Brunch menus feature delights such as Amish soft pretzels, French toast dippers, red quinoa oatmeal, fried oysters carbonara, avocado and smoked salmon toast, and blueberry pancakes."

"My routine during quarantine has been for every 2-3 dinners that I cook, I grab carryout from one of my favorite spots, and that includes, of course, The Food Market. Their menu has been changing almost daily, but I can always expect to see some of my favorite dishes including the Amish Soft Pretzels, Roasted Beef Short Ribs, and Buffalo Pickles. Chef Chad and the team have also been throwing in some surprises with the occasional dinner special (last week there was a $20 crab cake)."

Founded by the person behind treasured Baltimore speakeasy, W.C. Harlan, this family-owned taqueria and mezcaleria takes pride in its Sinaloan heritage, handmade tortillas, and bartenders trained in mezcal distilling."

It’s Instagrammable not only for its 1920’s-style, glitzy decor, but for its beautiful view of the city from its patio and floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Brewer's Art bar is a perfect example of the contradiction that characterizes Baltimore’s nightlife. The upstairs consists of an upmarket and elegant bar that resembles the living room of a 19th century lawyer .On the other hand, the downstairs section has an underground bar scene that attracts artists, college students and revelers seeking privacy in the shadows. The Brewer’s Art is famous for brewing a brown ale called Resurrection,which is arguably the best beer in Baltimore."

"Resurrection is one of the brews local beer lovers introduce to out-of-towners first. It’s flavorful and full-bodied, but the abbey brown ale works regardless of the weather or setting. Best sipped in the handsome upstairs bar of the Midtown-Belvedere establishment that shares its name."

"A hipster diner with a handcrafted bar, Rocket to Venus is an irreplaceable secondary home for many local residents, especially for the owner. It was named after a story about three local men, the owner included, whose desire and determination to fly to Venus grew widely known throughout the neighborhood. In 1928, the three of them built a 24-foot tall, gasoline-powered spacecraft made of materials such as iron and sailcloth that totaled to be about $5,000."

"The hot wings challenge held Tuesday nights at Hampden’s retro-fabulous sci-fi eatery Rocket to Venus requires diners to eat chicken wings seasoned with some of the spiciest peppers in the world. Those who succeed in scarfing down the lot in five minutes without sipping a beverage afterward get a T-shirt, bragging rights and the mild hallucinations that come from eating something so freakishly spicy. 3360 Chestnut Ave.,Hampden."

"Rocket"" is a fun place with an unusual menu and a great mix of diverse people - how many places in B'more do you find brussel sprouts, fried…"

"Next up, this brewery has a little bit of history, by which we mean that it is located at Old Oriole Park. An interesting fact about Peabody Heights Brewery, they are the largest brewery in Baltimore City. They have a tasting room in which you can taste some brew, and if you decide to take the brewery tour, you will get some history on Old Oriole Park."

"Originally named Buckley’s, The Dizz is a popular diner that has received numerous awards from Baltimore’s City Paper as the best corner and neighborhood bar that provides the best hamburgers and club sandwiches in addition to the best happy hour. The name of the restaurant changed from Buckley’s to Dizzy Issie’s in honor of a family friend, Issie, who is the cook of the restaurant, and then shortened after a series of renovations to The Dizz. It is mostly thanks to the cook that guests venture to taste the burgers and club sandwiches, only to return for more."

"The Pennsylvania Dutch concocted a farmhouse-style “pâté” as a way of using unpopular pig parts, including the head and organ meats, by boiling it with cornmeal then pressing and baking it in a loaf pan. Scrapple is now found on many a Maryland menu."
