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.

This brand new bar and restaurant from the Dutch Courage team is already generating buzz. Think funky flair, John Waters nods, and next-level energy. We already love it.
Modern Latin street food at its finest. Pupusas filled with fresh crab and honey sriracha slaw? Yes, please. Birria loaded with salsa verde and melted cheese? Take my money.
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.
