Food Scene
This historic spot gets its own category because it is a true jewel of Baltimore city and it’s 1.5 blocks away! First thing to know is they’re closed on Sundays and Mondays so don’t miss your chance to get:
Authentic Italian deli sandwiches
An array of Italian cookies
Deli goods: cold cuts/ olives/ stuffed peppers
Grocery (great prices on dry goods, fresh homemade pastas and doughs)
Best prices for wines in the city
And the folks who work there have been there forever and are so kind. Visit them!
