The definition of “global chic.” Midlina blends intercontinental flavors – duck ramen, lobster pot pie, short ribs with truffle and black garlic – and has a moody speakeasy upstairs behind a bookshelf (Poe’s Tower, obviously). It’s giving Bond villain hideout energy, in the best way.
The name says it all: halal-friendly smash burgers and fiery Nashville hot chicken in a casual spot where flavor is the only thing over the top.
NYC flavor meets Baltimore hustle. This Black and woman-owned deli is stacking chopped cheese, vegan-friendly bites, and pantry goods that’ll make you rethink the corner store sandwich game.
Part Sicilian pizzeria, part café, part sunshine-and-picnic-table situation, Doppio hits all the right notes. The arancini are cheesy perfection and the plain slice? Surprisingly profound. Sometimes less really is more.
Cross Keys got a serious glow-up. This sleek Chinese restaurant has a rooftop wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows and a menu that swings from delicate dim sum to a truffle whole duck that demands a celebration.
