My podmate John-John Williams and my buddy Sloane Brown did a bang-up job with this Picture Gallery of 100 Baltimore stores. Among their picks are a scattering of stores selling things you can eat or drink, or that you can put eats or drinks into.
I noted three wine stores, three chocolatiers, a candy store, a few home-furnishings stores, and a pretty famous Italian grocery store. There were also a few other stores that I at one time or another was convinced sold food but that don't -- Cupcake, In Watermelon Sugar, Kiss and Make Up.
The newest store in the Photo Gallery, Black Eyed Susan Coffee, Candy, Cream & More, brings Susan Seaman's thriving Maryland-themed gift-basket business into a Glyndon retail space. The shop also sells out-of-basket treats like Zeke's Coffee, Wockenfuss candies, and Prigel Family Creamery ice cream.
The store has been open for business for a few weeks but will be having a ribbon-cutting on Friday, December 10th at 9 a.m., followed by a weekend-long grand-opening celebration.
Black Eyed Susan is located at the Glyndon Square shopping center, the phone number is 410-833-5427, the web address is http://www.blackeyedsusangiftbaskets.com/
