[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baltimore is nice but the food scene is definitely sleepier than DC. (DC is way more expensive too, of course, real estate and restaurant-wise.) [/quote]

I’d say the food scene overall is more approachable in Baltimore, even if there are less options than DC. The cafe scene is better in Baltimore however. [/quote]

I don’t know what “approachable” means but there are far fewer great or even good options in Baltimore and far less variety of food. DC has built a solid food scene in the last 20 years; the restaurant scene used to be so dire here. No knock on Baltimore but there isn’t really a comparison at all. [/quote]

You don’t know what you’re talking about. DC’s edge is that it has a better food scene in its suburbs, where it has more Vietnamese, Afghan, and other ethnic foods than Baltimore. If you compare each city to each other Baltimore definitely holds its weight and not PP but “approachable” to mean means that you can go to a really nice restaurant in Baltimore and not pay $200 for two meals and drinks. DC is more expensive and its restaurants have a more unearned pretentious vibe. Baltimore has more laid back but still sophisticated restaurants. It has a lot in common with Philly’s or Brooklyn’s food scene in that regard.

If we’re talking about places with $200 prix fix menus then DC has an advantage, but your average person isn’t going to restaurants like those that often if they even want to go at all. [/quote]
