Panera is another well-known chain around the country. Their biggest draw right now is that they offer free wireless internet connections, so you often see people in there working. Panera sells newspapers, and is open from early morning to about 8:30 PM. They have gourmet coffee and tea drinks, and are known for their soups and sandwiches, and their gorgeous salads. They also have bagels of about 15 varieties, and many sweet treats to choose from. I love their soup which is served with their trademark sourdough roll. This is a great place to stop and eat.
