Profiles PR invited us to a launch cocktail for Milan, a new and quite posh lounge in Harbor East Beautifully decorated in a modern, European aesthetic and balanced with cozy furniture, it can offer different settings for different occasions: Lounge seats, a semi-private VIP area, two bars, a dining area near a sushi bar, and outdoor patio that’s kept well heated and covered in the winter. Today, it was graced with the honor of sending off Former Mayor Sheila Dixon.

Here are photos I took during the cocktail:

MmmmMMmm- MEAT Week! The leaders and followers of Baltimore Meat Week are gathering every night at a set location to dine together with “Meat” in mind. The goal is to simply enjoy the indulgence of meat, with fellow carnivore lovers. No set menus, no set prices, just “meat” at a certain place at a certain time and gorge together. (That pun was impossible to deny!)

For the rest of the week here is where you can find other meat lovers.

Tuesday – Andy Nelson’s 7pm
Wednesday – Chap’s 7pm
Thursday – Harbor Que 7pm
Friday – RUB 8pm
Saturday – Mr. Chelsea’s 1pm
Sunday – Fleet Member’s Home – 3pm

If you would like to get in contact with the organizer you may email Brad Cartwright at bradcartwrigt@gmail.com. If you think you are going attend any of these days, it would most likely be best to email him.
