I’ll bet you…..Who hasn’t said this at one point or another? We all have. You are gambling on the outcome of something. Growing up in the Island of Puerto Rico, a destination for gambling, it was no big deal. Let’s face it. You “wanna” gamble, you’ll do it anywhere, even from the comforts of your own home.
In Puerto Rico the islanders do visit the casinos which are in every hotel. Years back the dress code was: men would wear coats and the women were very smartly dressed. Casinos would have racks filled with coats of every size for those that did not have any. After dinner it was fun to go to the casinos and try your luck and hopefully nobody would have to stroll the walk of shame.
One of my favorite casinos in Puerto Rico was the one at the El San Juan Hotel in Isla Verde. Elegant and classic, just like casinos should be. It still looks that way.
Casinos bring out a lot of emotions on people. The gambling factor, the drinking, the undesirables….but, some will always live La Vida Loca. Pennsylvania, and Delaware have casinos. So, when Marylanders were up in arms about the casinos coming to Maryland……I was like, what’s the big deal? The State needs money, and jobs. Otherwise, they will come to Delaware and Pennsylavania, so if you can’t fight them, you might as well join them.
Horseshoe Casino opened in Baltimore, in August of this year. Arriving in Baltimore, I passed it and did not even notice it. That’s how understated it is. Located at 1525 Russell St., Baltimore, MD 21230. Tel. 844-777-SHOE. Website? http://www.caesars.com/baltimore. Right next to the Ravens’ Stadium, Orioles Stadium, and the Inner Harbor….walking distance!!
Horseshoe Casino offers free parking, which by the way is bright, and with plenty of security around the perimeter of the casino. We are in Downtown Baltimore and just like any downtown, security is a must.
Horseshoe has partnered with the local hotels. You can make reservations right from their website. The casino has 122,000 sq.ft. of gaming space. For those that love table games…Blackjack, Craps, Bacarat, Roulette and plenty more. Check the website above mentioned. Slots? Many, many. It is also a multi-level casino.
We arrived early afternoon, just in time for lunch. Entertainment in this cool bar at Horseshoe was already on-going.
For those that love to sit at a bar and enjoy a food court for there is a level just for that.
Celebrity chefs have taken notice of Baltimore and the charm this city has to offer. We decided to visit Guy Fieri’s Baltimore Kitchen & Bar. This restaurant has seating for 350 customers, but it does not feel that big.
Guy Fieri has about 7 other restaurants throughout the U.S. So, this latest one is part of the branding of a chef’s cuisine.
Immediately, we noticed that the servers were attentive and friendly.
Are you hungry? Be prepared for large portions. Shareables, they call it. Eat them tapas style. I am not kidding, the portions were huge and the food was great. You will have to “up” your exercise routine, after dining here.
I started to notice other customers getting their food brought to the table….wow, we were in for some trouble.
The B-More Fries passed by….waffle cut with a creamy blue crab dip, Old Bay and green onions. You see what I mean?
A Caesar Salad!!
A Burger followed those gigantic dishes for 2 people.
We had already ordered and suddenly our table was covered with food…decadence!!
Following is what we had.
Shashimi Won-Tacos – Love these, really, they were delicious. Sashimi grade ahi tuna and mango jicama salsa on crispy wonton taco shells, drizzled with sweet soy and wasabi cream.
Vegas Fries – A Guy Fiori’s signature dish. The crispy cut fries, the spicy buffalo sauce, topped with blue cheese crumbles, served with a blue-sabi dipping sauce. Crispy, well seasoned and the sauces were just right. Yikes!
Lollipop wings served with veggies and Guy’s blue sabi sauce, added to an already exciting afternoon lunch. These particular wings a little sweet and a little tangy! Easy to handle!
How could we not have a salad? Always complementing a lunch or dinner….this was a meal in itself. The Guy-Talian Deli Salad it was called. It was in a crown of prosciutto-wrapped smoked provolone. It was also filled with crisp romaine lettuce, imported Italian meats and cheeses, pickled veggis and tossed in a red wine vinaigrette. Totally, awesome! Presentation and taste did not disappoint.
Needless to say….no dessert was needed or necessary, but they do offer desserts comparable in size to our lunch.
I think Horseshoe is a good addition to Downtown Baltimore. Check the websites for the upcoming events at Horseshoe.
Something that caught my attention was that on Thursday nights, except Thanksgiving and Christmas…Chips & Salsa is a happening thing at Johnny Sanchez. This restaurant offers extended Happy Hour on Thursdays and free Salsa Lessons by dance instructors Mike Fok and Kaya Barraza. This Mexican and Southwestern restaurant was opened by celebrity chefs John Besh and Aaron Sanchez.
Have a good one!!

