Progressive dinners at your favorite neighborhood restaurants
Once again this fall Harbor East is the setting for a progressive dinner, which I'll tell you about first and then suggest a couple of other possibilities.
I actually got a review of the one last year from one of the participants. I hope if any of you go this year, you'll let us know about it.
You'll get one course at each of these six restaurants: RA Sushi, Pazo, Cinghiale, Oceanaire Seafood Room, Lebanese Taverna and Roy's.
The date is Wednesday, Oct. 15. There are two seatings, one at 6 p.m. and one at 7 p.m.
Reservations are required. You can go to HarborEast.com to make them or to find out more about the evening. You can also call 410-752-9331. ...
The cost is $95 a person, which pays for dinner, drinks, tax and tip.
Participants are escorted from restaurant to restaurant in 4 groups of 20. There will also be "surprise performances" along the way.
I find the idea of a progressive dinner sponsored by a neighborhood's restaurants appealing. I'd like to see Lauraville/Hamilton doing it. Drinks at Lauraville House, hors d'oeuvres at Los Amigos, first courses at Hamilton Tavern, entrees at Chameleon Cafe, dessert at Clementine. Of course, you'd have longer walks between restaurants, but would that be so bad?
Or how about Fells Point? Drinks at Todd Conner's or Alexander's (or name your favorite tavern here), hors d'oeuvres at Mezze, first courses at Kali's Court, entrees at Fin, and dessert at Meli.
I'd keep going for Canton, Federal Hill, Ellicott City and Bel Air, but I don't want to do all the work here.

EL, you just described our Halloween plans in Hamilton/Lauraville! But we might grab coffee at Grind On as well.

Oh, I was hoping for a politically progressive dinner. Oh well.

Progressive politics in Harbor East, Jon? You are an optimist...

My suggestions for Bel Air & Forest Hill: Drinks at DuClaw's, antipasti from Savona, pasta at Enotria, entrees at Scottos, espresso and pastry from Coffee-Coffee.

There are certainly the places to do progressive dinner in Mt. Washington - the problem is I can't remember anything by name. There's the uh Falls Rd Coffee shop and Falls Road bakery, and the tavern for drinks and the middle eastern place for dinner, and the crepe place for dessert. What a tour guide I would make! You can only imagine the directions I give.
