It’s cold outside but with local restaurant week promotions in full swing and a handful of fun events on the horizon, there are plenty of good reasons to bundle up and head out to eat in Baltimore this week. Here’s a look at what’s on tap:
Hot Plate: Bacardi dinner at The Bygone, Boiler Room opens, DaMimmo closes and more
Hot Plate: Restaurant Week, changes at Cunningham’s & The Milton Inn, NiHao pop-up and more
It’s a new year, full of resolutions, promise — and opportunity to eat well in Baltimore. This year kicks off with lots of exciting news of openings, renovations, and expansions. Plus, it’s Restaurant Week season, which means it’s prime time to peruse menus.
Here’s a look at what’s happening in the Baltimore restaurant scene this week:
Baltimost: Jefferson A. Russell, actor with Everyman Theatre
Baltimost is a Baltimore Fishbowl feature series that asks locals what they love about their city. The idea is to celebrate Baltimore and the people who make it so unique.
So what makes Baltimore the Baltimost to you? It could be a favorite place, a great meal, a memorable interaction or something else entirely. Email suggestions to Karen at [email protected]
Jefferson A. Russell, 53, actor
As a member of the Everyman Theatre’s resident company, I have steady work and an artistic home.
Baltimore Holiday Report
I don’t know if I’m going soft in my old age or what, but I didn’t hate the holidays at all this year. From the morning I ran outside barefoot in my bathrobe to give the garbage men a twenty-dollar bill, it was just one sweet moment after another. Since my children don’t live here anymore, it was lovely to have a couple of them return. Jane helped me get the Christmas tree and Vince found Chanukah candles for 89 cents a box. Then I cooked their favorite dishes as they sat side by side on the couch joyously playing Mario Kart on the Nintendo Switch. Hayes and Maria were in Ecuador with her family but showed up on Facetime at key moments.

Q&A With Malka Older, Author of “…and Other Disasters”
