Remember color by number as a kid? Just as we colored in shapes to enliven an image in our youth, we can explore Annapolis restaurants to bring the culture and taste of a particular neighborhood to life.

Annapolis is beloved thanks to West Annapolis (amongst many other wonderful aspects and businesses of the city), but now, there’s another reason to love Annapolis that contains “west.” The Loews Hotel’s kitchen and tavern entitled WEST proves that boring, bland hotel food is no more and that the service, mixed drinks, and ambiance should be [...]
