Pro tip: they do have the menu of any other faux Italian place, but some of their pasta dishes are better than anything you’ll find in Little Italy. The Mediterrano (pink sauce, crab meat, shrimp, scallops) and Reffugio (pink sauce, chicken, mushrooms) are both absolutely to die for. And, as others have mentioned, an incredible staff. My family has been going for decades and the quality has never dropped

The stretch between Fayette and Orleans was much less of a highway when Sojourner Douglas College's main campus was active (the college shut down 10 years ago, and then burned multiple times, but that's another issue.) Getting that building redeveloped is the real key to slowing traffic down - the block would be a destination, not a thruway.

I agree. But I hope they do some sort of traffic calming at Central and Fayatte and Central and Orleans because that is very stroady, and all I ever see is people booking it towards Hopkins/the Calvert Street overpass on Orleans or to President/to Hopkins on Fayette.

Savers in Parkville and the Goodwill at 1763 E Joppa usually have pretty well-stocked mensware sections. Definitely also consider checking out Uptown Cheapskate up York Rd. Plato’s Closet is also is on the way up to Uptown Cheapskate - their menswear section is relatively small and leans casual but I do find some gems in there every once in a while.

Congratulations on the new job, my friend! What a way to start the new year!
