Sometimes there is no greater pleasure than being alone in the company of others, and I often find an easy way to achieve that is to dine out by myself. Miga‘s bar is the ideal spot for this: It’s stylish, the bartenders aren’t annoying, and you don’t have to look at anyone else if you don’t want to.
Right now Miga has a special gin and tonic cocktail with ginger and kumquat ($11). It’s the perfect drink for solo dining because it’s refreshing and interesting, but not so strong that you’ll be too wasted to drive yourself home.
My vegetarian meal of choice at Miga right now is the house salad ($8), and the Gim Bab “sushi” roll ($18): radish, spinach, seaweed salad, tofu, cucumber, avocado, red pepper, carrot topped with fried spinach. It’s pretty tasty, and a fun way to eat some veggies. You’ll feel virtuous because you’ve eaten a bunch of vegetables, and not too full that you regret everything.
Grab a book or a tablet and take yourself on a date to Miga; it’ll be worth it.
