the smartphone. You can text, surf the web, Facebook, take photos of your meal and post them on Twitter, whatever! I see so many people on their phones at the bar I begin to wonder when bars will start adding power outlets for their customers.
What do you do while dining alone?
I always try to get a bar seat... That way at least I can listen to conversations, people watch, and even have my own talk with the bartender or other patrons. Eating alone is miserable.
ReplyDeleteI just eat fast and try to be at a place with TV's... at least I get to watch a game while I wait.
