...so little time. As some of you may know, Thursday was the start of the city's 1st annual Baltimore Beer Week. Basically what that means is, from October 8-18, there are a plethora of tastings, specials, and events designed to celebrate "all things beer in the Land of Pleasant Living."
While it's impossible to check out [...]

Primarily know as the ceviche and tapas restaurant that opened in Harbor East in May, Talara surprisingly also has a spirited (and inexpensive!) nightlife scene. Described by general manager Nick Rizzo as "old South Beach," Talara's decor includes brightly colored walls and Cuban-inspired artwork. This vibe is also carried over into the bar area, with [...]

On my way to the new Blue Hill Tavern last night, I felt like I was going to see a movie that everyone has lauded as Oscar-worthy. I've heard from a number of different people that the food is impeccable, the drinks are a lot of fun, and the space is just downright beautiful. So [...]

The new B&O American Brasserie restaurant, which just opened July 30, is nowhere near the B&O Railroad Museum, which might confuse some. In fact, the restaurant is fittingly located in the original B&O Headquarters at the intersection of Charles and Baltimore streets, smack dab in the middle of downtown. Last night, I attended a beverage [...]

This past weekend I traveled to Atlantic City, NJ--a mere two-and-a-half-hour drive from Baltimore. The town is basically a mini Las Vegas on the beach, which mixes the best of both relaxing daytime and energetic nightlife. In the past couple of years, the city has tried to class it up a little bit in order [...]

There are tons of neighborhood rivalries throughout the city. And I can't tell you how many letters to the editor we get about people defending their 'hoods. So it came as no surprise to me that the owners of two neighborhood staples are going head-to-head in a kayak race for charity in September.

Just went to RA Sushi and tried their holiday drink, the Star-Spangled Mojito. The patriotic cocktail, which costs $8 and will be served at the sushi restaurant July 3-5, is a blueberry-flavored concoction that combines fruity, tart, and crisp flavors. While the mojito was definitely refreshing, it also packed a punch and the white rum [...]

While at RA Sushi today, I noticed a flyer for MAC "Restaurant Day," advertising different food and drink specials around Harbor East, Fells Point, and Federal Hill. Then I noticed the date was June 25, as in, tomorrow. So I had to call up the MAC Harbor East to found exactly what exercising has to [...]

Last night, a couple of friends and I checked out The Hill, the namesake of its neighborhood, Federal Hill. Since the place just opened in May, it definitely still had a newish vibe to it—very clean, polished, and modern. But there were also some touches that made it feel very old-school Baltimore, including the exposed [...]

It seems like wine bars are popping up all over the city. Grand Cru was definitely the pioneer, opening in November 2003. But now the Belvedere Square staple has some company.
In September of last year, V-NO (pictured) opened up in Fells Point. Adding some class and modern chic to the neighborhood, V-NO is very wine-centric [...]
