"Seasoned solo diners relish in the joys of polishing off a multi-course meal in solitude. But newbie solo eaters might need to ease into this new style of dining. And Yeppa and Co. is the ideal place to start. Winding through tables where everyone looks like they’re from a reboot of Gossip Girl is at first intimidating. But within minutes of snagging a seat at the giant oval bar, the bartender or a fellow bar sitter will strike up a convo with you. Maybe it's because everyone has had a few glasses of Aperidiva Spritz, but Yeppa's bartop diners generally seem to be an extra chatty variety, so it’s easy to enjoy creamy ricotta- and pork-filled tortellini with your newfound bar friend who you’ll never see again.
