Table for One: New York City

Summary: Finally, just what I need!
Review: I've been raving about this book, so I thought I ought to write my first Amazon review. I'm sure dining alone is a hit or miss experience anywhere.But a bad experience is especially a drag in NYC, where you can waste big dollars (as well as rare free time), being treated badly. I use Zagat's frequently, and have wished they'd include a 'good for solo' category. I've found nothing in any other restaurant guide I've seen, either. So I was thrilled when I found this title at a bookstore, and I wasn't disappointed when I looked inside. It's well written (not annoying like some of these first person deals can be), and the reviews are really helpful---they cover the general stuff like food and service, as well as assessing the 'solo diner comfort level', with enough specifics so you can make your own final judgment. I've found that it works very well as a generic guide too, for non-solo dining: you have the food, ambience info., but also can figure that if a place is comfortable and welcoming to a solo diner, it would be a place anyone would enjoy. Now I'm just waiting for the Bar for One guide!
