Caesar Salad

Mount Vernon: Trinacria

If you ask around for the best Italian deli in Baltimore, you will find two different types of people. People who are team Di Pasquales, and people who are team Trinacria. Di Pasquales is in Highlandtown and Trinacria is in Mount Vernon; I’ve already fallen in love with Di Pasquales but Mount Vernon is a little closer […]

Plates at Alma Cocina Latina

Canton: Alma Cocina Latina

Since Alma Cocina Latina opened in Canton I have been dying to try it out. The images I’ve seen of the food look amazing and everyone raves about their arepas (rightfully so). Due to a variety of factors I never quite made it over to Alma Cocina Latina until last weekend. […]

My friend loves Our House which serves the same style of pizza as Matthew’s. In an effort to […]

Soft Pretzels

Fells Point: Slainte

Pastry Case

Hamilton: Fenwick Bakery

A friend and I were craving donuts, but not the type of donuts that are handcrafted in a hipster paradise. We wanted the type of donuts from a bakery that has been in business for decades and changed hands from one family member to another. A quick search brought me […]
