Dining Alone in NYC?!
when i lived downtown, i often ate at the bar or at the communal table at lupa. they were very welcoming and didn't mind that i didn't drink.

@cewestwood: as a former bartender, I can tell you I didn't really mind people eating at the bar. The only thing I hated was when they ordered hot tea or espresso--a total pain. Bartenders can never guarantee what their patrons are going to do, so if I have the option between someone nursing 2 $8 glasses of wine for 45 minutes and someone ordering a $12 appetizer and a $20 entree, with possible dessert and who knows what else, then it's fine with me. Which would I rather get the tip on, after all? As long as you tip me the same as you'd tip a waiter, I'm copacetic.

all the time! a meal alone can be so luxurious and peaceful. i love eating at bars--the little owl is great if i can walk in, sushi bars, or today i had a lovely late lunch at cafe cluny which was empty around three o'clock. they gave me the window seat and i had the most amazing skate with chanterelles, leeks, and arugula. i agree with sneakeater on that there is absolutely NO stigma to eating dinner alone in this city. be bold!

I eat dinner by myself all the time but it's usually at places like Ssam or Matsugen with communal seating. Or I'll eat at the bar at Craft.
Dining Alone in NYC?!
I have been visiting New York City by myself twice a year since 2005, and eating at many the great variety of restaurants available is, of course, one of my favorite things to do. I am a middle-aged female, and I do feel uncomfortable dining by myself, but I have no choice if I want to enjoy this activity. It gets easier the more you do it.
I don't feel that I have ever been treated poorly in any of the restaurants I have visited.. Some waiters do seem to have more natural skill at making customers feel at ease. Most recently I was treated beautifully during a pre-theater dinner at Insieme - just like a VIP!
Since I don't drink alcolic beverages I have never sat at the bar. Wouldn't the bartender prefer not having a non-drinker taking up the space?

I eat dinner by myself all alone. Anywhere with a bar is a good place to eat alone. There is absolutely no stigma to eating dinner alone here. None.

otto is good for eating out alone, i like their bar. it's lively and you get the full menu.
if you like chinatown and noodles, i like super taste. lots of people eat alone there.
