First Time In Baltimore? Here Are 5 Restaurants You NEED To Try
https://www.everypixel.com/search?q=baltimore%2Bsk...
Whether you've lived in Baltimore your whole life or you're just passing through and looking for a great place to eat, you can't go wrong with any of these options. Baltimore is home to so many different restaurants that serve up every type of food you can think of, so there is always something new to try. Here are five of the best spots to check out.

1. Barcocina

  • With waterfront views and Mexican inspired food, Barcocina is one of the best places in Fells Point for brunch or dinner. In the morning, try their huevos rancheros or the ricotta waffles with blackberries and lemon. For dinner, start with their Oaxaca style guacamole. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
  • Ice cream bonus: go to Pitango for gelato while you're in Fells Point and eat it on the benches by the water. Raspberry sorbet and stracciatella gelato is the best combination.

2. Miss Shirley's

Coconut cream stuffed French toast that was featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. Monkey bread. A menu with so many delicious items that I normally end up reading it three times before I can decide what to get. Their two Baltimore locations are in Roland Park and the Inner Harbor, but the one in the Inner Harbor is right near the water. They also have rotating flavors of the month for their pancakes and waffles, so every time you go there is something different to try!

3. Clark Burger

If you're looking for a great burger, this is the place to get it. Canadian-inspired Clark Burger has a simple menu of burgers, fries, and poutine, and all of it is served up fresh on metal trays in paper dishes. They have two locations, one in Fells Point and another in Belvedere Square. Two recommendations: the Clark Burger and the Gringo.

4. Cafe Hon

A classic Baltimore restaurant in Hamden. You can't miss the giant pink flamingo right above the door! I normally go for brunch and get the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with fresh fruit and potatoes. There are tons of shops in the area to explore, so stick around after the meal and check them out.

Ice cream bonus: hit up the Charmery and try out their Maryland Mud flavor in a homemade waffle cone.

5. R. House

I've never been to R. House, but I've heard so many good things about the meals and space! With ten chefs all serving up different options and styles of food in one area, R. House is definitely on my list of restaurants I want to try. From pizza to coffee, to sushi, R. House has a huge variety of food all under one roof.

Baltimore is the best place to be if you're looking for some good eats. Every neighborhood has its own set of restaurants to enjoy. Come to Baltimore for the food, but stay to explore all of the shops and experiences here. Fells Point and the Inner Harbor are both right on the water, and Hamden has some great vintage boutiques. Try out these restaurants and then see what else is nearby!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
