Charm City

Sailing in the Inner Harbor. Artscape festival in Mt. Royal. A quirky coffee shop. Old Bay. Vaccaro's delicious cannoli's in Little Italy. Cobble stone streets. Movies at the Senator. Hollins Market. Charles Village colorful homes. Penn Station. Books from the Pratt Library. The American Visionary Art Museum. Patterson Park. Baseball at Camden Yards. Crab cakes at Lexington Market. Natty Beer.

For these reasons and so much more, I love Baltimore. I have fallen in love with Charm City and my feelings are simply unexplainable. It's something between me and the city- 'My City'. I love how it maintains keeping it's past identity but also strives to create something new. But most of all I love the feeling I get when I drive into Baltimore City and how it welcomes me back. This city is my new home- my home away from home. All my memories from it are now a part of it's history forever. So, to Baltimore, 'My Lady B!'

And now I share my love for Baltimore with you...

Best Persian Restaurant in Baltimore


Orchard Market and Cafe
8815 Orchard Tree Lane, Towson, MD

While there are several general Middle Eastern restaurants in Baltimore City, I have not been able to specifically find a Persian restaurant. Being that I am half Persian, I find myself often missing my father's traditional dishes. Therefore, when I saw a Groupon deal for the Orchard Market and Cafe, a Persian restaurant, I had to try it. And Persian it was! The menu had an array of Persian classics like koobideh (beef kabob) or juje fesenjune (chicken in walnut-pomegranate sauce). Plus they serve tastey side dishes like yogurt and cucumber salad. The restaurant also has a very typical Persian setting with lots of rugs, tea sets and ethnic artwork. But most importantly, the cuisine is delicious for any occasion.
