Editor’s itinErary JEAN LAWLOR COHEN
The Ladies BaltimoreThe 8-foot-tall marble statue Lady Baltimore, from 1822 until recent days, stood atop a monument to a War of 1812 battle here. But flesh-and-blood women have had an impact too. Elizabeth Seton (1774-1821) founded the Sisters of Charity and became the first U.S. Roman Catholic saint. Pilgrims find her house at St. Mary’s Spiritual Center. And native daughter Wallis Warfield Simpson earned notoriety when Edward VIII abdicated to marry her. As the semi-exile Duchess of Wind-sor, she returned home twice in later years. Now Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, 44, presides at City Hall, only the second woman elected mayor.
T R I P P L A N N E R For my full Baltimore itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com.
>> MORNINGIn the Mount Vernon neighborhood, dine at George’s on Amaretto French toast and eggs Benedict with salmon or crab. Nearby the Mary-land Historical Society displays the restored Lady Baltimore statue and tells of Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte (above) whose quest for royal status failed.
>> AFTERNOONGrab a bite at the diner named Hollywood, 400 E. Saratoga Ave., key set for the movie Diner, or at Tio Pepe, a haunt of the House of Cards crew. Other major film and TV productions shoot here, like HBO with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, above. So check her tweets #veep, and scout the streets for show-biz photo ops.
>> EVENINGMarin Alsop once made news as the first female conductor of a major U.S. orchestra. At Meyer-hoff Hall, she leads the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in Rachmani-noff, Shostakovich, Bern-stein and Beethoven. Also this fall: Beatles music, a capella, Kenny Loggins and a talk by filmmaker Ken Burns.

Fiery Fieri“The Mayor of Flavortown” returns to Baltimore, a favorite site of
his Food Network episodes, with the new Maryland-inspired Guy
Fieri’s Baltimore Kitchen and Bar (page 28). The restaurant nods to
the city’s “diners, drive-ins and dives” with a casual menu of Ameri-
can favorites, unique fl avors and quirky platings. Fieri celebrates a
love of the Chesapeake with dishes like the B-More fries (left) and
Old Bay wings. Tattoo-inspired decor complements a lively atmo-
sphere and a bar serving liquid nitrogen-chilled shots.—RC
Teaming UpJohnny Sánchez (page 29), a collaboration of former Iron Chef contestants John Besh and Aaron Sánchez, marries farm-fresh ingredients to authentic Mexican fare inspired by the street food of Guadalajara. The two describe their new venture as a “spirited taque-ria,” a social setting with live Latin music, views overlooking the city and dishes for shar-ing like the signature tostados (think blue crab and roast pumpkin). Sánchez, a Chopped (Food Network) judge, serves time-tested Mexican dishes like his grandmother’s Cabrito tacos (slow-roasted goat), while Beard-winner Besh adds New Orleans fl air and a love of local sourcing. A private tasting room pours mezcals and tequilas.—Rachel Chism

CHARMING CAKESDuff Goldman, Baltimore’s own “chef-lebrity,” typically serves delectable desserts as grand works of edible art made by Charm City Cakes, the bakery of Food Network fame. For the fi rst time, fans of Duff and his sweet treats buy cake by the slice at Horseshoe Casino’s Jack Binion’s Steak (page 28). With butter-fried bananas smothering yellow cake that’s stuff ed with chocolate buttercream fi ll-ing, the N’awlins Bananas Foster (right) is a must-try.—RC
A-List AggioNative son Bryan Voltaggio wears many toques—exec chef and co-owner of six restaurants, Beard award nominee and Top Chef � nalist, author (Volt.Ink with brother Mi-chael), father of three and advocate for ending child hunger. His new enterprise is upscale Italian Aggio(page 28), its kitchen overseen by Dan Izzo, wines by Keith Goldston. This second Aggio (D.C. has the � rst) o� ers rare options—ambience that allows for conversation and graceful service that delivers each elegant course to guests in unison. As Sinatra and pals softly croon, the glam evening gets underway with cocktails, some named in honor of that Mad Men-cool Rat Pack. Highlights of a recent meal (á la carte or as six-course tasting $95, wine pairing $65): beets with ton-nato sauce and pine nuts, cuttle� sh Bolognese with squid ink pasta, lamb ragu with pecorino, halibut with pickled caulifower, branzino with cashew purée, New York strip with bone marrow custard, dazzling desserts like a layer cake of olive oil, Sicilian pistachio cream, sorbet and meringues. Expect surprises: even the spaghetti and meatballs take on Voltaggio sophistication.—JLC

