How the Occidental Restaurant played a part in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis:

"President Kennedy spoke these words during a televised address on October 22, 1962, as he informed American citizens of Soviet missile sites in Cuba. He didn’t know at the time that the months-long scare he was referring to would be over just six days later. Four days after JFK’s speech, two men sat down to lunch at the Occidental Restaurant located two blocks from the White House. One ordered a pork chop and the other crab cakes. Despite how it may seem, this was no ordinary lunch. In fact, it is considered to have played a major role in ending the Cuban Missile Crisis". Full story available online: Boundary Stones-WETA.
