Congratulations to Sommelier Julie Dalton of Wit & Wisdom at the Four Seasons Baltimore for earning title of DC region's Rising Star Award in Maryland by www.StarChefs.com. Come to Battle of the Sommeliers January 27 as Julie Dalton takes on her Maryland counterpart, Sommelier, Christopher Cocker of Aggio by Bryan Voltaggio.

Regi’s American Bistro  is known as the “Cheers Bar of Federal Hill,” a spot where locals ages 30-75 flock daily to kibbitz, catch up on the day and just relax, eat and sip their favorite cocktail. Pikesville native, Alan Morstein, who co-owns the downtown bistro with his wife, Sande, loves what he does; and it shows.

A new concept is opening in Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood that plans to center its world around the beloved starch, the potato. My favorite food group! The Local Fry plans to open beginning of December, if not sooner, at 21 E. Cross Street, just in time to fill your table with the side that complements all feasts.

Now that the weather has shifted into less humid, days and cooler nights, grab your best buddy happy hour and head outside to eat, sip and swirl in Charm City. Below is a peek at some of the most popular al fresco dining spots in and around the heart of Baltimore, MD. And, let's go ORIOLES- #WeWontStop believing in our birds.

Ok Baltimore Beer Fans, it is only one month away until Baltimore Beer Week, the 6th annual celebration of all, well craft beers local in the Baltimore City and Baltimore County areas.
