Rich runs the Park Bench Pub a few doors down on Belt St. Don't let the location fool you, he was a sushi chef in New York. Low key place and good for sports.

The Wine Market has great food and thoughtfully selected wines in an old foundry building with much of the industrial equipment and patina still there. If you dine in you get a discount on wine as you leave - great for a bottle on the back porch! Sunday brunch is quiet and relaxing.

Food Scene
Cross Street Market is both a place and a concept - the inside of the market has its ups and downs, but the seafood and big beers at the southwest end will keep everyone happy. Great pre-game spot for Ravens or Orioles. There are bars and restaurants surrounding the market on all sides, and various street parties happen here year round.
