I don’t know about you, but I thoroughly enjoy al fresco dining. Feeling the fresh air on our faces whilst we enjoy food or a cocktail is, as one friend used to say, “simply the best.” It’s cold here in Baltimore, and the holidays are over. I’m no longer dreaming of a White Christmas, but rather of a night out sipping cocktails and enjoying a splendid view in warmer weather. In fact, after reading an article in The Baltimore Sun about a man who wanted to celebrate a milestone birthday by having an intimate, catered al fresco party, I’ve decided that’s what I want when the next big one comes along.
What follows are my favorite picks for outdoor dining and drinks al fresco style.
