Highlights
Fells Point (or just Fells, if you please) is well-known to locals as a place to eat, drink, shop and generally relax. Just east of the flashy Harbor area, Fells exudes history and small-town charm. It shuns retail chains and the mainstream for independent bars and eateries, as well as eclectic specialty shops, that line the cobblestone streets. The neighborhood is attractive to people from all generations and walks of life -- a seemingly endless array of bars and restaurants is found on Broadway and along the waterfront on Thames Street, drawing in young professionals, stalwart blue-collar types and the college crowd. Fells isn't just known for entertainment, though. It also has some of the...
Fells Point (or just Fells, if you please) is well-known to locals as a place to eat, drink, shop and generally relax. Just east of the flashy Harbor area, Fells exudes history and small-town charm. It shuns retail chains and the mainstream for independent bars and eateries, as well as eclectic specialty shops, that line the cobblestone streets. The neighborhood is attractive to people from all generations and walks of life -- a seemingly endless array of bars and restaurants is found on Broadway and along the waterfront on Thames Street, drawing in young professionals, stalwart blue-collar types and the college crowd. Fells isn't just known for entertainment, though. It also has some of the best historical landmarks in the entire city. The Broadway Market (which is impossible to miss, standing in the middle of Broadway) is one of the city's oldest public markets, founded in 1784. The oldest standing residence in the city can be found just a couple of streets over on South Ann Street. The Robert Long House, as it is called, is now the headquarters of the Society for the Preservation of Federal Hill and Fells Point, and has been painstakingly restored to the state it was in during the time of the Revolutionary War. Fells is also well known for the annual Fells Point Fun Festival and one of the best haunted tours in the entire nation.

New restaurants continue to open (and close)
Dining@LargeI've written about how new restaurants aren't as quick to let me know they're open as they used to be because they don't want to be slammed and don't want me to review them until they've had time to get......Tags: Wine, Beer, and Spirits, Dining and Drinking, Ray Lewis, Timonium, Locust Point

Top 10 Fine-Dining Bars
Dining@LargeThis week's topic, Top 10 Fine-Dining Bars, intrigues me because they seem to me to be a peculiarly Baltimore institution. They aren't bistros. They aren't wine bars.

Lean times, rich dishes
If dining out has a season, it would be around the holidays.
