Choosing a Restaurant
Some restaurants are open for breakfast; others are open twenty-four hours a day. A number of restaurants call themselves “family restaurants”. Many of these serve no alcohol and have fairly restricted menus which include steaks, hamburgers, omelets and sandwiches, and all are at very reasonable prices. They may also serve smaller and cheaper children’s portions. Note that many American restaurants are “specialty” restaurants. They may serve only, or mainly, steaks, sea food, etc.
When to Eat
Many restaurants, especially the more expensive ones, open at about 11:30 a.m. (midday, rather than 1 p.m., is the most normal time for lunch in the USA), and some remain open until the evening, so it is possible to order a meal throughout the afternoon. In many areas, it is usual for people to leave work and go out for an evening male at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., rather than waiting until later.
Reserving a Table
Eating out is rather popular in the USA, and it is often necessary to make a reservation. You will sometimes see short lines of people waiting for tables at restaurants- it is more pleasant to wait in the bar, of course, if there is one- but in fact the lines move very quickly.
Arriving at the Restaurant
When you arrive at most restaurants, you should not just go in and sit down- unless you see a sign, saying “Please seat yourself”. Usually you will have to wait for a “host” or “hostess” to lead you to a table. Often there will be a sign that reads, “Please wait to be seated”. Do not expect to share a table with other parties, even if the restaurant is crowded. It is just not done.

A.hamburgers

Good Table Manners
Manners play an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table. Here are some general rules:
Napkin(餐巾)use
The meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin. This is your signal to do the same, so place your napkin on your lap. Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin, or in half, lengthwise(纵向地), if it is a large dinner napkin.
If you need to leave the table during the meal, place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning. Once the meal is over, place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate. Do not refold it.
Use a napkin only for your mouth. Never use it for your nose, face or forehead.
Use of utensils(餐具)
Start with the knife, fork or spoon furthest from your plate, and work your way in, using one utensil for each course.
If soup is served, remember to spoon away from yourself. This helps stop the drips. Do not put the entire soup spoon in your mouth. Instead, fill a soup spoon about 75 per cent with soup, and sip(啜饮)it from the side noiselessly.
After finishing dinner, place the knife and fork parallel to one another across the plate with the knife blade facing inward toward the plate.
Using your fingers
Here's a list of finger foods: sandwiches, cookies, small fruits or berries with stems, French fries and potato chips, and hamburgers.
Chew(咀嚼)with your mouth closed and don't make noise; don't talk with your mouth full.
Bread must be broken with your hands. It is never cut with a knife.
Don't pick something out of your teeth. Instead, excuse yourself to the bathroom.
If possible, try not to cough at the table.
Do not put your elbows(肘)on the table. In France, it is essential to have both hands above the table at the same time.
Do not put bones or anything else on the table. Things that are not eaten should be put on your plate.
Where is the napkin normally placed during the meal?
A.On your chair.
B.On the table.
C.On your lap.
D.On your plate.

As you scan your list of conversation topics, the man across the table asks about your hobbies. From there, the conversation naturally flows back and forth from your interests to his interests to your job to his job. You are both careful not to ask questions that are too personal. Then the bell rings again. It's time to move on. As you make your way to the next table, you quickly mark your date card. You write the man's name on the card. Under thequestion "Would you like to meet again for a real date?", you mark "yes." Then you take a seat for your next date.
This is the latest way for single people to meet other people they might like to date without pressure. Many businesses offering speed dating services have become popular. These businesses organize events where participants can have dozens of quick dates all on the same night. Each speed date is less than ten minutes, and some services limit each date to only three minutes. This gives people just enough time to make an impression, so that each person in the "date" can decide if they want to meet the other again. If both people mark "yes" on the date card, the service will arrange for the people to contact one another to arrange a real date.The idea for speed dating came from Yaacov Deyo of Los Angles. In 1999, he wanted to provide an alternative way for his students to get together other than using blind dates arranged through family or friends. His speed dating idea was so successful that it quickly spread to other communities across the United States. However, like any date, speed dating does not always work out.
