Fells Point Farmer's Market New This Season! Every Saturday!
Finally, Fells Point has a market. YES!
Don't get me wrong, I love the Sunday market. However, sometimes I run out of food by Friday or I can't make it on Sunday.
Now, I can walk to a Saturday market instead of planning to drive up 83, which is just a pain.
Market will run until November 12th. Hours of operation are 7:30am-11:30am [Rain or Shine].
I heard they may have music this week. Coming soon will be Chef demonstrations etc...

I love this poster!
I want to personally thank the Fells Point Main Street (local non-profit) for working to get a Market back in this community. I came to understand that a single business owner in the area provided the start up funds! WOW! How cool is that?
So, if you like the idea of having a market in the area you can walk to, get out there and shop until you drop!
If you have ideas on vendors or craftsmen let the Fells Point Main Street booth know. The goal is to expand the market down the pier so, go each week to see how it shapes up.
Another awesome thing about this market is the Market Manager. She is always visible and will personally walk you through the market. To my knowledge, Dogs are allowed!
She has even built a facebook page for the market to communicate to residents and allow for the vendors to communicate! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fells-Point-Farmers-Market/
I know the market got a small start but the number of vendors and offerings continues to grow weekly. Here is a small list of the vendors as of this week and their specialties:
Big City Farms Lettuces
Bonaparte Breads Fresh Baked French Bread/Savory & Sweet Pastry, Quiche...
They sell stuff not available in their stores - they sell out fast so get there early!
Evermore Farms Beef/Pork/Lamb/Chicken
Three Springs Fruit Farm Fruit & Apple Butter
Banner Bees Honey,Bee pollen items
Dragonfly Farms Produce/flowers
Simply Woofable Dog treats from scratch
Gravel Springs Farm Produce/fruits
Homeland Organic Fair trade Organic coffee & Hot Sauces
Vegan Goodies Vegan baked goods

Captain Larry's Sunday Brunch- Federal Hill Hidden Treasure
CAPTAIN LARRY'S
601 East Fort Avenue
Baltimore, MD 21230-4722
(410) 727-4799
Open Mon 4pm-2am; Tue-Sun 11:30am-2am
I recently had the pleasure of discovering another Baltimore hidden treasure. Sunday brunch at Captain Larry's on Fort Ave. A very tiny corner bar with just a few tables and some bar seats. Cash ONLY but does have an ATM on the inside - convenient!
Our party kicked the morning off right with booze! Can't beat the $3 bloodies (Spicy or not) and Mimosas - both of which you could taste the booze- NICE!
If you are a local football fan you will recognize the names of many of their dishes:
Todd Heap O'Pancakes, Kelly Greggnog French Toast, Suggs Slider Package [2 Fried Egg English Muffin Sammies each topped with Cheese & choice of Bacon or Turkey Sausage served with Home Fries, add a burger] etc... our group tried on a few staple dishes as well as daily specials.
Brunchos- or these days - Totos - Tater Tots topped with Scrambled Eggs, Black Beans, choice of Bacon or Chorizo, melted Cheese, Avocado & Pico de Gallo served with Sour Cream & fresh Salsa - Talk about a heart attack in a bowl - this was good enough to satisfy our 6ft+ dining companion w/o a problem.
House made Quiche of the day- Mushroom and Brie served with a side Caesar salad topped with fried tortellini.
Pancakes of the day were Blueberry - couldn't resist had to order a side order of 1 - yes, they not only allow it but encourage it. Served smothered in good BOURBON Syrup. It was like dessert with breakfast.
Special of the day - Breakfast Cheesesteak sub- with whiz! served with housecut fries.
This is only just the beginning. For the faint of heart of they always offered scrambled egg whites, salad, or soup of the day. Average menu prices are $8.
Trust me you won't go hungry or broke at this special corner bar. In case you were concerned - they DO have highchairs for the kiddies. So, do not hesitate - make Captain Larry's your next Sunday hot spot.

Black OliveAgora (Market) Finally Opens
In its third week now Black Olive Agora is open. Located in the front of the Black Olive Inn at 803 South Caroline Street. There is garage and street parking available. Whether you are in the mood for a glass of organic wine $4.50/glass and a snack, coffee and breakfast or some fresh prepared items to go with whole fish for dinner, Agora can satisfy.
Some prepared items you might find, Hummus $8/lb (green b/c of the fresh parsley), Melitzanosalata $9/lb (Baba Ghanoush), Taramasalata $8/lb, Tzatziki 9/lb, Greek Vegetable Pie 10/slice, Cous Cous salad 10/lb,Orzo salad $10/lb, House marinaded olives et...
Great selection of Greek cheeses from feta to grilled haloumi.
Fresh whole fish selection is perfect. Not too many species, types are not consistent but fresh. You can find St. Peter/John Dory, Branzino/Branzini, whole sardines, scallops, shrimp, lobster, whole octopus (sells by the lb so yes, you can buy just an arm), seafood kebabs, Dorade etc...the team will clean and prepare the fish for you any way you like including sending you home with instructions "just like we do in the restaurant" they will say.
If you have a chance to purchase the breads baked fresh on premise, go for the flat bread with za'atar or baguette - the small olive boules are a bit too dense and tough in our opinion.
Weekends you can enjoy breakfast on the roof. It is enclosed with an open kitchen, full bar and amazing harbor view. Can be rented for private parties.
The best experience in our opinion was speaking with the owner. He shared with us that for intimidating cuts of fish like octopus - he will refund your money if you take it home with his instructions on how to prepare it and it does not turn out. He wants the locals in the area to feel comfortable and make great Black Olive meals in their homes. Remove your fears and go for it with no risk. He says if you are looking to make stuffed squid, call ahead because some types of fish he does not want to sit in a cold case but rather know it will be prepared and eaten straight away. That is true customer service!
Give him a call. 443-681-6319!
Here is to a fabulous Greek meal - dining out or in!

PA Craft Beer Spring House Brewing Company
Next time you are in the PA area (especially Philly because you can find this on tap!) look for
any creation by Spring House Brewing Company.
In Philly over the weekend and found the award winning (prior to launch of the company) Smoked Porter, 9%.
From their website, they describe this masterful creation as follows:
"Prior to brewing our Smoked Porter, Matt selects specialty malts to be smoked over an open flame, imparting a unique flavor profile in the porter. The malts are smoked using apple and hickory wood for a full 72 hours. Spring House Brewing Co. chose to smoke the grain in a local smoke house that dates back to the late 19th century. This one-of-a-kind smoke house imparts layers of smokey depth to the beer that cannot be replicated."
I will agree! It is a one of a kind and a must drink with food because frankly it is a wasted moment if you don't pair this beer up. Try it with BBQ, Pork especially or fatty duck! I once had an early version at the brew master's pig roast- paired it with a savory Blue Cheese, Fig & Herb Cheesecake - ah those happy moments in life you will never forget.
WHY MARYLAND? WHY? Please allow this beer to be distributed to us!
Otherwise - travel north bound and hit up the Tap Room which just opened in Feb of this year!
Check it out! Located in a barn in Conestoga, PA.
The Taproom, is a sister company that sells beer made at the Conestoga location in pints, growler fills, 22oz bottles, and six packs.
Tuesday - 11am to 10pm
Wednesday - 4pm to 10pm
Thursday - 4pm to 10pm
Friday - 11am to 12am
Saturday - 11am to 12am
Sunday - Closed
