Is the industry of ideas gaining momentum?

I wish there was a place like this in Cambridge. Anyone else agree that mornings are best for creativity, ideas, and big transformational shifts?Breakfast Is Late, So Business Is Good: "For the late-rising professions, the networking site of choice is a cafe with a Continental vibe."
Drawn from the self-employed ranks of late-rising professions like fashion, art, publicity and Web publishing, these affluent breakfast clubbers avoid Starbucks as too common, preferring locales where it is not unusual to see black S.U.V.’s and chauffeured BMW’s idling outside..... Habitués say table-hopping and small talk are easier in the morning, in a sunny corner of a clubby cafe. “I talk to people at breakfast that I might never otherwise talk to,” said Steven Shailor, an interior designer seated at the communal table at Cafe Cluny on a Tuesday last month at 11 a.m. “It’s like an unspoken camaraderie. It’s about making the choice of not having to be in an office by 9 a.m. and you’re going to meet other like-minded people — idea people.”
