A simple sit-down BBQ joint, offering ribs, pulled pork, brisket, etc. of different regional styles, as well as some real mouth-watering Eastern Shore BBQ chicken. Aside from the chicken, the consensus standouts would be the signature Big Bad Wolf sandwich, the pork ribs, baked beans, and just about any of those sauces.

It's a new diner (occupying the space formerly known as the Golden Key, a venerable grease institution), but serves a big side of nostalgia and 1950s kitsch. Photos of Hamilton in the 50s dominate the walls, and seating is in cozy booths with individual jukebox machines. There are plans to expand into dinner, but for now spoons are greasy only for breakfast and lunch.

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.

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.
