Option 3

There is always a bit of a challenge when you travel alone, do you run into a McDonald’s and eat crap, order room service which is overpriced or hold your head up high and dine alone? Last night I got in late and had way too much work to do so I opted for option 2 around 10:30, tonight I planned a little bit better and opted for option 3, dining alone!

There is a certain amount of confidence that you must maintain when dining alone. You can’t allow yourself to second guess or over analyze the glances from strangers.

When I arrived at Bistro Isabella I was greeted by name, and seated in a cozy little table in the window. Had I been on a date this table and restaurant would have been near perfection…but alas I was not. Until of course I decided to date myself…why not take this time to really enjoy some great wine, food and peace and quiet to myself!

If you are even in Tarrytown NY alone or with some of your favorite people, you really must visit this tiny little romantic restaurant…if for nothing more than the amazing atmosphere and cheesecake! Forget that, everything was wonderful; I may start dining alone in Chicago too!

And I’m sure you’re all wondering what I was doing for the hour I was at dinner…hmm, what would you do?
