Alone in AC

[Kim WB]

I don't like AC. I don't gamble. I hate smoke. And velour sweat suits.

On that positive note , I will be there Tues and Wed evening, at the Real Estate Convention. One coworker canceled, and another is coming down a day later. So I am solo. Days will be filled with continuing Ed classes. I am staying at the Sheraton.

I don't want to travel far..no whitehouse subs, not roughing it. Looking for nearby alternatives and upgrades to hotel fare. Price not an option. Suggestions with bars that are comfortable to eat at very much appreciated..I think eating at a bar alone is preferable to eating at a table alone.

My option is to watch sappy Christmas movies and order room service. I love those little fat ketchup bottles. This is not a bad option, actually. I'm really leaning towards it. Maybe a bit of ebay surfing, a nice Cabernet...

Yes, there are the social networking drinkfests in the evenings..been there, done that, not in the frame of mind for such due to some personal stuff going on right now.

Look forward to your suggestions, thanks.

I ate at the bar at Suilan a few years ago and had a great meal. The service staff made me feel very comfortable.

The suggestion of Suilan is a good one, but I thought you'd mentioned having dined at the Susanna Foo in Philly before, so that might not be new ground for you.

The Borgata also has the new-ish Bobby Flay Steaks, Michael Mina's Seablue, Wolfgang Puck's American Grille, and Luke Palladino's Specchio.

Personally, I think the signature dish at Seablue, the Lobster Pot Pie, and a few nice glasses of Viognier or a nice white Burgundy would be the way I'd spend my evening. I haven't had it personally, but I'm told it's crazy delicious. It sounds like the perfect cross between haute cuisine and comfort food to me, and with the right wine on the side, a fabulous dinner that couldn't be replicated elsewhere.

dock's oyster house has decent food, a very good wine list (priced fairly, think about 1.5 times retail), a smallish but comfortable bar. i would go there and eat at the bar have decent wine and oysters. the website is www.docksoysterhouse.com

I'd second Dock's but the bar is the same as the waiting area, and if they are busy it can be very crowded and not condusive to a leasurely/relaxed meal.

If not room service is there a 'food taxi' service that might bring in outside food for you? Don't know....

thank you for taking the time to reply. Yesterday, I ate at Ruth Chris...easy, convenient, around the corner from the hotel. I was watching Jennifer Aniston's "The Breakup" by 8:30...Tonite I am joining a small group at Flay's, although to be honest I would prefer to try Mina's Seablue. But while last night was perfectly enjoyable, even the best meal is missing something without companionship, so I am following the preferred consensus of the group. Thanks again.
