Snap! Another loaf bites the dust. Baltimore designer Marybeth Shaw witnessed a little too much bread carnage in Paris in 1992. While the savvy French were already into reusing their totes, or “sacs,” Shaw noticed that these green grocery shoppers had to snap their crusty baguettes in half in order to get them home. Two decades and a slew… more

In our July/August issue, we may have been a little too jazzed up (did we mention there’ll be wine?) when we announced that the Baltimore Museum of Art’s upcoming Jazz in the Sculpture Garden concert series was free. These ticketed events will be happening on select Saturdays in July and August and will feature such artists as Auguste Rodin… more

A Boom With a View? You bet. Where’s the best rooftop view, closest to the White House, for the perfect July 4th fireworks display for America’s 234th birthday? The P.O.V.

So who, in Baltimore, offers private late model, luxury sedan service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with experienced, business-attired drivers, for a flat rate fare, with airport “meet and greet” services (if so requested), and airport transfers, point-to-point services, event transportation, etc., etc., etc.?

The lobby is seeped in history-meets-society. The halls smell like a new pack of cards. The rooms are as distinguished as Brioni suits. Here, smack on the cusp of the White House lawn (one long block away), is the historical, Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, Beaux-Arts architectural wonder—the luxury 4-star Willard Hotel. If you’re looking for the best hotel to hit… more

Mickey and Minnie have come back to the 1st Mariner Arena, bringing with them the usual Disney suspects: Donald Duck, Goofy, Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket, Timon, Pumba, Nemo, Buzz Lightyear, all the princesses and more.
