Dining in Naples/Capri Italy

In less than 2 weeks, I will be traveling to Naples & Capri and would love any recommendations on where to eat and drink while I am there.

I already saw the post on Slice about pizzarias to visit, and have read all the tourist guides. I am seeking your opinion on "musts" and cost is not a factor at all. Just want the best of the best.

Do Singles Bars Exist in NYC?

I am in my mid-twenties and wondering where a young, single woman should go to meet someone? Since I'm not interested in going to either dive/taverns, sports, or fratboy bars - does such a place exist?

Dining Alone in NYC?!

Dining alone seems to be a common "fear" shared by many or stored away as "something I want to eventually do," but never actually get around to it. My perception is eating lunch alone is "acceptable," whereas dinner takes it to the next level.

So my two part question is, do you go out to dinner by youself? And if so, what are some recommendations in New York City?

Birthday restaurant with boss near Times Square? Suggestions please!

My "big boss" is visiting our New York office next week and wants to take me and my 2 managers out to dinner to celebrate - my choice.
The problem is our office is in Times Square (42nd & Broadway) so we do not want to venture too far, but at the same time I feel like we have exhausted the "closest, nicest" restaurants in the area. We've already been to Esca, Hells Kitchen, Koi, db bistro moderne, Haru, Metro Marche, and Blue Fin (too many times to count).
Thoughts/suggestions?
