Laugh of the Day: A Reader Predicts a 30-Story Restaurant Coming to Cambridge's Kendall Square

With all of the new dining spots coming to Cambridge's Kendall Square, it seems to have gone from a completely restaurant-poor neighborhood to an area that now rivals Moody Street in Waltham or parts of Boston's North End or South End. So what's next for Kendall Square? Well, with all of the huge buildings housing high-tech and biotech companies, one of our regular readers on Twitter suggests that a 30-story restaurant might be the next big thing (no pun intended).

So the question is, has anything like this ever been done anywhere? And what would the setup be like? Would the first 10 floors be dedicated to dining, with the top 20 floors being set aside for cocktails, music, and dancing? Would there be a roofdeck, or would that be overkill? Or would most of the floors be taken out, making for an atrium of almost biblical proportions?

Thanks to our Twitter friend for this totally off-the-wall (but oddly appealing) idea.