Before I moved to the Delaware Beaches, I called Baltimore, Maryland, my home. I worked at First National Bank of Maryland in the International Department with Latin America. It was an exciting time for the City of Baltimore….its Inner Harbor was taking shape; lost of building and great expectations. I could see it all from our building which was at the corner of Light & Redwood Streets. It put Baltimore on the map, once again, and a tourist destination began in earnest. It has been 32 years since the inauguration of the Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
So, when I visit Baltimore, I have to tell you that I feel right at home. The City has wonderful neighborhoods; with those neighborhoods come great food, as well.
On Tuesday I found myself in Charm City. After errands, a trip to Historic Fells Point was on my radar. Fells Point was founded in 1730. It became a shipbuilder and commercial center.
The USS Constellation was among the first vessels commissioned for the United States Navy; built in a Fells Point shipyard.
Fells Point was also a major point of entry for immigrants into the U.S.
The Historic District is full of art galleries, shops, bars and restaurants. People were walking around and enjoying one beautiful day.
The cobblestone streets add to the character of one of the oldest neighborhoods in Baltimore.
A first time stop at Tapas Adela, which is located at 814 Broadway, Fells Point, Baltimore, MD 21231. Tel. 410-534-6262. Website? http://www.tapasadela.com. This restaurant is part of the Kali’s Restaurant Group, located on 1606 Thames St., also in Historic Fells Point. To see their other restaurants, please visit htt://www.kalisrestaurantgroup.com.
Outdoor seating? Of course. It was a gorgeous day. 82 degrees with a light breeze; the harbor was a block away.
Tapas Adela also has indoor seating, at the bar.
And, at a separate dining room.
Jason came to greet us; it was going to be somewhat of a late lunch. Jason knew his menu well and gave us just the right suggestions.
First things first…an order of drinks and refreshments. Iced tea and a Cava Coctel: Poema Cava, blood orange bitters, agave nectar and lemon zest. It looked so pretty that I had to take a picture. It was well received.
Tapas, small plates….the perfect portion. Even before tapas became so popular in this country, I always have enjoyed them. So many dishes to taste. Bread is always present with tapas. Jason presented us with bread, olive oil and some mojo. We were on our way for a few hours of tastings.
An order of Charcuterie: Jamon Serrano, Chorizo Artesano, Salchichon, Lomo, and Fuet. It also came with dates and peppers that were not too hot, but the perfect addition to some salty meats.
An order of Boquerones (white anchovies) came through. These are one of my favorites. They used to be hard to find but I think they are more common at markets. They are mild with a pickled flavor. They are so good on Caesar Salads too.
I can make my own gazpacho, but I do order it when the weather is warm. With tomatoes still so plentiful, it is just a great soup. The Gazpacho a La Plancha had golden and red tomatoes, grilled shrimp and scallop. The gazpacho was perfectly seasoned with just enough vinegar and olive oil. I usually add crab meat to mine; but the grilled shrimp and scallop gave it a different angle.
I had to order the Tortilla Espanola. This is a tradition in Spanish tascas; a must. This was a traditional egg tortilla, with an addition of seasonal veggies and lemon aioli.
Jason told me I would like the Crispy Artichokes. He was right. I loved them. They were the baby ones, with a tempranillo reduction. Tempranillo is a diminutive of temprano or early. A variety of black grapes that ripen early; used to make full bodied red wines in Spain.
Love beets too. I was just in Colorado and their beets there were unreal. Still remembering them, I decided to order the Roasted Beets with Cava de Cabra, Baby Arugula, and an orange saffron vinaigrette. All combinations were excellent.
An order of Pan Seared Diver Scallops with pistachio and sage vinaigrette, accompanied by roasted cauliflower and garlic baby spinach. Perfectly cooked and seasoned.
I was not sure if I really was up for dessert. I will blame AboutMyBeaches for this one. Had to, therefore, I ordered the Crema Catalan, which was like a Creme Brule. It had a citrus taste to it.
And, only one. I only had one….a churro. The order comes with a few more, though. This is also traditionally from Spain. Great with coffee or hot chocolate.
Coffee!! Espresso…The end!!
Tapas are great for generating conversation. Lots of small plates, discussions, you know what I mean, don’t you….it was perfect!!
Talk to you later. Have a good one.

