THE DISH ON DINING
Whether you want to enjoy a meal at a restaurant or grab the perfect sandwich to go , Baltimore is giving new meaning to outdoor dining , and these ideas will give you a first look at it all .
EAT OUT
Pop-up parklets may have emerged as a result of the pandemic this past summer , but the scrappy parking spaces-turned-al fresco dining areas are likely to stay . Not sure which one to visit ? You can choose from Korean short ribs at SoBo Café in Federal Hill , a blue cheese and bacon burger at Kooper ’ s Tavern in Fell ’ s Point or 24K gold chicken wings at The Civil in Mount Vernon , all while staying safe and comfortable in an open outdoor space .
GRAB & GO
When visiting Charm City , do as the locals do and stop by Red Canoe Café , a women-owned neighborhood institution recognized for its just-pressed paninis and wide selection of renowned cookbooks . Take your meal to neighboring Herring Run Park for a scenic atmosphere , as it offers more than 2 miles of picnic space , walking trails and hiking routes , all alongside a beautiful stream that runs throughout the park .
TASTE
DAY TRIP
From fried chicken sandwiches to handcrafted pizza , R . House — Baltimore ’ s industrial food hall located in the Remington neighborhood — has something for everyone . Head here to eat on the outdoor patio or take your food to go after browsing all 10 food stalls . But before your nosh , stop by the Baltimore Museum of Art ’ s sculpture garden located just a few minutes down the road . The garden often hosts live performances , and the grounds are peppered with inspired works from 19th-century and modern artists . VB
