Weekly Plot Help - Week of November 10th

Got a problem in your NaNo? Who doesn't?! But we've got a way to help!

Post here with your plot problems, and all through the week members of the community will scan through and see if they can help.

AKA - The best way to procrastinate is to help others!

So post your problem. Then take a moment to look at everyone else's and see if you can help them.

People helping people. That's what makes this community great :)

So have at it!

A lot of my novel takes place in two major cities, and in those major cities, a lot of the action takes place in restaurants. I'm running out of ideas for places to have MCs meet, so... if anyone could give me ideas for reasonably simple types of restaurants/bars/night-clubs/etc., that would be great. It can't be anything too fancy for my MCs, but classy places would work great for my villains, so really, anything goes. Names for the restaurants would also be awesome. :)

Private Gentlemen's Club for those oh-so-classy villains, maybe? This isn't the 'strip club' variety, more of the 'elitist' London type (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_London%27s_gentlemen%27s_clubs).

In every town, there's a Franks (usually a bar & grill). Your "Frank's" could be a hot-dog place, if you're so inclined.

Chowder House is a good name for a casual place.

For your MCs, Irish Pubs are always fun. So are 50s style ice cream parlors. And you can't go wrong with a hole-in-the-wall Italian or Asian place.

For your villains, you could send them to one of those fancy revolving restaurants that are usually on the top floors of skyscrapers.
