The ghost of Blue Hill Tavern has been reincarnated into a sleek, modern American tavern with major date-night vibes. Union Hill is plating up steak frites, tuna tartare, and a shrimp “noodle” ceviche with spicy citrus broth that’s just the right amount of extra. Also, weekend brunch is available. Pro-tip: Add ice cream to your French toast.
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.
Vegan burgers so good they’re NSFW. Atlanta-born and Baltimore-beloved, Slutty Vegan is spicy, saucy, and proudly plant-based. Pro tip: get the fries dusted in “slut dust” and chase it with a slutty lemonade. You’ll thank me later.
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.
This new pub and lounge is cozy-core goals with a European twist. The chalkboard menu changes daily, the vibes are peak candle-lit comfort, and you might stumble into a book club or Irish jam session.
