I'm hoping you are being sarcastic because there is street parking on Green Street for the incredibly lazy people who refuse to walk 30 feet from the orange line station.

I think a diner is a great idea for that spot.

I've always liked this location as a meeting place -- I've met up with friends who live in JP, and it's convenient for me via bike or orange line.

My ideal place would have wifi, like a Starbucks but not as crowded, good food, friendly, with coffee and tea,.... It should be crowded enough for the owners to make a profit but not vie-for-a-seat crowded like Starbucks.

Perfect spot to sell practical things to people emerging from the Orange line on their way home after work - some sort of semi-upscale packie/bodega hybrid would be ideal.

To be honest, I'm surprised that this idea isn't the one that the landlord is going with, but there is a pretty good sized bodega just a few mins from Green St (Green St Supermarket). I pop and in out of there a lot.

There won't be a lot of conversation when everyone is zoned out in their Facebook/Google +/Ebay/Twitter/Kic/infinite world of distracting websites.

For developing complete and whole human connections there is only one method. It is proven time and again to be most efficient and effective. It's not a fool proof method because human beings are not full proof. But for the sake of best probability for success it is the number one choice. Face to face conversations. Without cell phones on the table. Without checking social media. Just looking each other eye to eye and talking.

Totally agree about the need to put down phones/tablets and talk to people face to face.

Maybe I'm about ten years behind the rest of the world, but I'm still in the mode of the independent professional who uses a laptop to work; and will sit in a restaurant or coffee shop to work in a congenial atmosphere. Wi-fi in a restaurant or coffee shop is also good for reviewing projects/websites with another person. But then there's also a time to put the devices away and enjoy food and conversation.

I guess it depends on the type of restaurant and the flow of customers.
