Complete with four duckpin lanes and eight ten-pin alleys, Mustang Alley’s Bar Bowling and Bistro is keeping retro chic alive and well in Baltimore’s Little Italy neighborhood. We hear the restaurant’s policy is, “No bowling shirt. No bowling shoes. No service.” Just kidding. The Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts with luxury residences is also coming to the Harbor East area along with the following hot new restaurants: Cinghiale, Lemongrass and Tsunami.

With all of the recent hotel renovations and new construction, Baltimore is the stuff dreams are made of. Renovated rooms are ready at the Marriott Waterfront, Hyatt Regency, Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace and the Marriott Inner Harbor at Camden Yards. Plus, the Hilton Baltimore opens in fall 2008 with 757 guest rooms and 60,000 square feet of flexible function space that is connected by covered walkways to Baltimore’s Convention Center.

The best in television today takes its gripping storylines right from the streets of Baltimore. HBO’s longest dramatic running series, The Wire, is set in Baltimore and was originally based on a book by a Baltimore Sun journalist. Keep an eye out for Baltimore landmarks and native Baltimorean, Lance Reddick who plays Colonel Cedric Daniels in the award-winning drama series.

Old Bay Seasoning was invented in Baltimore! Back in 1939, Gustav Brunn developed the famous seasoning mix with just a spice grinder and a dream. As Paris Hilton would say, “That’s hot.” Submit your favorite or wildest recipe including Old Bay seasoning to info@gepbaltimore.com. The top recipes will be posted at www.gepbaltimore.com.
