But, honestly, to answer the main question, when it comes to non-diner restaurants, there's really nowhere you can't go in the WV as a single. It's a little awkward if you're doing a lengthy tasting menu, but otherwise, no one's going to stare at you

It's not a big deal for a single person to go out to lunch or dinner on their own in most places in the city. That's the beauty of the city. No one will give you a sideways glance if you're just doing your thing and going about your business, and it's anyone's city. You just fit right in.
I went to the Broome Street Bar with my assistant when I was working temporarily in the neighborhood in 2014. I went back another time by myself because I liked it and wanted one of their burgers.
Yes, it occurred to me that a more realistic question would have been "Are there any restaurants or diners in the area where a person dining solo would NOT be comfortable?"
Re Danny Meyer, I went to a wine-tasting fundraiser dinner for work a few months ago at Manhatta ($1500 a person, I didn't have to pay, of course, or I wouldn't have gone). The views are gorgeous, especially at sunset, and the food and wine was fantastic (as it had better be for $1500!) and Danny Meyer made an appearance and gave a short welcome. I took his pic with my phone and sent it to my daughter, whose bf is a chef. He gets man crushes on famous chefs, and she texted back that he said, "OMG, your mother is WITH HIM?" LOL. Well, we were in the same room...
"NYC may be the best city in the country for being nice to lone diners. So take your pick."
Why do you think it is the best city in the country for being nice to lone diners?
