Only a few miles from Ocean City, Maryland, Berlin is a town full of history, with eateries that are making it a dining destination. So, are all the quaint shops that surround Historic Berlin. Free parking!!
On Friday, May 10th, Berlin celebrates its 2nd Friday Art Stroll….every month this is a day when stores stay open late; music, food and fun!! Stroll the art galeries, the artists have their own receptions. You can shop early, then stay for dinner.
NEST is a must stop shop, located at 11 South Main St. Tel. 410-629-1030. You can find NEST of Facebook, as well.
The shopkeeper is Dee and with her is assistant shopkeeper, Mr. Petey. Mr. Petey is always at your service from the moment customers enter NEST. He does not miss a thing. He is a fixture in Historic Berlin. A good worker, he puts full hours. But, don’t get me wrong….he can chill too!!
I have known Dee for a long time. So has Cindi, who was my partner in crime during that day when we ate at The Globe and then walked over to say hi to Dee. There is always something new; something for everyone. And every piece has a story. It is great to see how she has taken the time to get merchandise that has a meaning.
Dee is also an artist herself. There is nothing she can’t do. She is an accomplished seamstress; her aprons are gorgeous and her Boppyowl handmade bags are full of color and interesting contrasting materials.
Her merchandise changes frequently…Take a peek at her store!!
You do remember that Sunday is Mother’s Day!! I thought so.
This pillow caught my attention. Take a closer look….real feathers!!
Mr. Petey got comfortable again….”Thank God they are finally gone”. Talk to you later.

Up and down the coastal towns of Delmarva, residents and merchants are making sure that the historic towns they have chosen to live, work and play are preserved with respect and dignity. Historic Berlin, Maryland is one of such towns just a few miles west of Ocean City, Maryland, in Worcester County. Every time I visit Berlin, it brings back memories of many years driving my kids to and from Berlin, when they went to school. The Globe was a place I probably stopped more than a few times a week. So, when Cindi and I decided a few weeks ago to stop by…lunch at The Globe was a must. We were the first ones there. Perfect for those photo opportunities.
The Globe is located at 12 Broad St., Berlin, MD 21811. Tel. 410-641-0784. Website? http://www.globetheater.com. The Proprietor & General Manager is Jennifer Dawicki.
We were able to walk around at our own pace since we were early. The first thing you will notice is their Coppertop Bar. Plenty of stools available with happy hour from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.
Upstairs, in the Balcony Art Gallery & Lounge, as well as throughout the Globe you will see works of local and regional artists on display. On Thursday, May 9th….a Murder Mystery Dinner will be taking place at the Balcony Art Gallery & Lounge. Once a month this event attracts many customers for a night of dining and mystery. Please call for tickets. 410-641-0784. $25/person. 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.
On the first floor, there are different areas for dining. The Globe was a theater, so you might end up eating on a balcony.
By the Coppertop Bar.
Or, across from the stage, which is where Cindi and I decided to sit.
The Globe is open Tuesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner and Sunday Brunch. It has Wi-Fi, offers a kids’ menu and it is also handicapped accessible.
It is funny how I love going out to lunch and dinner with friends…and then I start wondering what can I eat that is low fat, low carb, low sodium…crazy, isn’t it? Why bother?
Cindi and I decided to be very good and this is what we had:
Black Bean Burger Wrap, made in-house, tucked away with spinach, avocado and an order of their most delicious fresh fried tortilla chips and a pickle.
Mine was the Jerk Chicken Wrap….grilled jerk chicken, spinach, pineapple, red onion, mozzarella cheese, and honey mustard dressing. It was also served with their tortillas and a pickle. That’s all we ate!! I think we did well.
