The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 18, 2014

New York Times Social Q’s columnist Philip Galanes tackles the many difficulties of eating out—bad service, knowing how much to tip, waiting a long time for a table (even though you have a reservation), noisy children nearby, people talking on cellphones, and even bad table manners! Galanes is the author of the book Social Q's: How to Survive the Quirks, Quandaries and Quagmires of Today.
