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.

Price: $13-23

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.

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.

Shamrock Inn
Given a nod in Esquire Magazine's best 150 bars in America (sharing the distinction with only one other Maryland bar, the Brewer's Art in Midtown), this is a good Bawlmer biker bar to get your teeth knocked down your throat by a big tattooed broad. Or just to generally have a very colorful, entertaining evening (don't misunderstand, the place is absolutely accepting of newcomers of any stripes). It is also a great place for live rock music. John Waters loves the place.
