Eating out..Alone
haha never do I look at single diner's with pity since I tend to always be a single diner. you can't expect people to have company with them at all times. i love concentrating on a delicious meal if i decide to treat myself. i have some wine, indulge in dessert, etc. but even a simple pad thai dinner is easy. bring a book or a magazine or just sit and have some time to think for yourself. don't ever deny yourself the pleasure of food because you're afraid of dining alone!
once i was at the bar at the union square cafe having just dessert: freshly fried sugary donuts! and this seemingly wealthy (and a bit tipsy) older women (i am 28) took the seat next to me and proclaimed that she was waiting for her date, indicating that she was alone but not for long. she then told me how sad that a pretty girl like myself had to sit alone and eat by myself and i said, "but ma'am, i'm not alone, look at these delicious donuts i have to keep me company!" people sitting alongside me at the bar, listening in all nodded in agreement, and exclaimed how good they looked. THAT was a fun night.
Eating out in Fort Greene / Williamsburg
Fanny on Graham is off the beaten path and a more affordable version of Dumont, which can be a scene and very pricey. They have a fantastic porkchop, cripsy-skinned chicken, and delicious flank steak with fries. French-American.

Wow great stuff here guys! My mother used to put Ovaltine in my oatmeal, making it "chocolate oatmeal". We used to make kosher hot dog fried rice and also use the cut up dogs in macaroni and red sauce. We are a half filipino household, and though this isn't exactly a food, but I was so accustomed to eating so often with my hands, it freaked my friends out, and so I stopped. But I'll still do it at home!
