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.

If you sit in a hotel lobby long enough, most properties will eventually kick you out. You can usually get away with it during the day, but you'll start to stick out more the later in the day it gets. At night, the night auditor probably won't even let you in the front door.

Pretend like you belong there if you do need to hang out in a lobby for a while, and don't make a mess.
