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.

Address: 6652 Belair Rd
Hours: Mon-Sat 6AM-9PM, Sun 7AM-7PM
Price: $2.50-9

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.

Shockers Smoke Shop
This is basically a high end "head shop," where you'll find glass blowers actually creating bongs in shop. Custom glass pipes of all sorts can be commissioned at the shop. Plenty of other, ahem, paraphernalia, but expect it to be a bit more pricey than usual.

Vú Skateboard Shop
A skater-owned and operated skate shop, with an ethos that includes donations and demonstrations for lower income communities and keeping a small ramp in the back, in case they start feeling bored. Pronounced "view," and stocked with apparel, boards, and accessories.

Parkville Bowling Lanes
Similarly remote, and a similarly fun escape from the city center. It is Maryland style duck-pin bowling, so it's especially great for kids who aren't yet ready to wield the big balls. They also have a video arcade, pizza and beer, and easy parking.
