From today until May 5, foodies around Vermont can take advantage of prix-fixe menus at special prices in restaurants around the region. This is only Vermont’s second year doing this, but it’s a phenomenon that’s been hosted in a number of cities around the US for years now. Restaurant Week is a great opportunity to take yourself out to eat. That’s right, I’m talking about solo dining. [...] [...] Vermont Restaurant Week starts today.

You're absolutely right about the waitstaff. I find them to be a little extra friendly when I'm alone. They try a little harder. But I also have a strategy for not being uncomfortable while dining alone--bring distractions with me in case I need them. If I'm focused on writing in my journal or reading something or flipping through the photos on my camera, I sort of lose track of where I am, so there's none of that awkwardness while I'm waiting for food to arrive. Works for me, anyway. Welcome to my blog, Jack! You're absolutely right about the waitstaff. I find them to be a little extra friendly when I'm alone. They try a little harder.
