Live music, not head banging (c)rap that's so loud you can't hear yourself think, but not my mother's Lite FM either.
SoapBoxes available, where people can use them for whatever they want, read poetry or their latest literary piece, talk about whatever topic has crawled up their butt.. whatever.. as long as they have the soapbox, they have the floor.

I am painfully shy, you'd think at my age I'd get over it by now, but meeting new people is hard, I know I am not the only one, buddies (for lack of a better term) that can babysit ( for lack of a better term) til you get acclimated.
Sources of income:
Wifi access
Drinks (liquor licenses are damn expensive) Coffee is probably better, would also create a more cerebral environment - but how much profit is there in a 4 dollar latte?
Food - not just munchies but not full fledged meals either - Tapas is what I would have in mind, you can eat with your fingers, and you can carry it around with you. (this is where a lot of profit will come from)
In NY, it could be an after hours hangout - the bars close, it's a place to go and beg for a while before heading home .
Sales of Merchandise (similar to Hard Rock Cafe)
