Reply to How expensive is Fogo De Chau? by MorbiusMovieTime
Prices are online. I go there a couple times a year. They offer special discounts for Veteran's Day and Birthdays/Anniversaries IIRC so that is when we go. As a parent of young kids, it is one of the few places I feel comfortable taking my kids that is a step above the usual chains that is kid friendly. My kids enjoy dressing up a bit and dining out. It's a special treat for them. Oh and also, kids eat free.
Dinner is pricier than lunch as you might expect. Look at pictures of the kind of food setup they have (Trip Advisor type sites and social media) because if you haven't been before I feel like it can be confusing. There's a buffet style area with lots of salads, soups, veggies, charcuterie, and sides. You can actually do just a lunch on that buffet (without the endless streaming meats) for a very reasonable price.

Cool nest at the intersecting beams at the top. Curious about the human skull to the left of it, though…..
Go back and zoom in, OP.

Have you always lived in Baltimore? It literally doesn't happen everywhere. There's a big world outside of the east coast people lmao.

I just saw the most recent numbers. Baltimore is worse, but (surprisingly to me) not by much. Baltimore’s violence gets over sensationalized in this sense and DC’s gets swept under the rug.

If you’re living around Penn station in Mt. Vernon or Barclay, violent crime won’t be much of an issue. Not anymore than many parts of dc. Violent crime is largely localized to areas that would not be convenient for y’all to live in Baltimore anyway. Penn Station gives y’all access to MARC, Amtrak and Acela trains, there are multiple bike lanes and bus routes in the area, great restaurants, shops, bars and just a few blocks to the west is the light rail which will get you north and south from BWI airport at the southernmost stop and Hunt Valley (a northern suburb 8-10 miles outside of the city) to the north. The light rail will also get you to the inner harbor and at the stadiums’ front doors (they both have separate stops.)You can get pretty easily from the light rail to the subway downtown. Also, art scape (one of the city’s biggest annual events) happens in the summer right outside Penn Station’s doors. I don’t live in the Mount Vernon/Bolton Hill area, but I definitely get the appeal, especially if one is trying to live car free and affordably in the dc/Baltimore area. It’s the confluence of a lot of great things including 4 types of public transit (which probably no other area of Baltimore has.) Definitely price compare an area of DC that y’all are considering living to Mount Vernon or Bolton Hill or Barclay in Baltimore.

It does have a chain restaurant vibe
I’ve heard they send out the cheaper cuts early and often to fill you up, gotta be disciplined to get the better cuts

Little pawtuxent parkway, broken land parkway, governor warfield parkway, Snowden river parkway… you can’t get from one development to another without crossing a winding stroad with no sidewalks. It’s not a walkable town. It wasn’t designed to be one. It was built when car centric design was king. Sure is has meandering walking paths, but they don’t get you from point a to point b without winding around a neighborhood and tripling the distance a pedestrian would have to walk.

- There are city garages in Fells for people who don’t live in the neighborhood and drive everywhere
- The metered parking on the south end of Broadway that is currently being used as parklets is extremely below market rate. Probably 1/50th market rate. The proposed price per square foot for the parklets of $10/sqft is still below market rate, but it will still bring in more money than a $2/hr parking spot.
- It’s a walkable area that should have very few cars. I’d argue Thames st should be completely closed to auto traffic. Human scale the area.

Honestly, Barclay, the neighborhood right by Guilford Brewery has improved so much in the last 5 years and it’s going to explode once the improvements to Penn Station happen. It really is a good area to invest in/buy a house right now.

Honestly, I find it kind of offensive that you assume I was weighing whether I would drink and drive with the price of an Uber. I was just trying to figure out kind of prices to expect because I haven't gone out on New Year's in years and I have to budget. This is an incredibly condescending response.

> The department says that if you or someone you know is faced with a mental health issue contact suicide-prevention and crisis counselor by dialing 988.
Don't call cops in a metal health crisis event, that's how people get shot. Glad Baltimore County PD have come to the same realization the rest of us had a long time ago.

I don't know about their dim sum, but we've ordered from them a lot since 2021 when we moved here. We did that tonight to pair with the requisite movie (Glass Onion, y'all. WATCH IT). I haven't had dim sum in forever; I used to LOVE it.

This thread contains a link to an article from FOX 45 Baltimore (WBFF), a station owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group.
At times, that which has been produced and broadcast by FOX Baltimore has ranged from misleading at best to disinformation at worst - including it (and all other Sinclair-owned stations) being required to run scripted packages by their owners while masquerading said packages as journalism or as station PSAs.
Posters and readers are encouraged to utilize alternative sources from reputable media outlets, or to be cautious when reading or viewing that which has been published from FOX Baltimore and other Sinclair-owned outlets.

We are giving the cops credit for this now?! Please. Pigs trying to act like they are involved in something set up by National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. They have nothing to do with that number or anyone who will help you with a mental health crisis. They are essentially tacitly admitting they will shoot you if you are having a mental health crisis. You can be glad this resource exists, but please do not equate this with something the cops have done to help you. The police are here to protect the status quo for the oligarchs and corporate elite. They do not care about your safety. They do not care about your rights. They do not care about your mental health. They are the henchmen of the ruling class and they will shoot you and your dog if you look at them the wrong way. ACAB.
