Best Place To Dine Alone

October 18 2006

Giorgio's Bistro and Market
800 N. Ocean Drive, Hollywood, 954/929-5550, Giorgiosbakery.com

Dining solo doesn't have to make you feel like an inhabitant of the famed Edward Hopper painting "Nighthawks," where a handful of estranged diners ponder the being and nothingness of it all over a cup of joe. At Giorgio's, singles get a view of the Intracoastal Waterway during breakfast, lunch and dinner at prices that make the decision not to cook an easy one. The bistro features indoor and outdoor seating along the water and plenty of tables for two that won't leave you feeling too alone. For people who like to read while dining, Giorgio's bistro ambiance is loud enough to drown out conversations at nearby tables without distracting you from your book or magazine.