Some went to the ball game and others decided to try one of the many restaurants in downtown Baltimore. Baltimore did win on Thursday and the city was crowded.
My sister in law is always looking for those special restaurants; the ones that are unique. In Baltimore, you will find interesting ones. The city is known for its diverse culinary atmosphere. So, when I stopped at her house and she told me that there was a restaurant in Federal Hill called Bluegrass, I was ready. Having traveled from Rehoboth, I was already hungry.
Another friend, Peggy, joined us. Federal Hill was home to her many years ago before it became a trendy neighborhood. I was in good hands.
Bluegrass Tavern (Bluegrass) is located at 1500 S. Hanover Street, Baltimore, MD 21230. Tel. 410-244-5101. Website? http://www.bluegrasstavern.com. General Manager is Kelli Kulnich. Monday is the only day they close. Reservations are accepted.
The Executive Chef is Ray Kumm. His culinary path has taken him from Basserie Tatin, to Sotto Sopra, to Alizee, and a final stop at Bluegrass Tavern, where the cuisine is categorized as American and Southern cooking.
Federal Hill is just a few blocks from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. A neighborhood with shops, restaurants, taverns, boutiques and galleries. Some call it SoBo (South Baltimore). In the historic district, many of its buildings are included in the National Register of Historic places. Federal Hill is very conveniently situated. Close to I-95, I-395, the Baltimore Washington Parkway, and to Charles and Light Streets.
We arrived around 2 p.m.; a late lunch. Bluegrass has al fresco dining; not on such a hot summer day. It would have to be another time.
We met Kelly Kulnich, the General Manager. She proceeded to take us to our table. Hank would be our server.
The restaurants has 2 floors; both with full bars. Bluegrass’ pride is the ability to perfectly pair their delicious food with drinks. A specialty of the Tavern is the focus on America’s finest Bourbons. Beers from local breweries are on the board and on the menu.
 
Charcuterie is the art of making sausages and other cured, smoked and preserved meats. It takes time but in the hands of an expert….haven!! Bluegrass has an array of charcuteries.
 
The restaurant is warm and cozy. Definitely, a neighborhood restaurant.
 Bar on the first floor.  Bar on the second floor. A few drinks were ordered, including a Bluegrass Pale Ale from Heavy Seas Brewery.
A couple of appetizers:
Kolrhabi Vicchysoisse – with lemon verbena garnished with crispy forest mushrooms. This cold soup was so amazing. A must if you are visiting Bluegrass. Light and smooth; vegan too.
Beet Carpaccio – I love beets and these ones were gorgeous and tasted just as good as they looked. Served with smoked sable, pickled fennel and an orange vinaigrette.
For lunch we ordered:
Corn “Risotto” – grilled welsh onions, fresh sheep’s milk cheese, bursted baby heirloom tomatoes. We all tasted it and it was awesome; we did not want it to end. It is a very popular dish at Bluegrass. Gluten free!!
Bacon Avocado Sandwich with roasted peppers, escarole and chips. So gorgeous and Peggy loved it. A generous portion and very reasonably priced. We opened the sandwich so you could see how beautiful it was.
Mine was the Smoked Fried Chicken Sandwich with crystal hot sauce aioli, pickled red cabbage and fries. What a treat!! Very well seasoned and my taste buds were dancing happily. Again, we opened it.
Dessert:
I hardly ever order dessert. It seems that I am usually satisfied. But, we had to order something. A dessert to share.
I decided on the Olive Oil Cake…..just as I was saying that I was not a cake lover, the cake arrived. It was the best ever!! Moist, and just yummy. Gran marnier glaze, brown sugar chantilly, candied orange zest. Truly delicious!!
Our server, Hank, was extremely courteous, knew his menu well, and let us talk and talk.
Bluegrass gives back to the community that has accepted them so well. Each month they choose a charity or organization and donate 10% of the total gross earnings for just that day.
The Tavern is holding events and specials every week. Please check the website or the board at the restaurant.
Until Sunday, August 5th B’more is holding Restaurant Week. The opportunity to try all kinds of restaurants in Downtown Baltimore at a fraction of the price. Bluegrass is one of such participating restaurants and you can check what they are serving by visiting their website.
To see the participating restaurants, please visit http://www.baltimorerestaurantweek.com.
So….when in Charm City, please stop by. I cannot wait to have dinner!!
Have a great day. Talk to you later.

