communal tables?

The only restaurant I can think of for communal dining is Angelica Kitchen. Can anyone think of some other places that I go when I want to go out to dinner alone, but don't want to eat alone? (aside from sitting at the bar).

    Thanks so much to all who responded. I look forward to many happy solo dining meals.

          Supper on 2nd between Aves A & B is great.
          I know Frank (1st Ave btwn 5 &6) has a communal table, but they might only use is for larger parties.

                  Not positive, but I think dbBistro Moderne has a communal table.

                        Republic - Union Square, if it's busy.

                          yeah, definitely Momofuku. Salt is another one. I'd imagine Salt Bar too. Hudson Cafeteria is another.
