Review: Phillip’s Seafood

November 28, 2011May 28, 2013 by Evan The Mayor

Over the holiday weekend, fellow blogger/advicer SpaceManAndy and I decided to try out the new Philips Seafood location in the Inner Harbor area, who famously moved into the old vacant ESPN Zone space and reopened in the past few weeks. What follows are our observations on the “new” Philips. Enjoy! Evan: So like, Philips. I was […]

C&R Pub: First Impressions

November 16, 2011 by Evan The Mayor

So here we are with the new place, what was once Taverna Corvino is now C&R (Cowboys and Rednecks) Pub (1117 S Charles St., Federal Hill), an offering of theme restaurant meets Federal Hill nightlife establishment. “So what’s it like?” you’re asking yourself 63 times a day. Welll sir, I popped in there the other […]

Kloby’s Smokehouse is awesome

And the few times I had strolled past Chocolatea on foot I figured it was a fairly run-of-the-mill coffee shop with a remotely […]

(edit/correction: like some other joints that wind up bought/sold/transferred, SoBo is still in operation. Forgot to add that – thanks to restaurant wizzzard @gorelickingood for pointing that out!) I close my eyes Only for a moment and the moment’s gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes a curiosity Dust in the wind All they […]

Taverna Corvino to become steak-and-redneck related restaurant

September 6, 2011 by Evan The Mayor

In case you missed it last week amidst the unending Grand Prix coverage, Federal Hill’s Taverna Corvino space (1117-19 S Charles St.) had itself a little transfer of ownership (leased property) from the McComas-in-name-only crowd to one C+R Pub, which is in practice going to supposedly be a steakhouse, and the C+R stands for “Cowboys […]
