The classic example is libraries, but ideally I’m thinking of places you can have a conversation.
Interested in types of places (“libraries”) or specific places. Growing up we would wander around the local grocery store which was open 24 hours.
Third spaces. Capitalism doesn’t like these as they don’t generate a profit. So there aren’t many left.
Libraries, parks, anything publicly owned and accessible.
There are some privately owned third spaces, like the inside of malls. But that’s about it I think.
Most public libraries aren’t the stereotypical “shhhh” environment you may remember. Go visit your local library and try it.

IKEA. Just sit on the sofas and hang out
Caves. There are caves all over the place. Bring a gun in case there is a bear.
Abandoned buildings.
Freeway overpasses.
The sewers.
Subway/train/bus stations.
Basically anywhere you find a lot of homeless people.
