Dego Dames is absolutely one of my favorite "real Baltimore" bars. You know youre in Little Italy because of all the Dean Martin on the jukebox - but you also know youre in Baltimore because of the Elvis in the jukebox and the enormous fresco of Johnny U on the wall. Normal people - no uppity Cantonites or Federal Hillians. Come back soon, Dego Dames.

Dego Dames looked like it was open again when I passed last night...
