Here's an excerpt from "Sole Purpose," an article on marketing to solo diners published in the
June 2010 issue of Cheers Magazine:
“We have some [women] guests that will stay in hotel that dine every night alone,” Wagner [L’Atelier
de Joël Robuchon restaurant at The Four Seasons Hotel New York] says. “There’s something about the interaction
that makes it less intimidating …Make it known that the staff will call a cab for or walk solo females to their
cars,” [Marya Charles] Alexander says."

We need more information on communal tables...I live on Long Island, NY and am trying to convince many of our chefs/
owners to make a communal table available for solo diners....it would benefit them tremendously with increased
business and would especially help them on "slow nights" Mon, Tues Wed nights, lunches and brunch time
when we singles are always eating out and would like to sit with other solo diners rather than at a bar in front
of the football on TV!!!!!!!
I am unable to find the list of restaurants that have communal tables....did you remove it from your site.?..if
so I feel it is a very needed feature on the internet and hope you keep it active...
Thanks

out alone!
