Vote, then eat

This election seems to be heading for a record turnout—at restaurants and bars, that is—as voters feel the need to celebrate or commiserate with fellow voters. Morton’s The Steakhouse in Baltimore and Annapolis are opening their elegant Boardrooms to diners who want to watch the presidential results en masse on a theater-style broadcasting system.

The restaurants are offering an election night prix-fixe menu for $52.95 a person (filet mignon, shrimp, or crab cakes as entrées) and special cocktails (surprise, surprise, they’re named Republicantini, the Democratini, and the Undecided-tini). The drinks have the swanky price tag of $11.

To make reservations, call 410-547-8255 for the Baltimore Morton’s or 410-280-1170 for the Annapolis location.

If there are any other restaurants luring in voters with deals, I’d like to hear about them.
