Spotlight on #10: Eating Out at Restaurants with Friends
Dining out ranks solidly in the Top 10 because it:
- Creates instant connection. Food breaks the ice and fuels conversation faster than any other social setting.
- Fits any budget or mood. From casual food trucks to chef-driven kitchens, the experience scales to taste, time, and wallet.
- Delivers built-in discovery. A single restaurant introduces new flavors, cultures, and stories—mini “vacations” without the travel logistics.
