Good job blaming the victim, a-hole. How about a little empathy?

Honestly it was ok. We haven't found a cannoli in the Baltimore area that made us think of home or Italy

Bc of poverty and structural racism that causes the concentration of poverty that leads to crime being a way to make a living when jobs aren’t paying enough, your community is completely disinvested, and education is failing...you can thank White flight in the 1950s for the utter lack of investment in Baltimore. The white parts get invested while majority black areas...you know...and the city happens to be majority black so...anyone with critical thinking skills knows there’s a link between poverty and crime lmao

That’s such cop out bullshit that it’s making you racist lmao but if poc verbalize valid issues with white people they are collectively gaslit but people are gonna defend this asshole jus for being assaulted and I think that’s utter bullshit

……”a little racism” bro go to therapy

Yikes. Why so triggered?

Di Pasquale’s is the only local one I like. We go to Juliet’s Italian market when it’s a real occasion.

>sfogliatelle

Bottega was the spot where "le comptoir du vin" is at. They used to make everything from scratch and had the best pasta , gnocchi etc ...

i'm still on the hunt! generally i don't get homesick for much food-wise since baltimore's got some pretty great food, so i wasn't going in trying to be a hater, but their cannoli were so sweet they made my teeth hurt and i was so disappointed

I was mugged in Hampden a bit more than a week before your incident. Two guys with guns tried to rob my wife and me a half block from our house. I wound up getting shot in the leg before they took off in a waiting car. Thankfully my wife was unhurt and they didn't get any of our things.

It's rough out there, I'm sorry you had this happen.

I know a few white neighborhoods you can run around just to even things out and get some world experience if you’d like

I am so sorry you're limited to just a few options! Mount Vernon has some great food, but most of the nicer places are not "American-style" cuisine tbh.

The Mount Vernon Marketplace would be a safe bet since it's a large, food-court style place.

Marie Louise Bistro if you're willing to spend some coin? The menu leans French/Mediterranean, but they still have mac & cheese, hanger steak sandwich, croque madame as just a fancy ham and cheese sandwich?

I've heard positive things about Poet's Modern Cocktails and Eats, too! Not too far of a walk from the Museum. Warning that according to reviews, the in-person menu may be different from their online menu (the parent company of the hotel has yet to change it??)

Personally, I need to go check out The Royal Blue-- a newer bar/restaurant but the menu looks great!

Kudos to you for writing about your experience, that’s a tough step. I’m sorry this happened to you, I wish you a speedy recovery. Please consider counseling with a provider familiar with post assault traumatic stress and paranoia. Many people have feelings of fear or concern after assault, especially when interacting with someone who reminds them of the assailant. Smells, sounds, sights can all trigger feelings of uneasiness. This is normal after an assault, a trained counselor can help you heal from this. I wish you the best in your recovery.

If you wouldn’t be more afraid of white people after they robbed you then yeah it’s racist. You also called it racist in your own post.

You were probably already racist if this is the straw that broke your back. Sorry this happened to you and everything. I’ve been drugged and robbed in Miami myself, yet I’m not prejudice against Cubans

Ended up just getting some from fresh market and they were slammin lol
