Hampden has gone full-on island pub. Chamorro cuisine (that’s Guam, baby) meets English tavern in a moody, fireplace-lit space that’s giving cozy-luxe. Must-tries: shrimp + corn cakes and the katsu-drenched tomahawk pork chop. You’ll feel like royalty.
Korean fusion in an industrial-chic space with serious Seoul. Come for the chandelier, stay for the crispy Tang Soo Yoo and hot-n-sweet shrimp pizza. Bonus: you can actually park. 🙌
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.
Mt. Vernon’s cozy new nook with Puerto Rican soul. Think pernil, arroz con gandules, and empanadas served with the kind of warmth that makes every visit feel like a hug.
Chill is the mission. Maryland’s first kava bar spans three levels, café, lounge, and retro-gaming haven, all fueled by kava and botanical mocktails that feel like a vibe shift in a cup.
