A bite to eat after the movie
I checked my e-mail too late to help Charm City mom Kate, and I didn't have a great answer for her anyway.
The last time I went to the Landmark, my friends and I had ice cream at the Haagen Dazs next door. But that doesn't have the vibe I think she's looking for.
Here's Kate's e-mail:
The husband and I, still stuffed from brunch at Woodberry Kitchen, are heading to a movie tonight at the Landmark. I know we won't want a full dinner, but we will want a lovely appetizer after the movie with a drink. Or possibly just dessert. What's the one thing you would order in Harbor East, and what would you pair it with?
I'm not the best one to answer this question. First of all, I usually mortgage my house to buy popcorn and a soda during the movie, so I can't afford to eat anything afterward.
But if I had to mention something from personal experience and not do any research -- such as what Cinghiale's or Roy's bar and/or dessert menus consist of -- I guess I would say hummus and a glass of wine at one of Lebanese Taverna's outdoor tables.
I'd also look into what Teavolve offers in the way of desserts, and maybe consider sushi at Chiu's.
One of you may have a better suggestion.
it sounds like the kids were out of town for the day, doesn't it? Brunch at Woodberry Kitchen and a movie and something at a nice Harbor East restaurant afterward. Ooh la la.

We saw "Julie & Julia" at the Landmark recently, and just strolled over to Cinghiale afterwards for a light dinner. You could just order an appetizer, I imagine, if you choose the more casual side.

If you don't mind thumping music, Ra Sushi has an amazing cinnamon tempura ice cream and good cocktails. Also, if Latin flavor is more your style, check out Talara's mojitos w/ ceviche and other tapas. Enjoy.

Potstickers and calamari at the bar or the chef's table at Roy's Hawaiian Fusion.

Thanks, all! We ended up at Lebanese Taverna, having the light mezze plate, which was quite satisfying. And yes, it was a restaurant extravaganza this weekend. It was not only my birthday but my husband's, plus his parents were visiting and could babysit. So we were living it up.
