Sandwich time. Work inside the Panera on the Irving Street side of DCUSA (next to IHOP) has moved really quickly. I stopped by on Saturday and spoke to a worker there who was setting up, and he said they’ll be open this Friday. The sign is up too.
Are you looking forward to it? I’ve never been but I know there are some Panera fans out there.
Here’s a couple other shots of the interior.
