How about a place where you can go to get food and socialize with people without being required to buy something? A bar, but for those who don't want to drink. A coffee shop for those who don't want to pay 3 dollars for burned coffee. A library where you're allowed to eat. A park where it's okay to hang out and talk to strangers even if you're an adult and don't have a kid or dog with you.

I've never been to a bar where I was required to buy something.
Maybe you haven’t been to a bar that has kicked you out for not buying something, but you have certainly been to a bar that wishes you weren’t there not buying stuff. If you think you haven’t, well...
Except that's not what we're talking about, and even if it were, who cares what they wish - I'm there to socialize with friends, not employees.
How about it! Sounds good to me
An enclosed city park, in other words, only magically without creeps and assholes?
