What exactly is a

If your home is your first space, and work is your second space, wherever it is that you go to socialize and connect with your community is your third space. Typically and historically, these locations offer food and drink that is low priced and accessible to a wide variety of individuals across the socio-economic spectrum, leveling the playing field and giving folks a concrete reason to go, even if they end up staying for the people and the place itself.
Still unclear? Here are some examples of third spaces in history and popular media:






The agoras of
ancient Greece
and Rome
The teahouses
of the Eastern
world


The
Double R Diner
from
"Twin Peaks"


Central Perk
from
"Friends"
And the epitome of all third spaces, the place where everybody knows your name, the bar from Cheers.
