There is nothing quite like Malibu Cafe at Calamigo Ranch. An outing there is an experience. It a perfect date location for the 1st date or old married couple. The menu has quite a of comfort food selections such as devilled eggs, pulled pork, hamburgers, fabulous eggs rolls and more. Words will scarcely do it justice. Moreover, we will leave a few surprises for your first visit there.

There are some places that are destinations and some that are just neighborhoods where people live, work, and enjoy life. One such neighborhood is in Baltimore County on Liberty Road. As a person who frequents the area, I  was excited to see Salvadorian eating establishment Pupuseria Y Panaderia Vanessa  pop up. It's not fancy, but it's a family-run operation that has a laidback neighborhood feel.

Going to tearooms is hard work, but somebody's has to do it, and by George I take my job seriously. So, when I looked online and found a little tea spot located in a historic property called Stone Mansion, I was very intrigued. There happened to be a Christmas tea coming up—all the more intriguing. So I come upon the property of this quaint little spot and I'm greeted by Julia Faye Briggs, owner of the Tea by Julia Faye. She is friendly like your Auntie Julia who's always trying to make sure your comfortable at her home. As she bustles around getting things ready for the Christmas tea,  I'm making myself comfortable amongst the various Victorian pieces, checking out the beautiful tea pots and other paraphenalia. Yes, this is going to be a good visit.

So if you've seen the movie "A Bronx Tale" you are probably familiar with actor Chazz Palminteri, and if you live in Baltimore you are probably now familiar with the buzz behind the actor's new restaurant, Chazz: A Bronx Original.  As the story goes, Palminteri was in town doing a show and dined at Aldo's Restaurant in Baltimore's Little Italy. He loved the Italian cuisine so much that he came back ten days in a row. It was then and there that he formed a bond with brothers, Alessandro and Sergio Vitale,  the owners of Aldo's. Having a desire to open up his own restaurant, it's no wonder he went back to the creators of his unforgettable culinary experience to form a partnership for Chazz: A Bronx Original.

The experience of Chazz is meant to transport you to an apparently sentimental era for the actor—a time where he used to frequent Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, the main culinary thoroughfare of the New York City borough. It's a warm and cozy spot to invite a few friends to eat and talk and eat some more, like you did when you were a kid eating pizza at your favorite pizza shop. Arthur Avenue isn't the only thing that's emulated, the way of making Bronx-style pizza is replicated by using a real coal-fired oven. Now we're in business!

In the mood for some good, no some great Greek Mediterranean food? Then look no further than eXo Greek Mediterranean Restaurant nestled in a quaint Whitestone New York neighborhood. eXo is a very young restaurant, they first opened their doors in August of 2010 and they have been busy ever since. I first experienced a small sampling of what eXo had to offer at the Queens A Taste of the World back in May. The restaurant boasts of traditional Greek recipes but with a flare.
