If you’ll be dining with other people any time soon, here's an etiquette refresher course...

When it comes to dining with a group, some manners never go out of style – and some new technology manners apply...

Here are a few of each:

• Wait for everyone to be served. Resist the urge to dig in until everyone has their food. If there’s a hostess – her first bite is your cue.

• Leave the glass where it is. If you won’t be having wine, do NOT turn your glass upside down. Don't make a big deal by saying you don't drink. Simply place your fingertips on the rim of the glass and say "No, thank you." This implies no judgment of those who wish to imbibe.

• Don't text at the table. You can always excuse yourself if you need to deal with messages – but do that BEFORE reaching for your phone.

• Keep your stuff off the table. If it doesn’t have to do with food or décor, it doesn’t belong there. That goes for purses, keys, glasses and phones.
