“To sit outside a Paris cafe at breakfast is to observe the city as it wipes the sleep from its eyes: the soft clink of a cup and saucer, the turning of newspaper pages, the passer-by with a cigarette who asks for a light — and me, at my little round table, nibbling a speculoos, sipping my café crème.” @stephanierosenbloom, a @nytimestravel reporter, has eaten by herself in France more than anywhere else — “with the exception of my own country,” she writes. Pressed for time, Americans frequently eat by themselves at breakfast and when snacking. More than half of lunch meals are solitary. And more than 30% of Americans have dinner alone. The trend is being seen in other countries, too. “But all too often the meals we have alone are rushed and forgotten, as if they didn’t matter,” Stephanie writes. “Why shouldn’t the saying ‘la vie est trop courte pour boire du mauvais vin’ — life is too short to drink bad wine — apply, even when we sip alone?” To eat out alone, she argues, is to partake of a city. “And if you happen to be a woman, you may also be exercising a hard-won right. ‘It was impossible for a woman to go about alone,’ Virginia Woolf wrote of Jane Austen in ‘A Room of One’s Own.’ ‘She never travelled … or had luncheon in a shop by herself.’” ☕??
