South of Cross Street Market, about 10 blocks on the left is RUB Restaurant Texas Barbeque. Michael Marx, past owner/chef of Blue Agave in Federal Hill is off to a good start. Great restaurant idea before, during/after Ravens Games.
At long last, the old Polo Grill, 4 West @ The Colonnade is re-opened with SPICE Restaurant. From salads to burgers to exotic dishes, John Yuhanick has partnered with the owners of Baltimore famed Indian Restaurant The Ambassador. We wish them good luck.

A lovely time was had @ the last Restaurant Association of Washington DC mtg @ Perry's Restaurant of Adams Morgan. Thx, Laura. Chi chi cocktails & appetizers were served high atop their rooftop deck. Lynne (my New Orleans connection), Patrick & Betsy of RAM were welcoming.
Baltimore is now home to the USA's most comprehensive museum of Pop Culture. Founded by Steve Geppi, run by Wendy Kelman & Julie Meadow, Geppi's Entertainment Museum is jam packed of the coolest pop art from Mickey Mouse Club, Star Wars, comic books (remember when they were 5 cents?), art, posters, watches, lunch boxes --all the way back to 1925. This is a nationally important museum for America you have to visit. Located @ Oriole Park @ Camden Yards in Baltimore, parking is easy and so is access from Philly to Baltimore or DC. Check it out! The grand opening was fab!
CITYPEEK learned of a new POSH DC Supper Club concept moving into the old Ortanique spot. This POSH Supper Club Restaurant will be directly across from the luxury conference center hotel, Grand Hyatt DC. More info to follow. Opening November 2006.
Just spent the weekend in DC. Stayed @ the small, convenient and quiet Courtyard by Marriott DC NW, across from the convention @ the DC Hilton on Connecticut. A visit to Georgetown strolling the streets is a must on your next visit in the nation's capital. Great boutiques from antiques to high end stores like InterMix, Barney's, Georgetown Mall, Dean & Deluca. It is a great way to shop and still be outside and check out the DC architecture. Visited a great authentic Austrian Coffeeshop near Relish Boutique. Great find.
The Business Journal reports: that McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant will open a 8,000 SF restaurant at the $2 billion National Harbor Complex on the Potomac River. The Complex will house 2800 hotel rooms, 250 time shares & 450,000 sf convention space Spring 2008.
Cheesecake Factory is slated to open in Dulles Town Center. Don't you think the portions are so big there?
