Tomorrow's Top Ten

TakeAGuess

 

I have to admit I'm struggling with the Top Ten Places That Put the Charm in Charm City. The problem is that I've fallen in love with the slogan even though it's so broad as to almost be meaningless. Plus people have given me so many good suggestions that I'm thinking there are really two Top Tens here: restaurants that have character unique to Baltimore, and restaurants that have charm.

So tomorrow I'm going to deal exclusively with charm, and feature restaurants with character later this year. Any thoughts?

One of the reasons I hadn't replied was the broadness of the category and not understanding what it was supposed to mean.

If I want a really good meal in a place where i feel at-home comfortable, I head to Thai Arroy in Federal Hill. It's not just that the food is good, or that the decor is cool, but the staff are so nice and decent that it almost feels like i'm eating with family.

If that's charm, then that's my vote. It's not uniquely Baltimore, and there's no roaring fireplace, but I love it.

Are you ever going to say what the picture is? I'm very curious.

It's Ethel & Ramone's. I thought someone would guess.
