Kisling's Tavern Restaurant Review
You'd have to look hard to find a more neighborhoody bar in Baltimore than Kisling's. It's the kind of place you wander into through its propped-open door on a nice day and end up not leaving for hours. Aside from the friendly bartenders, jovial customers and always ice cold beer, great bar food keeps patrons coming back. If they ever leave at all.

Mother's Federal Hill Grille Review
Ravens game day in Federal Hill means one thing - Mother's. But the neighborhood bar and grill is a solid choice for reliable, tasty, and affordable bar food no matter what the occasion. The place to be in Federal Hill before, during, and after the games on football Sundays is a fine choice the rest of the year as well.

India Rasoi Restaurant Review
What's India Rasoi doing in the middle of Baltimore's Little Italy neighborhood? I still don't know the answer to that, but I do know this: the family-run Indian restaurant has subsisted for years now because of its honest, straight-forward authentic food.
