A Mid-Day Cultural Experience - Would You Skip Lunch?

So this is interesting. WaPo's Going Out Guide has put out a list of 5 things to do during lunch hour - they call it "Power Lunch", aptly named for this most powerful city.

If you can skip your sandwhich + chips any day of the week (one day? all days? It only depends on how centrally you're located and how much time you have), there are multitudinous opportunities for cultural enlightenment and just plain fun.

How many of us would rather stay in the office/cubicle for lunch when there are so many reasons to leave during lunch?

One of my favorites is
Ford's Theatre's mid-day offering: two one-act history plays focusing on the era just after President Lincoln's assassination.

I wonder how many other cities have cultural events during the day, not only accessible to tourists but also locals who need a break from the work day. It could be well worth the time to check out your favorite cultural institutions, or to find the closest
SmartBike rack to the office to take a short ride. Once the idea has been presented (or maybe you knew about it all along), how could you not be interested? There must be nearly endless possibilities.
