Spooky season is truly upon us!
An all too familiar phenomenon when it comes to dating amidst the popularity of social media is “ghosting.” This is the act of avoiding someone you’re dating or attempting to date on social media. Ghosting can be in the form of blocking, soft-blocking, or just not replying.

Being ghosted can be a difficult time or it can be just another day for dating game veterans. And while we could just slap the 11 Restaurants in the Metro Perfect for Eating Alone article and call it a day, that isn’t enough.
We’ll be trying to capture the different eating (and drinking) habits of someone who just got ghosted. So read on for the 10 places to eat after being ghosted, from bars to cinemas, speakeasies, Japanese restaurants, and more!
If you don’t want to be seen crying
Pound x Flatterie
With Pound leaning more into selling chicken wings, they have recently introduced hot sauces to pair up with the wings. Blame the falling tears on the heat of the sauces instead of the ghost!
We recommend trying the signature burgers and fries, as well as the chicken wings!
INT. Bar
If you do not want to masquerade the tears but instead want to hide them, then the dimly lit INT.Bar is a great place to shed some tears while having a drink. Order a cocktail of your choosing or ask the bartender for one that they think suits you best.

When you want to rant to your friend
Flossom Kitchen + Cafe
Brunch is best for chismis and catching up, making this San Juan cafe the best place to go to. Flossom Kitchen offers comfort food made to warm the heart like the English breakfast, angus salisbury, and more.
It also has a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that might just cheer you up.

Mendokoro Ramenba
What better way to rant to your friend than in front of a warm bowl of soup? Enjoy the comfort of Mendokoro’s shoyu ramen as you rant away to your friend! No worries about eavesdroppers as the restaurant is always full!
Vault
A popular hidden bar, Vault is a great place to release some well-deserved frustration away from prying eyes. Vault also has dart boards for you and your friend to play or to take out some frustration on an inanimate object.
We recommend trying the mushroom chicharrones, pork sisig, and bacon and quail egg skewers!

When you want to meet someone new
Zion-1
If you got ghosted, or worse, flaked on; and you’re already in BGC, why not go to Zion near the Grand Canal Mall? This BGC bar is pretty intimate and features east asian cyberpunk, Blade Runner-esque aesthetics. Enjoy a cold glass of beer while chowing down on some katsu bites!

Cubao Expo is generally a place to meet people from all walks of life and Tacio’s is one of the restaurants in the area for you to get a good drink and food that’s both delicious and affordable.
Try the cajun chicken breast, cheeseburger and fries, and the steak street tacos!
