Annapolis: Grumps Cafe
A friend and I had breakfast plans in Annapolis. I live in Baltimore, so I left the restaurant choice up to her. The only requirement? It couldn’t suck. She had been wanting to try Grump’s Cafe, of course I was game.
Belvedere Square: Tooloulou
Unfortunately, Tooloulou is now closed. Belvedere Square is one of my favorite places to stop for lunch. The market is always bustling with patrons at the many vendors and there are so many options! On this particular day the sandwiches at Tooloulou were exactly what I was craving.
Highlandtown: Matthew’s Pizza
If you ask around for the best pizza in Baltimore, I’m sure more than one person will mention Matthew’s Pizza in Highlandtown. Matthew’s has been a city institution since 1943 serving old-world (deep dish) style pizza. My friend loves Our House which serves the same style of pizza as Matthew’s. In an effort to […]
Hampden: Souvlaki
I’m not going to lie – I was slightly disappointed by the lack of cheese in the Spanakopita at Hickory Ridge Grill. I was definitely craving a better rendition of the dish. My roommate and I were in Hampden and we were both hungry in the middle of the […]
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 […]
Canton: Pie 360
Update: Pie 360 is now closed. I’ve been to Coal Fire Pizza in Columbia a handful of times and I always love what I have. When I heard the group behind Coal Fire was opening a make your own pizza place in Canton, I was thrilled. Pie 360 […]
Mount Vernon: Minato Sushi
I was meeting a friend for dinner in Mount Vernon and we were both craving sushi. Minato is only a quick walk from her apartment so we decided to check it out. I had heard the vibe was a lot more casual than XS which was exactly what […]
Federal Hill: 3 Bean
There’s no shortage of coffee shops in Baltimore, that’s for sure. However, for the most part they’re located in Hampden or Mount Vernon, unfortunately, there are very few in Federal Hill. Fortunately for me, 3 Bean Coffee just opened in Federal Hill and they brew Counter Culture Coffee which is […]
Locust Point: Southside Diner
My friend and I were in the mood for brunch on a recent Sunday morning. We were looking for something we could walk to and I was craving eggs. We decided to check out Southside Diner in Locust Point because they specialize in all-day breakfast. The fact that they specialize […]
Canton: La Tolteca
Update: La Tolteca is now closed I have a group of friends that really enjoys Mexican Food. To the point where I think whenever we get together, it is for tacos, burritos, or something of the like. I had heard mixed reviews about La Tolteca in Canton but it was […]
