When I had classes on Thursday nights- I resolved to try to a new food joint every week just because it was a foodie city.. but it felt so awkward going alone at 10pm, not for me personally, I felt totally fine about it, but the wait staff would do or say the weirdest shit.. the women would give me pity looks too and ask if I was okay... and the men would linger and/or sit down. I gave up after trying 6 restaurants..plusss I was blowing a lot of money..food was great tho.
