I'm glad you said that because that was my initial thought when I read the original post.

Unless I am really tired, I almost force myself to go out and I'm almost always glad I did. I'm fairly lucky that the places I visit always seem to have interesting places to dine at (and interesting doesn't translate into expensive per se).

Here I'll yield. If it's a matter of time or just wanting a very light snack, some lounges are perfect.
