This field is almost exactly on the site of the molasses tank that exploded in 1919, killing a few people and injuring many more. Read the book Dark Tide by Stephen Puleo for details.
Old school, simple and traditional Italian food done very well. One of the better spots in Federal Hill, and it’s very reasonably priced too, especially the lunch specials. Chicken Parmesan is solid.
This place is all about the mala chili oil; get something with mala. Schezuan cold noodles are a great place to start. Hot and sour shredded potatoes are a unique and tasty vegetable dish.
Excellent bagels, definitely along the best in NY. The breakfast sandwiches are massive carbocaloriebombs. Tho location is quieter than the other one too.
Some of if not the best pizza I’ve had in New York. They offer different types (thin crust, Sicilian, upside down) so you can get a few different slices and try them all. I really like the white pie.
