Only had time to get a coffee and chill for a few minutes, but the vibe seems nice. Pret a Manger is a sandwich and coffee lunch spot in downtown DC. This store is located at 11th and F Streets NW, and there is an older store at 18th and I Streets NW. All meals are prepared, packaged and "ready to eat" as the name suggests. I need to go again to fully peruse the offerings re:vegan. At first glance, there seemed to be quite a few veggie options and maybe a few vegan including fresh fruit cups and a falafel sandwich. Looking forward to going back again. Soy latte was nothing to write home about, but really cheap compared to my regular places. Can't have it all I guess.

Pret A Manger (informally known as Pret) is a sandwich retail chain based in the City of Westminster, London, United Kingdom.[1] The name comes from the French for "ready to eat", a reference to "prêt à porter" (ready-to-wear) as distinct from "bespoke".
In 2001, McDonald's bought a 33% non-controlling stake in the USA branch of the company,[3] which they sold in 2008 to private equity firm Bridgepoint Capital, owners of clothing retailer Fat Face.

STATUS CHECK: Destruction of locally owned businesses in the capital of the country? Nearly complete.
Corporatization of nation's capital continuing until destruction is complete.
I actually ride the 42 on a regular basis. The most recent ride, from Metro center, yielded a fiesta of the most bland corporate chains around. Ride it some time. You'll see nothing but cheap looking store fronts and awnings, one similar to the next. Nothing unique anymore.
Sucks.
