A few days after I posted something about Sam Sessa's sniffing out Pazo's cupcakes-and-cocktails nights, I stumbled upon the same unlikely combo at another Baltimore restaurant.

I happened to be on the phone with Peter Mooradian, general manager of Milan, the new hipster Italian place in Little Italy. You know, the one that lists prices in dollars and euros?

I'd called Mooradian on a matter related to The Talk column I write, but I mentioned that I was also minding the Dining@Large blog these days. I asked him to let me know if he had any interesting restaurant news. Not, say, a two-for-one entree deal. But something unusual, like that cupcakes-and-cocktails thing at Pazo.

Mdlrvrmuncher asked for some other late-night places. We live to serve.

Here's what Carry Out Sam suggested:

In Federal Hill, Mother's serves a late night menu, Thirsty Dog has their delicious personal pizzas until 1 or 2 a.m., Trattoria Annamaria (italian deli/shop) is open until 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and Maria D's is open until 2 a.m. Sunday-Thursday and 10 a.m.-2:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday (best single slice of pizza in the neighborhood).

Thirsty Dog, by the way, is now the Dog Pub.
