I recently spent some time in Copenhagen. The restaurant scene there is quite dynamic and diverse. Incredibly, the city has 28 Michelin starred restaurants. Even without going to any of those, there are plenty of other places to dine and have both Danish food and some of the finest international cuisine.
My last article on Philly Cheesesteaks was rightly criticized for mostly covering "tourist" cheesesteak restaurants. However, I received several recommendations in the comments. I went to each one.
Some friends were in from out of town and we were looking for a place to dine at. We decided on a place in the neighborhood of Fells Point, right at the edge of the Baltimore harbor. There, we had a great meal at the nautically themed restaurant Ampersea.
A couple of years back, a friend from Annapolis recommended a gastro pub there. When I was looking for a place to eat for an out of town guest, The Fox's Den came to mind. It now tops my list of places to dine in Annapolis!
Recently, a new chicken chain opened in Buffalo. I went there the day after it opened. If you like hot, spicty chicken, HCK Hot Chicken is the place for you.
Lake Effect Ice Cream, a small artisanal ice cream maker in Western New York, has become one of my go to spots for ice cream.
I was recently in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There was was a public market a short walk from my hotel. I have been to public markets before, but nothing like this. Huge, historic, and filled with a plethora of grocers and eateries, Reading Terminal Market is the place to shop and dine in Philadelphia.
Buffalo is home to several gourmet hot dog restaurants. But there is one that stands out above the rest. After hearing about it for years, I have finally treated myself to Frank Gourmet Hot Dogs.
Before a trip through Pennsylvania, a friend asked me to stop in Williamsport to pick up some subs. Not one or two subs, mind you, but over a half dozen. He wanted to share them with friends. I honored his request and soon learned that Newberry Sub Shop has earned such devotion.
I was looking way a place to celebrate National Ice Cream Day, when I came across a list of the best ice cream places in Montgomery County, Maryland. The Baked Bear was the place that interested me the most. I soon found out, they have the best ice cream sandwiches in the world.
