Mix an air-conditioned restaurant, a hot day in mid-summer, attentive service, a cool, rustic atmosphere, and satisfying food together and what do you get? The glory of Rams Head Tavern in all its historic yet modern and important yet laid-back splendor. Here, we take some time to explore the dining options, observe the oh-so-cool interior, [...]
As we continue our discussion of art, we seem to be getting closer and closer to what local art truly is comprised of. We learned from The Circle Gallery that young Annapolitan artists have magnificent, innovative visions as their work was interesting enough to win a contest and be on display at the gallery.
