Food Friday: Grano Pasta Bar
Friday, November 20th, 2015 by WLOY Staff
What: Grano Pasta Bar
Where: 1031 W 36th St., Baltimore
When: Monday-Saturday 11:30am – 10pm, Sundays 12pm – 9pm
I am no stranger to Grano Pasta Bar, in fact, I love the pasta bar. Its intimate setting is a great place for you to get your favorite pasta with your best friends. At Grano, you pick your favorite pasta and favorite sauce and whatever else suits your fancy. I am personally the biggest fan of Gnocchi with Vodka Sauce, simple I know, but absolutely delicious! Their vodka sauce is to die for! They have plenty of options from farfalle to penne and all the sauces your heart desires. Along with bread and many other options, maybe a cannoli or three after dinner? Then you are set for a great evening with great food! Don’t have time to sit down? That’s cool just do take-out, I promise it is just as good!

After stuffing your face with Dooby’s delicious entrees, dive into their Damn Good Pie, consisting of Brûléed buttermilk tart with a chocolate cookie crumble crust! Two please!

I sat down at a rustic table while the waiter brought me a carafe of water and placed down my lemon-green tea infuser with a cute blue tea cup and plate. I then scarfed down a breakfast sandwich, amazing, it was crunchy yet soft yet cheesy, ugh, everything you want in a sausage breakfast sandwich.

What: Golden West Cafe Take-Out Window
Where: W 36th Street, Hampden
When: Sun-Thurs. 7am-12am, Friday-Sat. 7am-2am
I have always been a faithful to Golden West Cafe and their Sunday morning brunch. This past weekend at HampdenFest, I finally got the chance to experience the new take-out window. And, in the spirit of a true toddler I had waffles with a big fluffy dollop of whip cream and a big glass of chocolate milk (admittedly an odd choice for a hot saturday morning). It. Was. Awesome. Delicious and hardly nutritious–the perfect breakfast. The Take-Out window’s hours are amazing, 7am-2am on Fridays and Saturdays, perfect those late nights of too much…studying and work…and you really just want a huge platter of nachos. (more…)

What: One World Café
Where: 100 W University Pkwy, Baltimore

Need a break from Starbucks? Same. That is why I went to One world Cafe! They have absolutely delicious baked good and their drinks are refreshing. I got a classic double chocolate chip muffin…amazing. They do not stop at baked goods though, sit down and enjoy a meal! One World makes its a very important part of their business to insure vegan and vegetarian oriented foods. They make this their mission to focus on this as a major part of their cafe. Stop by, get a coffee or ice tea with a, highly recommended, double chocolate chip muffin. You can sit inside in the cozy atmosphere and enjoy the a nice coffee house ambiance or sit onside while we still enjoy this beautiful weather! And for those night owls, One World Café is open until 2am! One World Café
