Best of Baltimore 2012

How much do we love Baltimore? Let us count the ways . . .

It’s fitting that this was the year the word “hon” officially was given back to Baltimore. (See “Best PR Move” in News) The hon represents so much about this town — its inherently friendly nature, its fierce pride in its working-class roots, its willingness to poke fun at itself and embrace all outsiders. It’s in this spirt that Baltimore has continued its awe-inspiring renaissance, one that is quirky, unique, and has spawned art, food, media, retail, and business that follows no one else’s cookie-cutter model.

It seems silly, but there are certain markers in life—birthdays, anniversaries, special holidays. For us, the Best of Baltimore issue has always been one of those markers. It's our way of reflecting back on another great year and seeing just how far we've come. We get to celebrate old friends, anoint new favorites, and basically bask in the greatness that is our city. Of course, we always have to change things up a little, just for fun. So this year: Top-10 and Top-five lists! Yup, as an example, we don't just tell you Baltimore's best cupcake, but Baltimore's 10 best cupcakes.

Sing it with us..."It’s the most wonderful time of the year!" Okay, at least that’s how we feel about the Best of Baltimore issue. It’s our opportunity to shout from the rooftops about the people, businesses, and happenings that make Baltimore such a great place to live. Indeed, we like assembling our Best of Baltimore issue so much, we’ve done it 35 times. This year, a fun new wrinkle: Throwdowns! We were inspired by Bobby Flay’s recent trip to Baltimore, where the Food Network star took on pie guy Rodney Henry in a quiche-off. Sadly, Rodney lost . . .
