A couple of weekends ago Pollo and I drove down to Baltimore to meet our friends and celebrate their new engagement and we met up in a neighborhood north of the Inner Harbor District called Hampden.
We had no idea what to expect, but from Google Maps, we saw that the restaurant was on a street with other little shops and restaurants to it seemed a great spot to stop and eat and hang out.
We went to lunch at Golden West Cafe that the interwebs said had a lot of vegan options for my friend and when we arrived we all felt that we were in an artsy neighborhood in Berkeley or LA. The restaurant was quirky and filled with a mishmash of retro decorations that somehow went really well together in its randomness.
The food was sightly latin inspired with lots of guacamole and salsa many options and quite delicious. At the front of the restaurant they have a garage door that they can hoist open so that there is an indoor/outdoor feel.
After lunch we walked around the neighborhood and poked into a few different shops and took in the street art until we came upon a shop, Dangerously Delicious, that just sold pie! It was like a dream come true. I ordered a Chocolate Chess Pie that I took warm with whipped cream that was dangerously large, like a whole quarter piece, when it arrived at our table. The crust was a little tough, but over all it was a delightful pie experience.
We had a nice time wandering around and then sitting around on the porch of the pie shop just chatting and eating pie. It was fun to explore a new neighborhood and see all that it had to offer and catch up with friends. Next time we head down to Baltimore I think we'll try another location in the Hampden area.
