Now that you are divorced, it’s time to refine your skills-  or perhaps touch up on ones that are rusty. Like dining alone. It is a craft. You have to work at it to get comfortable. Marya Alexander, creator of solodining.com, says few people know how to cope with DDS -  dread of dining solo. Her website is dedicated to making you a connoisseur of eating alone. You’ll find lists of restaurants with communal dining tables, eating etiquette tips, advice on dining solo abroad and more. So if your last memories of dining with your ex give you agita, why not dine this time with a far more enjoyable companion? Yourself. Next time you pass Le Bernardin, slip inside and announce: “table for one please.”
