The New and Familiar

New restaurants are striving to look like (and to be) community institutions, reflecting old-style pubs, meeting halls and marketplaces.

"Seattle's Corson Building, as much a social experiment as an eating establishment (the Web site describes it as 'a home, a restaurant, and a community'), may represent the height of the trend.

Writers Kristi Cameron, Belinda Lanks & Martin C. Pedersen also look at restaurants following this trend in San Francisco, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Fort Worth.
