Thanks for the review. I am going there in the near future. Sounds great.

Soups on?

I agree with most of your takes Noah. However, I prefer Greg's Bagels to THB. I went to THB on Monday. It was good, but I still like Greg's. Greg's salmon selection is great (try the Canadian Candy).

I will have to try Fazzinis.

Rasika.

If you love your grandmother, drive her to Iggies. Pasta Mista and Italian Gardens are in Towson. Both are good options. The latter is in a mall and has plenty of seating. Jake's pit beef is amazing. You could carry out from there. I would drive to Baltimore for your Breakfast. It is not that far out of your way. The beltway is always backed up.

I hit Ellen's Stardust Diner and Pizzarte today. Both were really great. I had a great time at Ellen's and good meat at Pizzarte. I had the margherita pizza and the eggplant lasagna. Thanks for the recs. I also stopped at Bouchon and had a brownie.

+1 for the Knish Shop

Graydon,

I thought my comment made it clear that I had read your profile. I love the Monkey Bar. FWIW, I am not the basis for the Stones's song I took my handle from.

Peace and Love,
2000man

If you go to Fells Point, get Pitango gelato.

I went to the Breslin for brunch a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Thanks. It was a little over 15, but it was very good. I liked the vibe and view of the kitchen we had from our booth. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks Elyssa and Katecm. My wife and I had a nice dinner at Urbana. Ironically, we stayed at the Hotel Palomar a couple of years ago and shunned the restaurant. I thought the cocktails were great. Our food was very good. Nice rec. Thanks.

Bump. I would like to hit up someplace with great food that is romantic and hip, but not stuffy for restaurant week. My wife is a vegetarian (who eats some fish). I was thinking Rasika. Maybe zaytinya?

Thanks everyone for suggesting Jakes. I have hit him up twice in the last two months and was impressed with the ribs and the beef both times. He even invited me to his customer appreciation day on my second visit.

Agreed on Prima. My greek friends swear by it.

Great thread. Totally agree on mater samwiches. They are the best. I am going to make my own mayo this year to go with mine. FWIW, my wife's garden is several weeks from producing tomatoes.

I ate here a couple of nights ago. I had a large cheese pizza. It was 9 bucks and good (the gourmet pizzas are double the price). I also tried their eggplant sandwich. It was good, a little rich, but good. My kids really enjoyed their meatballs. I would go back. Everything was good. Staff was very nice.

You really need to check out Land of Kush (one or two stops up the light rail from Lexington Market by Maryland General and State Center). Try the Kale. Get the Collared greens over rice. Enjoy some seriously sweet agave sweetened, sweet tea. The Mac 'n Cheese and the Baked Eggplant are great. The lasagna is great, too.

I like Hank's Oyster Bar. If you like oysters and bars, then it might be for you.

Has anybody tried Fork and Wench?

Give Liquid Earth a try. That place is great. It is good food, not just for vegan hippies.

Steve, the Green Grocer at Belvedere Square in Baltimore has them. It sounds like too far a hike for you, but other might want to give him a try.

I love Greg, too. I think the bagels are good. I enjoy eating them. They are not NY style, but they are good and unique. I like to get bagels from Greg and salmon from Neopol.

Huh. I was under the impression that it had been called Peter's Inn for a long time (like over 20 years). Karen and Bud (the current owners) bought it from Peter and kept the name. Did you mean that you lived there before Karen and Bud bought it?

Peter's Inn. I used to live around the corner. My wife and I always had a great time there. I haven't been in over a year, but it is a great Baltimore restaurant.

Does Jake's have any fish or non chicken, beef or pork items on the menu?

I really think that NE Baltimore will support a "fancy" pizza place. I drove past this place and had hoped to read great things on here about it. I was surprised to hear people complain about the prices, but I just looked at their site. They are charging $18 for a large cheese pizza. I think that is high. I suppose they have the right to charge whatever they want, but I can't believe that their cheese pizza is the same price the ones with lots of toppings. http://www.tossthepizza.com/ I loved Zellas and I think I will still give them a chance at some point.

I went to Red Egg yesterday. I went with my in-laws and my kids. We showed up around 10:30. The service was great. The food was very good. Thanks for the suggestion.

I liked the Mad Batter. I had breakfast and lunch there a long time ago, but I would take my kids there. http://www.madbatter.com/ IMHO, all of Cape May is a tourist trap. But, I think the houses purty and the beach is nice.

Thanks everyone. We made it to Cowfish. My kids loved it. The bento boxes were great. Everyone liked their food. It was a great choice. We also tried Roosters. I loved the roasted corn and all the veggies. My kids loved their mashed yukons. We tried pizza at the Mellow Mushroom. That was good, too. Again, thanks for all the input.

I had Shapiro's again recently. It is great. Kosher Bite and King's are also good. There are a lot of good suggestions in this thread. I will try the place at the JCC next.