Going to Baltimore for the day is no brainer. The Delaware Beaches are so close to major cities, like Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. A day trip is an easy one.
I lived in Baltimore years ago. I have always liked it. It is a small city comparing it to the nearby ones. Like all of them it has the good, the bad and the ugly. I tend to concentrate on the good. Baltimore is a city of many firsts. Many U.S. cities would love to have what Baltimore has to offer.
A City of Firsts, yes indeed, with innovations throughout its history. Advances and inventions in industry, transportation, science, and education. Hospitals that are world renowned; a port, the Orioles, the Ravens, ethnic neighborhoods, fantastic restaurants. A Farmers’ Market in its 35th year, right in the middle of the city. Visit the website http://www.Baltimore.org/about-baltimore/baltimore-firsts.
Can’t wait to see the celebrations kicking off the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. Fort McHenry is the birthplace of our National Anthem; The Star Spangled Banner. http://www.baltimore.to/fort-mchenry.html.
People don’t tend to move from Baltimore. And, if they do, they always come back. They do drive a lot of Volvos too. I have never seen so many.
We invited my sister in law, Susie, to have lunch. Our choice was Petit Louis Bistro. This is a classic French bistro located 4800 Roland Ave., Baltimore. Tel. 410-366-9393. Website? http://www.petitlouis.com.
There is more to where this bistro is located. The neighborhood is called Roland Park. It was the first planned suburban community in North America, developed beween 1890 and 1920.
Also, the actual building is very interesting. You see, this single Tudor style, small, shopping strip where Petit Louis is located, is the world’s first shopping center; opened in 1907.
As you enter, you will find a full bar and two dining rooms. They are both very comfortable.
 
Petit Louis opens for lunch and dinner. They also have a brunch on Sundays.
 
Our server was friendly, and immediately presented us with sourdough bread and homemade butter.
For lunch we had the choice of a Prix Fixe menu for $22. 3 courses included iced tea and coffee. We liked the choices so Susie and I decided on this type of menu.
We both chose the Petite Salad de Mesclun. Local Mesclun greens, Reggiano and a red wine vinaigrette. Nicely seasoned, and simple.
Susie chose the Croque Monsieur. This was a sandwich of sliced Madrange ham, Gruyere cheese and frites. Even though this is a standard on their menu, Susie thought it was the best one yet.
I had the Louis Casse-Croutes which was a steak sandwich, medium temperature, with caramelized onions, frites and a delicious horseradish aioli. It really was so good.
My husband decided to go a la carte with all hors d’oeuvres for his lunch.
The first was a Terrine a la Mode Landaise. It was a Foi Grass Terrine, without the grilled baguette, due to his gluten allergy. Loved it.
Ris de Yeau which was a Sauteed Sweetbread with button mushrooms in a Madeira reduction. Sweetbreads are not served in many restaurants; Baltimore seems to have them available. He thought they were perfectly cooked.
He also had the Gravlax, which was the House Cured Salmon Gravlax, with capers and creme fraiche. Paper thin and beautiful.
Susie and I had the choice of desserts.
I loved the Mousse au Chocolat. I always forget how good this dessert is.
Susie had the Fruits de Saison; a citrus custard on top.
Coffee and an offering of cheese, which was greately enjoyed, ended a very nice lunch with family…
Talk to you later…

