“it looks like a Panera Cafe is coming to the SE corner of 12/G NW right above Metro Center and next door to the Dunkin Donuts. The pallets seen in the photo are all labeled “Panera Cafe.”

“Dear PoPville,
Just opened the Vidalia site and found this note:
Effective July 1, 2014, Vidalia will be open for dinner only! Private Dining is available during the day hours for large groups. please contact Rachel Forester at the information below for details.
As you may know, Vidalia has one of the best lunch deals in DC. I wonder if the closure is just for summer, or permanent.”
What are some other good lunch specials around town?
