Anna’s take: Porter Books and Bread is one of my favorite places for lunch. It features stacks of books, exposed bricks and even a winding, metal staircase — all in a historic building at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Lawrence. I ordered the Vonnegut Sandwich because Hoosier Kurt Vonnegut is by far one of my favorite writers. This sandwich stacks city ham, smoked turkey, a kosher pickle and slaw on house-made focaccia bread smeared with Dijon and garlic/black pepper mayo. I opted for the half size, and it was still very filling.

Suggested pairings: Whenever I visit Porter Books and Bread, I always order “Unlimited refills” coffee because I’m typically there for a few hours. Also, order a chocolate chip cookie and the spicy Broad Ripple Chip Co. potato chips.
