Vin 909: An Exceptional Treat In Eastport
On our first visit to Vin 909, the whirl of the ceiling fans maintained a nice breeze on a 100-degree day. It was brutal outside, so we didn’t even think about sitting in the lovely outdoor covered area. Although there are a limited number of tables in this establishment, additional seating is tucked away in […]
Saladworks: It Works For Me
Several months ago, a new restaurant opened in the Annapolis Towne Centre at Parole called Saladworks. Just the name itself, is right up my alley, and from the first time we went, it has been a favorite! Bright orange, purple, and green walls decorate the space, along with a poster size picture of the franchise […]
Cafe Normandie: The French Connection
In the spirit of supporting downtown Annapolis business, along with a Living Social deal, we decided to have lunch at Cafe Normandie. This was our first visit, although we had talked about trying it on our frequent walks up and down Main Street. My husband, Paul has happy childhood memories of crepes, most certainly coming […]
Mike’s Crab House: Paradise On The South River
On an unseasonably warm day in March, what could be better than enjoying lunch on the deck at Mike’s Crab House? Mike’s has been an Annapolis area institution since 1958, and is dramatically located overlooking the South River at the Riva Road Bridge. The view was vacation-like on that particular beautiful, sunny day with a slight […]

Mt. Vernon Restaurant Worth The Trip
So, I am starting to get familiar with the Mt. Vernon area since my former roommate, friend, and fellow food snob moved to Baltimore. Her hubby works in Mt. Vernon. So last weekend I popped up to her ‘hood for a wine tasting at the Engineers Club and then a little dinner at Marie Louise […]
Nova: For The Sushi Fanatic
I haven’t always liked Sushi. Just ask my husband about my first experience 12 years ago. Not only did the thought of raw fish make me queasy, but I am a texture person and so Roe (or fish eggs) getting caught in my teeth… no thanks. About four years ago I started to explore cooking. […]
Olé! A QuickTrip To The Mexican Café
For the past 17 years, one could drive down Forest Drive and see the little Tijuana building that held the favorite dive for many locals — the Mexican Café. Many a gathering happened both indoors and out and then a major pharmacy bought out the land and forced the little eatery to relocate. After much planning, […]
