Hello, canadian foodie looking for ideas as to where to eat solo in Greenwich Village/SoHo and in Midtown!
Well anywhere really for starters. A few recommends from this New Yorker: Urbanspace Vanderbilt, Eataly, Coffee Shop, Sant Ambroeus, Balthazar Restaurant, Félix & L'Express. If you are splashing out, check out Eleven Madison Park Restaurant or STK Downtown.
Happy solo dining :)
Mentioned in this answer:
Todd English Food Hallis a great spot to check out if you're dining solo. After lunch, head upstairs to the Plaza Hotel Lobby for a glass of Champagne or a martini and enjoy the people watching from one of the grandest hotel lobbies in the world.
The Spotted Pig in West Village is a really good gastropub, can sit at the bar and eat / drink so it's a good solo spot in my opinion. Enjoy!
The Smile in NoHo is a great place to eat! Great farm to table cuisine.
