I must have eaten $100 worth of those oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in a couple of years.<br /><br />I wonder why neither of those chains has made any inroads down here. There are dozens of empty storefronts in downtown and midtown they could open in. There's also a McDonald's on the Marietta Street side of Five Points and another one on the Alabama Street side. Can we trade one of those in for a Potbelly or Cosi? <br /><br />The quality and freshness of a lot of the food at ABP declined in just the few years I was in/around DC. It used to be that if you ordered a sandwich or salad it was always made to order. Now some of those items are prepared ahead of time and sitting in a refrigerated case. <br /><br />I still love the soups at ABP, though. Most lunches you can get for $5 these days are barely edible, but you could get a big bowl of really good soup and fresh bread for that much at ABP.PedestriAnnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-26845872625684227192013-01-09T20:02:31.357-05:002013-01-09T20:02:31.357-05:00Cosi and Potbelly.

I'd love some of Cosi's great bread and a good salad, and a sub and oatmeal chocolate chip cookie from Potbelly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-87314591038283631642013-01-09T11:55:20.723-05:002013-01-09T11:55:20.723-05:00I don't understand why Au Bon Pain would have ...I don't understand why Au Bon Pain would have been 'evicted' from Allen Plaza. Were they not paying their bills? I thought the idea was to attract businesses to a downtown that is sorelylacking in activity and decent dining options. The Au Bon Pain space in Allen Plaza is once again vacant as the gourmet sandwich shop that came in after it is also gone. Were they evicted? Seems like the city is really behind the 8 ball in attracting any decent places downtown. Vacant storefronts litter Peachtree Street, even next to the Hooters. Seems like complete incompetance on the city's part to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
