RETRO REVIVAL
There ’ s no better way to start a postmodern day than with a classic diner
|
In need of a refreshing treat ? Stop for ice cream at
The Charmery , a Baltimore favorite that serves up
|
|
breakfast , and Canton ’ s Sip & Bite Diner has been slinging eggs and bacon ( and pancakes , and waffles , and … you get it ) since 1948 . The nostalgic design — complete with checkered floors and retro neon signage — brings you right back in time . Here for lunch ?
Don ’ t miss out on the crab cakes , which Guy Fieri featured on Food Network ’ s hit show “ Diners , Drive-Ins
& Dives .” They ’ re loved by locals , too , and the recipe hasn ’ t changed in 70 years .
|
artisanal ice cream flavors ( including only-here options like Old Bay Caramel and Berger Cookies & Cream !) in an old-fashioned space featuring a retro soda fountain .
Got your energy back up after all that shopping ? Time for some old school fun ! Book a skating session at the Shake
& Bake Family Fun Center in the Upton neighborhood of
West Baltimore . The rink , open since 1982 , gets its name from founder Glenn “ Shake and Bake ” Doughty , a former
Baltimore Colts wide receiver . There ’ s also a bowling alley
