Overlea Diner
Lost in the 50s brings the kitsch, while Overlea brings nothing but authenticity--it approaches the Platonic diner ideal type. Cheap beyond all reason, breakfast all day, Hon-served scrapple, and over 65 years of stool-use. The only digressions are the notably clean and bright interior, and the strong Bawlmer accents wafting around the room, piggybacking the smell of syrup.

Frank's Pizza & Pasta
An unassuming Italian restaurant, with surprisingly good food inside, and very friendly service (and patrons!). The pastas are as excellent as the pizzas, which come either thin crust or thick pan pizza. The meaty crabcakes are another pleasant surprise.

Chaps Pit Beef
Chaps has long served the best pit beef in the city, and is the place to come if you want the real deal. The location is seedy (but perfectly safe), next to a strip club and an adult video wholesaler. Chaps itself is a nice place, however, to sit and enjoy your meal on the wood picnic tables enveloped in Ravens colors. The pit beef eclipses all else on the menu, but the dry-rub ribs as well as the rice pudding merit a little extra expense. (The lines, which shot out the door after the gurus at the Food Network, Travel Channel, et al., caught the little sandwich shop in their massive spotlight, have thankfully died down.)

Toby's Dinner Theatre
A great musical theatre which has presented musicals from Joesph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to Les Miserables and Nunsense.
