HOW TO USE NAPKINS IN AN AMERICAN RESTAURANT?
As soon as you are seated, remove the napkin from your place setting, unfold it, and put it in
your lap. Do not shake it open. At some very formal restaurants, the waiter may do this for the
diners, but it is not inappropriate to place your own napkin in your lap, even when this is the
case. The napkin rests on the lap till the end of the meal. Do not clean the cutlery or wipe your
face with the napkin. NEVER use it to wipe your nose!
If you excuse yourself from the table, loosely fold the napkin and place it to the left or right of
your plate. Do not refold your napkin or wad it up on the table either. Never place your napkin
on your chair. At the end of the meal, leave the napkin semi-folded at the left side of the place
setting. It should not be crumpled or twisted; nor should it be folded. The napkin must also not
be left on the chair.
