For the last year or so, I’ve been taking City Walker readers on fairly lengthy walking tours of various Baltimore neighborhoods, Hampden being the most recent. I feel it might be time for something shorter as a palate cleanser: a listicle. I’m going to hazard a guess that most visitors to Charm City are staying […]
We’re back to walking down Hampden’s “Avenue,” otherwise known as 36th Street, and coming to its end. That is, while the road itself continues on for another quarter mile or so, the 1100 block is the last with any notable restaurants. My favorite Hampden shop, Caravanserai, is on this block, too. Purveyors of goods from […]
You don’t have to spend an entire paycheck in order to eat an incredible meal in Washington, DC. The district has spawned a host of successful fast-casual eateries from sweetgreen, District Taco, &Pizza, CAVA and is also home to affordable restaurants that have practically become institutions in the city. Next week we are adding Bargain […]
I’m going to let you in on a secret: I am not a New Yorker. However, I visit on business (and occasionally pleasure) several times a year and always try to stay in the same hotel. Or at least in the same neighborhood–Koreatown. This little one-block square area in Midtown Manhattan runs from 5th Avenue […]
While the 800 block of 36th Street, aka Hampden’s “Avenue,” is fairly packed with restaurants and shops, the 900 block seems a bit spartan by comparison. There are a couple of major contenders for your dining dollars, however. The first of these is Five and Dime Ale House, which bills itself as a “new take […]
I’m somewhat jealous of the folks who live in Hampden. Not that the homes there are particularly spectacular; most are small and all are packed together with not nearly enough parking spaces to go around. What makes Hampden great is that there’s always something going on, from Summer’s HONFest, to Hampdenfest in the Fall, to […]
In November of 2012, Chef Kevin Perry and his wife Cecilia Benalcazar opened Liv2Eat to high praise from local foodies and restaurant critics, even winning the 2013 “Best New Restaurant” award from the Baltimore City Paper. In just a few short years, Perry and Benalcazar shuttered their restaurant….but only briefly. They opened a few weeks […]
Tahoe, one of the best ski destinations, is famous not only for its spectacular slopes and terrains, but also the fun and intriguing relaxation spots. After enjoying the beautiful and scenic mountain views and terrains, you can unwind at any of the serene lodges that offer fine dining, dancing and other exciting activities. Your evening […]
This week’s installment of our tour through Federal Hill and South Baltimore will be more similar to the way Baltimore locals scout out dining options, with one exception: locals live here. So we already know where all the good eats can be found. But you, intrepid traveler, probably have no idea that there are some […]
While the largest concentration of restaurants in the neighborhood known as Federal Hill is within a few blocks of Federal Hill itself, there are still plenty more in the surrounding area, which will be explored in upcoming posts. We’ll start today on Charles Street, just west of Cross Street Market, where there are several restaurants […]
