The chef, cookbook author, and television host has teamed up with Staybridge Suites to share tips on traveling and dining solo. His tips include ordering the tasting menu, which allows solo travelers to try a range of dishes specially prepared for one, and talking to the hotel concierge to get recommendations on hot tables.
Some delicious destinations for solo travelers on G. Garvin's list include Chinatown in San Francisco, Chelsea Market in New York City, Brazil for its small plates, and Peru for ceviche and carpaccio.
