 Baltimore-style hospitality |
1002 W 36th Street Baltimore, MD 21211 United States +1 410 243 1230 http://www.cafehon.com |
There is an informal tradition among Baltimore waitresses to address customers as 'Hon.' (Pronounced to rhyme with 'bun.') Over the years, the term has come to symbolize the town's casual hospitality, and as such, it suits this friendly café perfectly. Located in Hampden, it has the ambiance of a suburban kitchen circa 1955, and the menu fits the décor just right. Dishes like Four Cheese Lasagna and 'Much Better Than Mom's' Meatloaf are guaranteed to stick to your ribs, and the Crabcake Platter does Baltimore proud. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Common Ground Cafe stands out as one of the best cafes in Baltimore to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, apart from its baked delights, desserts and coffee. The atmosphere, enhanced with glowing candles and close seating, can easily pass off as romantic - a perfect venue for that first date! You can savor your Osso Buco or Shrimp with Asparagus while lilting tunes fill the air. The desserts are a must try - so don't leave without tasting the freshly prepared fruit pies, muffins and the Bread Pudding - a common favorite! All in all, a great place for an intimate tête-à-tête!

Upscale and creative bar fare |
1024 South Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21230 United States +1 410 727 1355 |
This upscale bar and restaurant has been serving Federal Hill's many young urban professionals since the mid-1980s. The food tends mainly toward sandwiches, salads and other comfort foods, but all are prepared with a bit of panache. The hamburger, for instance, is graced with green peppercorn mayonnaise, and the Homemade Chocolate Cake has butterscotch liqueur icing. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, and the space, with its hardwood floors, stained glass windows and wood paneling, has more than a touch of class. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Jewel of a bistro |
2908 O'Donnell Street Baltimore, MD 21224 United States +1 410 276 2233 http://www.helensgarden.com/V2/ |
This tiny jewel of a bistro does many things very well. On one hand, it is a great coffee bar. On the other hand, it is a dandy wine bar, with a list that's affordable and eclectic. Then again, it is a vegetarian restaurant, boasting items like the La Luna (eggplant, greens and provolone wrapped in a pesto flatbread!). However, the seafood entrees are the best. Finally, the downstairs is a bustling café, and the upstairs a cozy, candle-lit, folk-art styled hide-away. Review © 2007, Wcities |