“Visionary Art begins by listening to the inner voices of the soul, and often may not even be thought of as “art” by its creator.” american visionary art museum
The last time I was in Baltimore, just the buildings caught my attention; I wondered what surprises the inside would bring. Not disappointed in the least. I want to go back and see more of it; every piece of art regardless of its size has a story behind it.
American Visionary Art Museum, AVAM, started with a concept and its own visionary, Rebecca Alban Hoffberger, in 1984 as she held the position of Development Director of People Encouraging People, which was a program of the Dept. of Psychiatry at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
There are several buildings, one of such the 1913 former offices of the Baltimore Copper Paint Co., other building is a historic whiskey factory, Four Roses Whiskey.
AVAM opened in 1995. The location is 800 Key Highway, Baltimore, MD, 21230. Tel. 410-244-1900. It is easy to find; at the base of Historic Federal Hill, adjacent to the Inner Harbor.
It has the neatest website with all this information and more, www.avam.org.
AVAM is the largest of more than 40 museums and major art environments around the world.
What is Visionary Art? AVAM’s Mission Statement is: “Visionary art as defined for the purposes of the American Visionary Art Museum refers to art produced by self-taught individuals, usually without formal training, whose works arise from an innate personal vision that revels foremost in the creative art itself.”
This museum is for the whole family; kids would love it. The main building is recycled mirror, glass and china chards. It is 3 stories high. This work is the product of a program started in 2000 by AVAM, which was America’s largest youth-at-risk and youth incarcerated, mosaic apprenticeship program, called “Shining Walls/Shining Youth”.
For obvious reasons, no photos were allowed inside the buildings. Other exterior walls of buildings show you how “outside the box” AVAM is.
The Mosaic Bus is called “The Gallery A-Go-Go”. It was created in 1996 by Nancy Josephson. It is a beacon for visionary art lovers; has traveled from Chicago to Baltimore and it is a mobile mini-museum.
I really do want to go back and see it more in-depth; a tour might be the thing to do. There is so much to see. The Museum makes you feel so good inside; happy.
For info. on hours of operation, current exhibits, directions, history, etc. etc., please do visit www.avam.org. Oh, and guess what? Over 70 weddings are held at AVAM every year!!
Note: Information for my post was taken from the American Visionary Art Museum’s website.
New Year….full of new experiences, expectations…looking forward to it, definitely!!

I cannot believe that I still have a couple of posts from my trip to Baltimore, where I discovered so many interesting places to visit and to dine.
One of them, which I really liked was a very unique glassblowing studio called Corradetti. It is located at 2010 Clipper Park Rd., Suite 119, Baltimore, MD 21211. Tel. 410-243-2010. Website? www.corradetti.com.
I went to see Overlook Cipper Mill which are contemporary homes with wooded views and the latest in sustainable design options. Corradetti was in this complex.
Anthony Corradetti is the artist. His work consists of “painting multiple layers of metallic paints which are individually kiln fired on large blown glass vessels”. Vessels are bowls. I remember learning about them when I wrote about the Happyrock Pottery a couple of weeks ago.
You can read about this process and about the different workshops that Corradetti is offering by just visiting the website above mentioned.
The studio is gorgeous. If you are interested in hosting a party at the studio, just give them a call because the studio is available for parties.
The Gallery has a beautiful representation of his work and are available for purchase.
So, I am passing on the info. just in case you find yourselves in Charm City or if you are in need of a gift that will certainly be a conversation piece.
Have a great day!! Talk to you later….

“Authentic New York Delicatessen (only better)” It is their motto; one that has been since 1915.
My son said last night “this is not AboutMyBeaches”. My husband said, he could not believe I did not have “The Original” which is the Cloak & Dagger; corned beef, cole slaw and Russian dressing.
My other son, said “hmm I am ready to go”. That’s more like it!!
I, well..the t.v. was on early this morning and there was a person talking about the food waking up your senses, etc. etc. I tell you, what woke up my senses. Wait a minute, I should say what woke up my hunger. After being at the Baltimore Farmer’s Market last Sunday, Susie, my sister in law, said that instead of eating at the market we could go to “corned beef row”. That did it and it was great. Their reputation is unsurpassed.
Attman’s is located at 1019 East Lombard St., Baltimore, MD. 21202. Tel. 410-563-2666. Website? www.attmansdeli.com.
It was about 1:00 p.m. and there was a line. The place was bustling. Dishes coming out, pastrami here, mustard there. Don’t leave it too lean. My wife is waiting in the car. I was like, what the heck am I going to order?
I was also looking at the cases with some of their offerings including tongue, probably for their Tongue Fu sandwich which has beef tongue, pastrami, corned beef and Swiss, topped with spicy mustard.
I got some help. They do have a friendly staff. He told me to get the corned beef with mustard on rye. I was a novice. Or, the pastrami, same way. I just needed more time. Regulars knew what they were ordering.
Okay, okay; one corned beef, mustard on rye, one pastrami, mustard on rye, one cole slaw and 2 drinks.
Then, off to their Kibbitz Room for dining and chatting. Susie and I split our sandwiches so we could experience both meats.
She thought she loved the pastrami the best.
I thought mine was just as good.
My husband kept texting me that had I ordered the wrong thing. Haha, a good excuse to come back.
Through our lunch at Attman’s, there was never a line with less than 5 people. Attman’s is near the Inner Harbor.
My husband told me that when he was young. I should say younger; he is probably reading my blog, Attman’s was his “paycheck treat”.
He also remembers when Corned Beef Row was like an outdoor grocery store. Chickens, meats; all Kosher.
Attman’s is an old style Jewish deli. It does not need an introduction. It speaks for itself. If you want to know more about it, check out their website, www.attmansdeli.com. Or, you can also go on line and visit www.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=6044. This article explains the good times and the hard times of this important street in Baltimore.
It has taken me all week to write about 24 hours in Baltimore. I still have 2 more posts. This City that has been knocked down in the news, even though it has so much to offer. A lot of tender loving care? Of course, and some of you are trying, I know.
In the meantime, I am looking forward to another visit. I already know what I am going to order, regardless of what my husband says. The Lombard Street sandwich has hot corned beef, hot patrami, chopped liver and Russian Dressing. Cannot wait!!
Note: Attman’s offers off-premise catering service throughout Maryland, Washington and Virginia. Ask them about their “Lombard St. Party” which for 50 people or more at your location.
Have a great day! Talk to you….later….

