Like Kati Junction at 40th between Seventh and Eighth.
Get the chicken tikka masala w/ egg roll, a pistachio lassi, and wander into Midtown Comic one storefront over, or the Drama Bookstore a little further down.
Las Palmas, a Mexican grocery store on a side street in Oakland has a stand that makes PHENOMENAL tacos. I get them most Saturday afternoons. We've taken friends visiting from out of town, and they're usually floored (of course we don't take Chicago friends).

LOL Just know we got eats!
ps. I've hosted 2 Baltimore Fun Days. If a few players are down, I'd be up to doing a few more Mostly they consist of eat, drinking and showing the city through my eyes.

I can't front I saw an ep on the food channel that made me think damn I need to check out some spots down there. Looks delicious even if I don't eat crab.

Lot 2, French Bulldog: wines, cheeses, pork belly sandwiches. French Bulldog specifically cures their own meats and all of them are fucking succulent as a tit. Lot 2 changes their menu seasonally but right now they do a Salmon burger that's just as dope as a regular burger.
Block 16: Three seemingly steroid-infused pieces of chicken and a side of fries for $4.25. Cheaper than fast food chicken, twice as filling and locally sourced. They also started a pretty funny series of Youtube videos having head chefs around town read mean Yelp reviews ala Jimmy Kimmel.
Mula: California street-style tacos in an upscale atmosphere. $2.50 a taco (you generally want three to five though) plus a ton of great tequila drinks and a $3 shot that's always quality like Espolon or Tres Agaves in your choice of blanco or reposado.
Lisa's Radial Cafe: When you've gotta have breakfast, this is my favorite diner I've ever been to. 11-Worth Cafe is better if you want the trucker, down on your luck sort of vibe, but at Lisa's I love to order two or three things with their massive french toast and make my own custom sandwich out of them. And you know you have a great diner when their "website" is just their urban spoon page.
Nite Owl: Primarily a bar but their Korean-style wings (10 pieces for $10) may just be the best fucking wings outside of a major BBQ town, and they serve right up until 2:00AM.
Avoli Osteria: Italian spot on the higher end of things (not that you'd know from their web design which is surprisingly outdated compared to most sites from the city) but just about every entree is served big enough for two people, the problem is they're prepared delicious enough for half a person.

The Drover and their whiskey marinade, dimly lit '70's steakhouse vibe, tiny salad bar, saddles on the wall, they only give a fuck about the steaks, and damn are they good
63. "Baltimore: Windsor Inn Crab House" In response to Reply # 0
Is it hood? You betta believe it.
Is it worth navigating for the food? You best believe that too.
I'm spoiled because I can literally walk to Koko's Pub from my house...but Wifey is from the West Side, and she swears by Windsor Inn. Crab Cakes are ridiculous. If you from out of town though, just be sensible and its worth the trip.
64. "Baltimore: Hip Hop Chicken and Fish (LOL)" In response to Reply # 0
Yes, that is the name. No its not Black owned or operated.
Is the chicken good? According to the folks that came to my party in January, who cleaned out a whole tray of this bird in like 15 minutes, "Its that Crack!"
They put sugar on the chicken after it comes out of the fryer.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out years later that its an experiment being conducted by Johns Hopkins.
But yeah, its here and folks eat it like its going extinct.

(shee-o-gen-soo-i)
Best ramen I've had since moving to Kyoto, nothing fancy, just a nice casual sit down restaurant featuring amazing ramen, fried rice and chicken karaage (fried chicken). Usually ginger and or garlic are mixed in the breading before the chicken is fried..great stuff! Few pics

79. "RE: What about eel?" In response to Reply # 78 Sun Feb-15-15 09:02 PM by neuro_OSX
Yes, I've had eel as well, though its so common I don't think of it as exotic. The eel was roasted and coated in a soy, sugar sauce, was pretty good, though I'm not crazy about it. Tastes like white fish, not much of a taste really.
The poison blow fish left my lips and tongue tingling a bit, I thought I'd been poisoned.. SMH
