There are a lot of "best breakfast" lists around these parts, but this one's our personal favorite. Braeden orders the Risotto Benedict and Marlee gets the Rock Bison biscuit, and you can't go wrong with any of their coffees.
If you're looking for the best greek food in town, look no further. Marlee and Braeden barely speak when they're at this restaurant, unless you consider "mmm" and "oh my goodness" through bites of souvlaki and gyro a form of communication; it's just that good.
Do you like cold cuts? Do you like parm? Do you like Italian food of any kind? Boy, have we got a place for you. This iconic Baltimore institution is a must, if not for the food then for the wide selection of speciality grocery items. You definitely won't want to miss out.
If you're looking for some entertainment, catch a film on The Big Screen at The Senator Theatre, the famed historic Art Deco movie palace where John Waters hosts his movie premieres. Open since 1939, this place is a must-see.
This charming coffee shop is a great stop for a good cup and some pastries- all made fresh in-house daily. Don't be scared off if there's a little line, we promise it's worth the wait.
If the idea of a brewery built into an abandoned factory speaks to you, this is your place. Braeden recommends trying Divine, named after Baltimore's iconic actor, singer and drag queen.
The Charmery is the backbone of the Baltimore ice cream scene, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better scoop in town. They're known for creative seasonally rotating flavors, but if you're feeling adventurous the Old Bay Salted Caramel is a mainstay on the menu for a reason.
This is the Ritz-Carlton of Aquariums, if you're into seeing cool fish and other such aquatic life.
The best pies and quiches in town- if you're in the Maryland mood, we recommend the famed Baltimore Bomb Pie, a perfect chocolate chess pie filled with Berger Cookies.
This was the scene of many an anniversary dinner for the two of us- the pizza is unparalleled. The garlic bread? Outstanding. The ambiance? Cozy and friendly. The cocktails? Perfectly balanced. We could go on, but you'd be reading a small novel.
If you read the Birroteca description and said "No, I want a classic slice" then allow us to direct you to Matthew's Pizzeria, a city institution since 1943! They've even have a pizza sans cheese (yup, tomato sauce and bread only) , if you're into that kind of thing.
Snowballs are a classic Baltimore treat, and while the shaved ice snack is usually relegated to summers only, Ice Queens is open through Thanksgiving which means you can try one for yourself at this beloved shop. Marlee goes for an Egg Custard with Marshmallow. Braeden does not like that flavor at all, and usually goes for a fruit ice!
