Carolina's on the east side of Broadway in Fells Point has Mexican soccer at times on a small TV for the staff to watch, but is a refuge from the bloated Ravens games. It's one of my favorite ethnic places to take out of town guests: great Latino food and nice people.

Here are a few places I know that don't serve the Purple Kool-Aid:

Ze Mean Bean Cafe in Fell's Point - with the added bonus of jazz music and acoustic Russian traditionals.

Dukem on Maryland Ave - with the added bonus of an authentic Ethiopian coffee ceremony at 3:00pm

The Oregon Grille in horse country (enclosed front porch) with the added bonus of live piano music

The Miltion Inn in Sparks with the added bonus of piped classical music which makes you feel like you are in a Jane Austen novel - and the best Eggs Rockefeller I've ever tasted.

Would love to know about more Sunday brunches offering live music - jazz, piano, whatever.

Richard - sorry to nitpick, but it is tomorrow's (possessive), not tomorrows (plural). Mr. McIntyre would not be amused.

Apostrophes. Damned if you do, damned if you dont.

Hamilton Tavern on Harford Road.

Chesapeake Wine Company in Canton is a Raven-free zone that is open until 6 p.m. on Sundays, and not only can you hang out and eat delicious cheeses with your wine in-house, the CWC is the rarest of all liquor-themed Baltimore rarities: You can also buy your booze there on Sundays, when all the liquor stores are closed.

KB, if your looking for booze on Sunday head over to the liquor store on Fleet St., not too far from CWC. They are open on Sunday for wine, liquor and beer. You can also have a drink at the bar in the back.

J. Patricks in Locust Point, best Irish coffee ever. No tvs but they might put the game on the radio if someone asks.

This should be cross posted with Midnight Sun.

Unless something has changed, McGarvey's in Annapolis doesn't have TV's.

Also there used to be a Steeler bar in southwest Baltimore called the Purple Goose. I doubt they had the Ravens on the TV.

That would be the Purple Moose, I think. In Morrell Park. It was still there the last time I drove by, but that's been a few years.

I thought the Purple Goose was in Southwest Baltimore but the Purple Moose was in Ocean City.

Ah, sorry. A quick google search shows my memory was mistaken. The bar in Morrell Park is indeed the Purple Goose.

Mea culpa.

Yes, James, I do know about the liquor store near the laundromat on Fleet Street but the CWC is a little less ... sketchy. :-) Also, MUCH closer to my house -- my husband has trekked 10 blocks home from the Fleet Street store with a few too many cheap 30 packs. Two bottles of wine in a paper bag from the Wine Company is a little more manageable!

Alice doesn't live there anymore

My house is generally Ravens-free. But call ahead before you drop in.

I have nothing against football, but Sunday afternoons I am usually napping. Besides, I pray for DC United every week during their season. Football, right??
