I tried the Apple Fluff (Fluffed Marshmallow Vodka) and the Whipped Sunset (Whipped Cream Vodka) both were sweet but tasted delicious. Food was also served from lovely ladies walking throughout the lounge. I got to taste some differents small plates of shrimp, pasta, beef ribs, salmon skewers, chicken skewers and more! All the of the food was great. The music, atmosphere, and crowd were wonderful! An awesome event that if it passes through BMORE next year I surely will attend.

I told the person, it wasn't a problem I simply wouldn't order from this restaurant. She talked over me, and continued to tell me it was my fault that I didn't order combos. When I got home I realized two of the sandwiches I ordered, were only breading with no fish. Upon returning to the restaurant the same woman told me "it wasn't possible" that I received my food this way. I was eventually refunded after continuing to complain. DO NOT ORDER

When was the last time you've sketched anything more then a level 3 process flow on a cocktail…read morenapkin during a working lunch? Do you remember a time when "figure study" meant something besides analyzing a budget report? For all of us Fine Arts majors who ended up as corporate ladder climbing cube-slaves, there is hope for us (if you're an arts major that didn't give up your dreams and are actually in an art related field - you can come too...just don't sit too close to me, or I may stab you with my #5 pencil) in the form of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School in Baltimore! It's not really an art school (hence the "anti-art school" in the title), it's more like a monthly drink and draw social club with live models in amazing costumes (OK, generally burlesque-esque costumes...over 21 only please), where for 4 hours, you can sketch away and remember a time when "carpel tunnel" was a disease you got from..."other" activities, not from creating 457 page Board Reports. Only $8 admission, and held at the Wind-Up Space in Baltimore, there are drink specials, fellow artist wannabes (and actual real-live breathing artists) to mingle and socialize with. All you need is to dig out that dusty sketchpad that your cat has been using as a scratching post, and a few pens and pencils (which you can happily "liberate" from your office supply cabinet) and transport yourself back to a time when creating beauty didn't involve powerpoint presentations.

This is cool display of public art in the Baltimore area. It is located in a Alley between N…read more Curley St. and N. Potomac St. They have a facebook page where you can view more of the public art and displays. This is a must see

How can I not review my local festival...! Of course, its a five star event! I really enjoyed…read moremyself and I can see why it draws such a crowd. This year was my first time going and I was pleasantly surprised! If you're like me and you get anxiety over festival parking, be assured that all you need to do is look at the festival map posted online for the event and they have clearly marked parking garages- all for 5 bucks! All liquor was 6 bucks, and food averaged 12 bucks on up. I ended up also getting doggie waffle treats for cheap. I loved their concept and interaction. Overall plenty to do... if you go make sure to check out the live music, vendors, and stay true to Maryland by checking out the seafood food stands! See you next year!

Had a nice time at the festival. I expected more of a carnival with a lot of rides but this was…read moremostly stalls selling artisan soaps and handmade clothing and jewelry. There were rides but mostly they were for the kids enjoyment. Definitely not complaining because slong with the wares there was an abundance of food you only find at festivals like funnel cake and huge turkey legs not to mention pad thai stalls and Jimmy seafood. I ate wayyy too much but i was happy with it. The beer garden was a nice touch for the adults. There was a band going which was nice back ground music. This was a really nice sunday strolling with friends and i got my mothers day shopping out the way!

Pepperoni pizza I love that they have a cheese pizza deal…read morefor $12 for pick up and then you pay extra $1 for the pepperoni. Cheap eats or where it's at! It's a good size pizza coming with eight slices. Fantastic cheese pull, and has a squeakiness to the cheese. If you know, you know. They were a little skimpy on the toppings, would've loved a few more pepperonis, especially since I'm paying for it. The dough was phenomenal; fresh, soft, with a nice crisp to it. The crust was so good, that after you finish eating the pizza you could take the end and dip it in some garlic sauce, if only they gave you some. The sauce was perfectly flavored, the tomatoes tasted fresh. I'm not a thin sliced pizza person, this one made me change my tune. This was a well executed pie. The owner told me that it was one of the best, I'll have to give it to him definitely high ranking, and definitely feeds my soul. Curly Fries Freshly fried, golden on the outside. No complaints, good fries. Italian Cold Cut I like the meat tasted fresh, thin, sliced, and the toppings were also fresh. I took off a star because it didn't fit the meat to bread ratio. It was too much bread and not enough meat to match the thickness of the roll. The role tasted fresh was good bread. All in all, it's good to see a mom and pop that has lasted the test of time. The new Management is extremely friendly, very helpful and welcoming. The customer service is top-notch. So yeah, check them out. Especially for the pizza.