If you are a habitual visitor to farmers’ markets you know that the best way to get prime produce is to be the first in line as they open for business. I don’t think you will have to worry too much at the market my sister in law, Susie took me last Sunday. It was unreal. Huge; so much.
The 34th Annual Baltimore Farmers’ Market & Bazaar opened a month earlier this season; in April. The last day will be December 18th. Every Sunday from 7 a.m. until 12 Noon you can expect these vendors to showcase the best they have to offer.
The location is underneath the Jones Falls Expressway at Holliday & Saratoga Sts. There is free parking available or you can park on the street in the first spot you can get. I did not have any trouble finding parking.
This is one of a kind shopping and dining experience. Besides the most gorgeous produce, food vendors add their own unique spice to the market with a diverse multi-cultural cuisine.
They say that on any given Sunday, 8,000 people visit the market. Overall the visitors are in the 200,000 for the season. More info? Please visit www.promotionandarts.com. Or, you may call 410-752-8632.
I was taking it all in. First you cannot believe that is under the expressway. Then, the columns holding the expressway are all decorated. I found out that this is called City Paint 2011. The Baltimore Mural Program. This year Baltimore will be decorated with numerous murals throughout the city. This program is sponsored by the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhoods and produced by the Office of Promotion & the Arts.
For more information; they do need volunteers, please visit www.promotionandarts.com/index.cfm?page=artscouncil&id=9.
This particular mural is called The Farming of Corn 2008 by Joel Bergner.
People were walking, eating; some kids enjoying themselves as only kids do.
Okay, the Wheely Good Smoothies caught my attention. Pedal to get a smoothie or they can pedal for you. Their website is www.wheelygoodsmoothies.com.
Migue’s Magnificent Mini Donuts had a line. They are small donuts. Ha, that’s a good way to fool you. Supposedly, they are low fat and delicious.
A small bag of 8 pipping hot ones is $3. For $5 you get 16 minis. Or, if you want the Donut Lovers Box, you will get 40 donuts for $9.
The produce was unreal. The tomatoes…just take a look at them. Different sizes and colorations. A tomato tasting? Yes, tasting different kinds before making you choice. They were delicious.
The same with the peaches. Another tasting; the sweetest I have tasted. I got some white ones.
These were the biggest radishes I had ever seen.
White zuchinni? Black and white string beans?
Beautiful eggplant. That aubergine color was gorgeous.
It was good to see that the vendors took their time to talk to their customers and answer questions. Everyone seemed to have their favorite.
Susie and I did not have anything to eat here. But, there were so many choices; healthy, diverse, and international, including vegan and gluten free items, as well.
I have been to several Farmers’ Markets; California, Colorado, Florida, Delaware, but this ,in Baltimore, was by far the biggest one. If you are a resident of Baltimore, I cannot imagine you have not heard about it; but if you are visiting Charm City this could be a great place to have breakfast on a Sunday morning. And remember this market will be on-going until December.
Susie and I? Oh no, we were on our way to Attman’s on Corned Beef Row….
Talk to you later….
