C – When I lived in London, a great little bakery/cafe/restaurant called Le Pain Quotidien (The Daily Bread) opened up around the corner from my flat in Borough Market. Though it was a part of a chain, it blended into the historical surroundings beautifully. Like it had always been there. I used to grab a salad on my way home from work and I met friends there for Saturday morning coffee after a stroll through the market. Sitting at one for the communal tables, I got a sense that this was not your typical fast cuisine. It was a neighborhood hang.
I missed Le Pain Quotidien when I moved back to DC… for about 10 minutes. That’s when I found out they’re all over the Metro DC area. I went to the one at the Mosaic District recently and had, perhaps, the best organic omelet ever. I was feeling quite healthy. Then I tore into the cheesecake. mmm.
