Le Pain Quotidien
Nice clean place for a lunch. Definitely not a place to sit and dine in for a quick meal.
We went to the register, and they told us dine-in is self seated and a waiter will be with us shortly. We got to our table but didn't see a waiter until maybe 7 minutes after sitting down. We were kinda lost in conversation about the days itinerary.
Once she approached us,nshe handed us menus to look over. We waited another 15 minutes for her to make her way back. We were ready to order drinks and meal.
We got the lentil soup out first. Which is okay if you want it as plain as possible. Seriously why are placed afraid to use even the bare minimum of salt?
The grain bowl was delicious. Definitely a flavor blast of everything. Sweet from the cranberries, a little sour from the pickled veggies, etc.
The avocado bacon egg sandwich was okay, the egg was fried in too much oil for my preference. An egg should not be dripping oil that much. But it wasn't bad.

FDR Memorial Stone
Great memorial showcasing all 4 terms of FDR's presidency. There is also a memorial for his wife Eleanor Roosevelt, which k believe is to be the only memorial for a first lady.
It has many notes on history if you like reading up. And quite of bit of statues and water features. It sits on the edge of the basin which makes for a great afternoon/evening walk.
It's all outdoors, so be prepared accordingly.

Porters Western Saloon
This review is actually for the bar that is above Porters, called The Post (which I'm sure are owned by the same person, and to get to the Post, you have to go through Porters security.
The Post is more of a whiskey bar, specializing in rarer seen cocktails.
Cool place. Above all the noise from downstairs, while still maintaining some ambiance. Very relaxed. Almost secretive, and the sign advertising this place isn't all that large. It's a sidewalk sign behind Porters' security.
Once you upstairs via the exterior staircase it's starkly different.
The bartender was even able to make a boulevardier, which not many places have the ingredients for, or don't know how to make it.
