New York University sociology professor Eric Kleinenberg says "One's a Crowd," as reported in The New York Times on February 5."Compared with their married counterparts," Kleinenberg writes, "single people are more likely to spend time with friends and neighbors, go to restaurants and attend art classes and lectures."
He goes on to say that being more engaged with culture and community is characteristic of single adults, elders included. If that's true, and Kleinenberg points to ample evidence, should singles be better courted by eateries, theaters, schools and recreational programs?
