Sizka is my favorite sushi in the city, they do both lunch and dinner omakase. BYOB.

V-NO Wine Bar in Fells has wines by the glass or bottle, and small plates. They have tables outside that a nice to sit at. They also have tasting events that sometimes occur on a cruise around the harbor that might be worth checking out.

Four Seasons Spa

This'll go over well

So, you're not from around here?

Someone went to Chipotle today

I agree but what are you going to do?

You’re preaching to the wrong choir my friend

Rawlings Botanical Garden

Azumi has an Omakase. It’s $125 per person which isn’t crazy.

This is YIMBY,

People want the garden the waitlist for it is like 50+ households.

Hey don't listen to them, they are being mean!

How many tax dollars did this company get from the city?

Like 300 million? 600million?

Hage they kept their promises for those subsidies and breaks?

Oh God no the banner homes with the plastic siding look horrible. Massive building with eensy weeny windows

For spas check out the Ivy Hotel, Art of Balance, and the Four Seasons.

that's what the office's chief said. But what are the real facts? Could be city got involved by actually Paying what they owed, then the subs got paid. This is what happened.

It’s not really a boat tour, but if you’re here during the week, the Harbor Connector is a free commuter water taxi that goes across the harbor. The Fells Point to Tide Point/Locust Point route has great views of the harbor.

Lake Roland Park and Druid Hill Park are both nice and have parking. Former has quite a narrow driving route compared to the latter.

Correct. If you read the documents on the City’s BOE page, it says Metra has a total of $152m in contracts with the City over the past 6 to 8 years. I think the writer of this article made a mistake. The contract they were discussing at the meeting was only like $4m.

They should also have been required to carry a payment bond to ensure that subs get paid regardless of financial circumstances affecting the prime.

Damn, if only I knew about this when I was working for AACPS, I wouldve killed for that kinda money

Within the local underground utilities contractors, Metra is known for not paying anyone and screwing over the small subcontractors. They had this coming for years.

The $150M in the article is not accurate and is probably their "pre-qualification" amount with the City. They probably have closer to $50M in contracts spread across a number of jobs.

The biggest reason they've been disbarred is because they lied to the City repeatedly while the City was investing the MBE/WBE claims. The 7-day payment clause was just the most convenient way for the City to disbar them.

Sherwood Gardens might be a good option for an outdoor thing. The tulips probably won't be out quite yet, but there will be other things blooming.

If it's rainy, you could also visit Rawlings Conservatory in Druid Hill Park. It's a beautiful building, with a 19th century glass palm house. There is a suggested donation of $5/person. I like to go there when it's overcast to get a little sunlight without getting dripped on.

Idk if the spa at the Four Seasons downtown is in scope, but there are great water views there and it comes highly recommended
