While I love group brunches as much as the next warm-blooded gal, you can give me a corner table for one on a slow Saturday morning and I'm probably one of the happiest girls around. It's funny, dining alone has an unfair stigma -- and perhaps it's the slightly introverted Pisces in me, but I love dining out by myself every once and a while. It gives me a good chance to people watch, collect my thoughts, read a book and eat slowly (without anyone rushing or distracting me because I'm a really slow eater. It actually annoys most of my dates). And on those perfect, lingering New York mornings, it's all I need to really kick off my weekend.
