THIRD PLACES

YOU CAN JUDGE THE QUALITY OF A CITY BY ITS NUMBER OF THIRD PLACES



Third Places are the essence of life.

They are comfortable, familiar, warm and fun.

They are NOT your home – that is the first place.

They are NOT your work – that is the second place.

Third Places are locations where social, vibrant activity takes place.

Famous television Third Places include the Arnold’s diner on Happy Days, Cheers bar on Cheers and Central Perk on Friends.

But a Third Place doesn’t even have to cost you the price of a burger, mug of beer or cup of Joe.

A Third Place can be Domino Park in Miami’s Little Havana, the urban green market in New York’s Union Square or scenic Mirror Lake in the center of the giant Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio.
