“This year’s journey began right near the county line at the Glass Grill (6804 Eastern Ave., 410-633-2921, theglassgrill.com). Inside, the Glass Grill is decorated with intricate blown glass sculptures made by the neighboring McFadden Art Glass. Two of the hanging sculptures look like psychedelic sea anemones, and funky glass sculptures brighten up the bar back.

A two-man cover band was jamming on a small stage across the room from the long bar, but most of the customers were chilling on the outdoor patio. Bottles of Bud Light cost $2.25 each, which set the bar for cheap suds. Later in the evening, that bar would be lowered considerably. Outside, the Glass Grill’s handful of tables and chairs were all occupied, with a couple folks playing corn hole nearby. It was a nice little nook where you could spend an evening, enjoying the warm weather.”

“Glass Grill is a fine place to go for lunch, but we get the feeling that it’s an absolutely great place to go for happy hour, a place to sidle up to the bar with a few friends and order bar snacks, sandwiches and cold beers.

The Glass Grill is on Eastern Avenue just east of I-95. It is next door to McFadden Art Glass studios, and the two establishments have a symbiotic relationship. Glass Grill patrons can watch glassblowing demonstrations, and on Date Nights can even make a little keepsake of their own.

Diners can see the hand-blown art glass produced at the studio every day. Vases and goblets and figurines—we liked the one-armed snowman, who seems to be the victim of too-vigorous dusting—are lined up above the bar, and the chandeliers are colorful fantasias of blown glass. It is a treat for the eye.

The restaurant offers a full menu of casual fare—bar snacks, salads, sandwiches and wraps. There are also several entrees, again aimed toward a bar crowd. There’s bourbon glazed salmon, a New York Strip steak, grilled chicken grilled shrimp and barbecued ribs.

Prices are moderate, from $14 (chicken) to $19 (steak). The menu also features a market-price crabcake, meatloaf and fish and chips.

Whatever you end up ordering, do not miss the crab dip ($9.99). It is a gooey, cheesy, warm cupful of crabby delight nestled in a bread bowl and surrounded by chips and more bread for dipping. Go directly for the homemade potato chips smothered in Old Bay and dip away. There are tricolor tortilla chips, but you’ve had those before; and the French bread is nicely toasted—but for the best experience, elbow your friends aside and hog all those potato chips.”

“I love stumbling upon “cool finds!” This one definetely ranks up there on my list of favs…
I was back east for two weeks soaking up all the spring blooms and color green that I could while visiting my parents before heading to a friend’s wedding in Maryland. The initial plan was to go see the Cherry Blossoms in D.C. before heading to Havre de Grace to link up with my hubby… but we got a little side tracked and wound up in the Baltimore area,where we stumbled upon an artist’s gallery and studio. Perfect timing for us…he was just starting to work on a piece, and his studio is open for people to come watch! The quick “let’s stop in and take a peek” turned into a few hour visit, as we just couldn’t leave until we saw the final work of art…watching the whole process was mesmerizing and beautiful – he made it look so easy! {I majored in ceramics in college, so while not the same there were a lot of similarities…and I’m sure it wasn’t nearly as easy as he made it look} Thankfully I had my camera in the car, so I was able to capture some cool shots of the artist and his assistants at work…”

“We did a neat family thing recently – we want to McFadden Art Glass and each made a piece of glasswork (“Make-Your-Own”, 3 vases & 1 flower, with an instructor). Very cool time & a great teacher. Kevin had gone here on before a field trip from school and had asked to go back. We definitely recommend this to anyone.”