WHERE NOW Baltimore
SIP & BITEOn “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” Fieri has parked his red Camaro at a dozen Baltimore venues. At Canton’s Sip & Bite, where third-generation owners Tony and So� a Vasili-ades serve heaping portions of made-from-scratch dishes, Fieri praised the crab cakes with “big fat chunks of crab” and the cheesy spanakopita, from a family recipe. Other “Triple D” alums include Blue Moon Café, Broad-
way Diner, Chap’s Pit Beef and Joe Squared.
WOODBERRY KITCHENTwo-time Beard � nalist Spike Gjerde and wife Amy run this famed farm-to-table Hampden restaurant known for Chesapeake Bay oys-ters, seasonal � atbreads and a house-made “Snake Oil” hot sauce. But Goldman’s choice on a dessert-themed “The Best Thing I Ever Ate”? The seriously decadent CMP, short-hand for chocolate,
marshmallow and peanuts smooshed into a glass and topped with a hard sugar crust.
GOLDEN WEST CAFÉThe Southwestern fare at this o� -beat charmer, also in Hampden, mer-ited a stop on “Rachel Ray’s Tasty Travels.” And for a breakfast edition of “The Best Thing I Ever Ate,” Goldman touted the huevos montulenos—corn cakes with (ready?) eggs, beans, chili sauce, feta, salsa, a � our tortilla and fried banana.
As Seen On TVFor a small city, Baltimore’s played a surprisingly large role in Food Network’s popular shows. Credit the range of quality cuisine from diner style to white tablecloth, the passion for local products and a some-times quirky vibe that makes the dining scene all the more memorable. Spiky-haired Guy Fieri, “EVOO” queen Rachel Ray and, of course, Baltimore’s own Duff Goldman have all made rounds here, TV cameras in tow. For a full list of featured Charm City eateries, visit foodnetwork.com, and click on “Restaurants.”—BS

On the SquareOnce the plantation of ship captain John O’Donnell and later a blue-collar industrial zone, Canton now draws crowds to its shops, bars and restaurants, many clustered around the main square. Local favorites here include Mama’s on the Half Shell for Chesapeake Bay bounty, Looney’s and Claddagh for Irish-accented pub grub and Tavern on the Square for American fare with 80-plus craft brews. Vaccaro’s Italian Pastry Shop satisfies a sweet tooth with cannoli and tiramisu, while 2910 on the Square offers souvenirs like bricks and wood panels hand-painted with iconic city scenes.—Brooke Sabin

Morning Coffee Time
I love to start my day with breakfast at Milk and Honey, a deli/market/cafe. If my daughter can go with me, we split a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich.
The lattes are also delicious! 816 Cathedral Ave.
MiddayMount Vernon
I always spend my work days in and around Mount Vernon. I like to go to
Sasha’s for a chopped salad and a cup of Zeke’s coffee.
AfternoonGallery Going
If I am lucky, I have a meeting at the Baltimore Museum of Art so I can sneak a peek at one of my all-time favorite paintings, Sir Anthony Van Dyck’s Rinaldo and Armida, by far the most important work by this
artist in the country. 10 Art Museum Dr.
Dinnertime Cool Down
With a colleague I sometimes head for drinks at Spirits to end the work day.
It has a great selection of wines and a relaxing atmosphere. 900 N. Charles St.
Nighttime Family Fun
A perfect evening is a game at Cam-den Yards with my family. We’re partial to the Old Bay crab waffle fries. Go O’s!

Where do you take visitors? I try to blend urban, rural and quirky experiences. We go to the Inner Harbor to visit the Reginald F Lewis Museum, Hampden for ice cream at the Charmery and on the Loch Raven trail for a hike. Favorite art destination? Paris. I lived there when I studied and worked. I had a desk that looked over Versailles. I love Paris, where you get a sense of a vibrant city, a city that lives with its art. That’s actually what Baltimore does. The art here is not only in the museums.
What brought you to Baltimore?I came as a result of a recruitment search by the Walters. When one of the great American art museums calls and asks you to come, you say “Yes, please!” I wanted to be a part of this city and the scene here, because both are quite remarkable.
First impressions of the Walters? Awe and inspiration. There is so much to discover. I could be here for years and feel as if I still haven’t scratched the surface of this collec-tion.
What about Baltimore art? It’s deep and diverse. You have objects of tradition and quirky rebellion, and they are excellent at all levels. I know a lot of artists who

She traveled cross-country last year, with husband and 10-year-olds in tow, and assumed the role of executive director at the Walters Art Museum, the �rst woman to hold this post since the museum’s founding in 1934.—RC
