When Can We Go Out to Play?

Come April 20, the outdoor calendar starts filling up

Kathy Knotts

Spring is on the calendar. We had another lovely taste of warm weather last week. Yet the forecasters say not to pack away the winter gear as the thermometer struggles to reconcile with our expectations of spring. Prepare your sacrifices to the weather gods, for as April moves forward, more and more outdoor events call us out of hibernation. Here’s a look at some of the reasons to pray for warm weather.

A New Addition to the Family

Mamma Lucia’s opens its third restaurant in Chesapeake Beach

Tracy Contrino and Susan Nolan

Call it a labor of love three years in the making. Mamma Lucia by the Bay opened on Monday, August 21 to the excitement of restaurant-goers in Calvert County and beyond. The Tuscan-orange building has the distinction of being Chesapeake Beach’s only two-story restaurant with a rooftop deck. Outdoor dining is available on both the deck and a patio.

Seasonal Flavors at Brio

The popular chain helps anchor Annapolis Towne Centre

Lisa Edler Knoll

Hard to believe it’s been eight years since the Annapolis Towne Centre (ironically in Parole) opened its many tenant doors, expanding the retail topography of the greater Annapolis landscape. Here, as in Waugh Chapel, developers Greenberg Gibbons have made a success embracing the build-it-and-they-will-come methodology. There has been a fair amount of evolutionary turnover, but the big boys — anchors Whole Foods, Target, P.F. Chang’s and Brio Tuscan Grill — have remained.

Can You Eat Out and Eat Local?

Many local chefs and restaurants are on the bandwagon

Madeline Hughes

Farm-fresh fruit and vegetables plus fin and shellfish straight from the Bay abound in midsummer Maryland. Farmers markets, roadside stands and grocery stores all sell local produce. But will you fare so well when you go out to eat? Yes — if you know where to look.

My Best Breakfast on the Bay

Down-home cooking the way Mom used to make it

Bob Melamud

With your guidance, I’ve continued my search for the Best Breakfast on the Bay. Limited in time, money and calories, I tried the top three vote-getters. My winner: The Pennsylvania Dutch Market of Annapolis, also known as the Amish Market. Served here is breakfast like my mother used to make us. If you’re craving eggs benedict with smoked salmon and capers, this is not the place. But if you want down-home cooking at a good price, try it.

Best Breakfast on the Bay?

I demand a recount!

Bob Melamud

If my wife had been watching me read the paper that day in late December, she might have been puzzled by the rapidly changing emotions on my face, changing in an instant from a smile to confusion to displeasure. I was reading Bay Weekly’s Best of the Bay edition, hoping to find some local treasure that somehow had missed my radar. As I reviewed the categories, I found some I very much agreed with (Best Concert Venue: Rams Head) and many that I didn’t know much about (Acupuncture). Some went on my list to try (Best Sushi: Umai), and some I disagreed with.

The Promising New Year Partnership of Parks and Wilder

Wild Orchid chef takes over Sam’s kitchen

Lisa Knoll

It’s a new year. With the flip of a calendar comes a chance to renew, refresh and remodel. In Annapolis, the new year offers opportunity for two local restaurateurs to help each other. Andrew Parks, owner of Sam’s on the Waterfront, has announced his new executive chef, Jim Wilder. Chef Wilder recently closed his Westgate Circle restaurant Wild Orchid after a difficult three-year tenure.

Heroes Pub

On Veterans Day — or any other — first-line heroes are welcome here

Bob Melamud

Montgomery County firefighter and paramedic Mike O’Neil sips a beer as he sits beneath the 9/11 wall at Heroes Pub. O’Neil was at the Pentagon doing search and rescue in the aftermath of that day. He’s a typical Heroes regular: a first responder and a local from Arnold who comes in several times a week. He seems to know everyone in the place, and everyone knows him. “Great bar food, great people, and they support the community. This is Cheers,” says O’Neil, referring to the fictional tavern on TV. “We feel comfortable here.”
