City Cafe

It's a cafe/restauant, it's ample, there's always a place to sit, never have to wait. They have outside seating which is nice in the summer. Very good for hamburgers and they have my favorite crab cakes in Mt. Vernon.

Near the Hippo and Central Station, enjoy an eclectic menu and window shop along Eager and Cathedral Streets. Informal cafe and restaurant with the best in lite snacks, sandwiches, and salads. They make great drinks too.

Most impressive are the drinks - large and very well made! The food is quite good and portions are large. Many of the items are home style - meatloaf, chicken, terrific steaks, salads and all at reasonable prices. While it is difficult to park in this area, it is an easy walk from the gay bars.

City Cafe is a great place for weekend brunch, dinner before a concert, or just reading and relaxing with coffee. Mixed cuisine ranges from sandwiches and burgers to gourmet entrees. There's a cafe section where you order at the counter, a full-service restaurant and a bar. Close to the Hippo and Grand Central bars; also close to the Baltimore Symphony and Opera.
