There are many local places that have free wifi, so it seems silly to
go some place that doesn't.  I found this list, not sure how
up-to-date it is:

http://www.cuwin.net/hotspots

If we're looking for a place that has decent dinner-time food, then
these look like good choices: Panera Bread (either location), Pekara,
Za's (campus only).  Maybe Cafe Paradiso, I'm not sure of what exactly
they server and what their hours are.  (Actually, for any of these
places we should probably check what their hours are, especially this
time of year.)  Some other places that might be possibilities, but I'm
not familiar with them: Blind Pig, Guido's.  If food is not a
requirement, a number of other places become options (although I
prefer food :-).

I did consider how conducive these places are for some kind of "talk"
(e.g., in terms of having enough space and tables), although not to
the point of having a projector and/or somewhere to project onto.  Not
sure any place meets that requirement.
