Pasta Cinghiale Italian Baltimore

From Fells Point to the Inner Harbor, Part 2

When we last met here on the City Walker blog, we chose (ok, I chose on your behalf) to continue our walk straight down to the end of Thames Street and visit the Waterfront Kitchen, rather than hanging a right onto Caroline.

Few visitors to Fells Point would have any reason to walk east on Eastern Avenue […]

Discover Fine Eats and Drinks at Pen & Quill in Station North Baltimore

The Chesapeake Restaurant was a Baltimore institution. It was the kind of place that our parents and grandparents would go to on special occasions, to sup on lobster Thermidor and beef so tender you could “cut your steak with a fork…else tear up the check and walk out.” It opened in the 30s, expanded in […]

Plenty of Good Eats in the Station North Arts & Entertainment District

If you’re like me, you tend to get to the station more than a couple of hours before your train leaves. I don’t know why I do it; perhaps I have a latent fear of being left behind. I usually have at least one book with me, but sometimes I need to do something besides […]

Mercury and his snakes are hanging out Baltimore Local

Pappardelle, Veal and Oxtail Marmalade, Baltimore’s B & O Brasserie

A high school project that required seeking out mythological iconography in architecture is what originally led me to the B & O Railroad Building in downtown Baltimore. This H-shaped Beaux Arts structure features a larger-than-life-sized figure of Mercury, Roman god of many things including commerce, communication, and travelers. He’s holding the caduceus, a short staff […]
