It's true that we, as humans, greatly respond to our environment. In old literature, the author's description of the weather directly paralleled the mood of the characters. This happens in real life though, which is why we heed the advice of our mothers to save money for a rainy, boring day. At Paladar Latin Kitchen [...]
When it comes to old things, do we automatically assume a love for them or must we first understand the old thing to enjoy it? This question bears some meaning on downtown's The Federal House Bar and Grille, established in 1830. The restaurant is of course old (as you can clearly tell from the interior), [...]
The craze for fresh, organic, locally grown food isn't necessarily new to Annapolis.

What is it about Italian food that is so enticing, comforting, and required every once in a while? Is it the chance for carb overload? Or, is it the fresh, no frills food that celebrates its ingredients? Does the food remind us of simpler, laid-back times? Whatever the reason, it is widely accepted that some [...]
There's something so special and comforting about pubs. It could be the warm food cooked down-home-style that is easily shared with friends, families, and perhaps even strangers at the next table. Another thought is that the atmosphere of a pub is what makes it so enchanting--the focus on good drinks, close quarters, and maybe some [...]
