What more could modern day, city traveling, young adults like more than a restaurant/coffee shop/bar? City Cafe, nestled neatly into Downtown Baltimore offers all these things in a modern sophistication that doesn't gouge you're wallet for every cents you have.

Steve is a human bloodhound. His first comment on any person, room, or restaurant is it’s smell. On that basis he immediately liked James Joyce. We stopped in for drinks with our friend Carrie, and before we left I too noticed the aroma of old wood and expensive cigars, a pleasant lingering smell that somehow has no relation to the noxious fumes of a burning stogie.

James Joyce is ...

I stumbled upon Uncle Wiggly's one fall afternoon driving North on York Road to Towson.  I wanted to grab a quick lunch and decided to try this quaint deli with a jovial looking chef on the sign.  I was not disappointed.

Uncle Wiggly's offers a large menu of sandwiches like The Raven and the Wiggletoni for folks to like to have their flavor combinations decided for them.  You can also design ...

To me, authentic Mexican food means what I ate with my fellow workers when I worked construction in D.C. They’d find little corner shops where potent soups of reddish orange or green bubbled, where strange colas filled the coolers and where no one spoke English.

Maybe mole sauces and enchiladas are authentic too. I’m not interested in debating what authentic means. Besides, the food I remember is pan-Latin, or most likely, knowing the makeup of ethnicities in D.C., central American. “Mexican” is a word Americans have long used to brand the sum of all of Latin America’s foods. So debate doesn’t have much of a point. But what does...

South of the SOBO skanks and pushers, at the very tip of Federal Hill in what should probably be called Port Covington, lies Rub.

Rub has cream soda on tap. It’s delicious! I could possibly place my face under that cream soda tap and drink for hours, although drinking it from the giant mason jar they serve non-acoholic beverages in is fun too. They also have their own beers ...

Ixia deserves a slightly hipper language than English. Something with more words for swank or bizarre is required, because in English it’s hard to describe how the blue walls and crystal chandeliers and paintings of dancing skeletons translate into something stylish but without the self-importance of the style-dives of Manhattan.

My date and I debated the cocktail menu until the bartenders could stand it no longer. They asked if ...

Those of us in our 20's know a thing or two about take out and delivery food. I happen to be an expert on the topic due to the fact that I am single and barely have the time to microwave something, let alone actually cook.  Baltimore county offers some great takeout. Davino's in Parkville has great subs and Italian food. Make sure to finish off your meal with the chocolate ...

If you have a love the repurposing of old spaces, then this is the shopping/dining spot for you. The Can Company, located on Boston Street in Canton, is the epitome of cool and concientious re-lifing of old space. The building was originally an old aluminum and tin can production facility, it sat mostly vacant for years.

Listed on the EPA's Smart Growth website as a space that "Fosters Distintive/Attractive Communities with a Strong Sense ...

The Brewer's Art
1106 N. Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21201

Located in the heart of Mt Vernon, The Brewer's Art remains my favorite restaurant in Baltimore. The scene is eclectic, low lighting with constantly changing artwork decorating the walls. There are two bars located on the premises but the restaurant portion of the establishment remains quiet, romantic, and conducive to a nice night on the town. The menu ...

Any Baltimore local has been to the Papermoon Diner. Open 24 hours, this landmark of Charles Village features a funky conglomoration of food and decor.

The menu hosts items ranging from vegetarian friendly items such as spinach sandwiches and portobello nachos to hearty favorites like meatloaf and pigs in a blanket (breakfast is served all day). Even the pickiest eater in your party will find something to ...
