The Must-Do’s at The Maryland State Fair - 2010

It’s definitely that time of year again. The Maryland State Fair is back! Which is really cool if you think about it, because it means that autumn is just around the corner, and Maryland does autumn really well. And Maryland does the State Fair like, well, the Starship 4000 (a ride).  So climb on in, forget your straps (there… more

Sac (and Save) a Baguette

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

A Little Too Jazzed?

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

July 4th, 2010 in D.C.—the Must Do’s

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. Roof Terrace and Lounge on top of the W Hotel. While those Roman Candles are flashing red, white and blue, The Honey Brothers will be performing their swank and… more

ExecuCar - Luxury Travel in Baltimore

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 Willard Washington Intercontinental Hotel in D.C.

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

Baltimore to D.C.

People who live in Baltimore often think it’s a big hassle to go the 45 miles to D.C. because of the traffic.  They’d be right.  It kind of is.  But there are alternatives.  On the weekdays, the MARC train is easily accessible and very inexpensive (don’t even think about taking an Amtrak unless you want to spend an extra… more
