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.
Greektown: Samos
In Greektown, just north of Canton, there is an abundance of Greek restaurants (duh), but only one of them offers a whole menu tour of their Greek offerings. A friend heard about Samos offering their ‘Tour of Samos’ and figured it would be the perfect group outing. After […]
Mount Vernon: Crepes by Mina
A friend and I were grabbing a drink after work at the new Mount Vernon Marketplace and decided to also get a bit to eat. Of the plenty of delicious looking vendors in the marketplace, Crepes by Mina was serving some delicious looking crepes. They had sweet and savory […]
Annapolis: Sammy’s Italian Pizza Kitchen
In Annapolis, if you’re craving Italian food, chances you aren’t going to head to an unsuspecting strip mall and try your luck. There are plenty of spots on Main St. that deserve your attention. However, a friend suggested trying Sammy’s Italian Pizza Kitchen in Eastport and I did not […]
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 […]
Federal Hill: Wiley Gunter’s
In Federal Hill, there’s no shortage of bars. There is however a shortage of buffalo chicken dip and when you have the craving, there is no substitute that can really satisfy you. A friend and I were going for happy hour and because I had the buffalo chicken dip […]
Fells Point: Slainte
Some friends from college and I were meeting for brunch and decided to try out Slainte in Fells Point. Mainly, because it was recently on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. But also because I love corned beef hash, and I would guess that an Irish Pub would make a better […]
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 […]
