Where To Make Friends When Atlanta Feels Lonely - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Walking into a crowded place where no one knows your name might seem lonely on the surface. But stroll past the cliques at the front tables and head straight to the giant oval bar in this Buckhead Italian restaurant. From lunch to dinner, the bar is always filled with solo diners, Buckhead biz groups, and scene-chasers who want to be where the action is. Babble is the usual soundtrack at Yeppa, so don't hesitate to strike up a convo with the bartender or with a fellow bar mate while you fork through decent pasta dishes. Plus, after a few glasses of wine (there are half-priced bottles on Tuesday), the crowd tends to get extra chatty and it should be even easier to enjoy the creamy ricotta- and pork-filled tortellini with your new friends." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
