Are You a Regular at a Local Bar?

I am a creature of habit.

I am a creature of habit. I take comfort in routine and familiar things. Thus, when I find something I like, for example a bar or restaurant, I frequent it over and over again. That's how I've become a regular at my favorite bar, located in San Francisco's North Beach district, 15 Romolo. It's nice to go someplace where everyone knows your name. Am I alone? Or do you have a special place you head to for drinks?

Are You A Regular Anywhere?

It's recently come to my attention that I've been to very few restaurants more than three times.

It's recently come to my attention that I've been to very few restaurants more than three times. Personally I love trying new things and have yet to find that place that is like a second home. However some folks don't like exploring and really enjoy going to the same place over and over again.

Recently, British newspaper The Guardian ran an article about folks who are "regulars." Included in it was the story of Mary and Lee Humphrey, an elderly couple that's been eating at their McDonald's every weekday for the last 17 years.

We call it "the office" now and our relatives will ask us how the office is and have a little joke about it. We almost have our own table and if someone else is sitting there then, oh boy, I have to sit somewhere else and I feel like I'm lost. We never go to any other restaurants, you'll never see us anywhere else.

On one hand I'd love to find a place that I could visit everyday and have my own seat. Yet on the other hand I love trying new places that I'm not sure I would ever allow myself to find that perfect place! How about you guys, are you a regular anywhere?
