I do try to circumvent this in unfamiliar places by either a) using OpenTable to search for restaurants accepting reservations for 1 vs 2 or b) Letting the hostess know I am willing to sit in the bar area provided it's nonsmoking and offers full menu service. I usually have my Kindle or iPad with me and often use that time to catch up on social media, magazine reading, or light emails.

Oh boo hoo. That's the whole point of this thread!! Don't let them shunt you to the bar...the waiter's paycheck is not your problem. If you want a booth, you should get one. If you really feel bad, then go at an odd time of the day.

Go solo!!! Great way to meet people who like the same thing you do.
