Mike Reid: For that mile high "piled high" authentic NYC corned-beef/pastrami sandwich. Long lines (out the door), so watch which day/time you go on.
Naptown 💪 Larry: The Baltimore "Coddie" is Jewish in origin, and called by some a poor man's crabcake. But if you want an "authentic" Balmore experience have a couple Coddies & wash em down with an Egg Cream soda.
Rachel L: An Authentic New York Deli Experience in Baltimore. Make sure to try the corned beef! Read more.

Leandro Lagera: Beautiful and authentic. Loved my drink and arepa. Awesome place to people watch
John Baker: The food is the most authentic Venezuelan we've had and my wife is from there. The cocktails are amazing as well! only thing to watch out for is that the kitchen seems stops an hour before closing.
Jonathan Knox: On Sundays they do a prix fixe menu only. The burrata, Latin gyoza, chicken and octopus are delicious. They make a fantastic margarita also.

Afghan Restaurant · Mount Vernon · 34 tips and reviews
Marta Lynne Schantz: This place is super authentic and absolutely delicious! Dessert wasn't very good though, not worth getting.
Deborah Tsuchida: Authentic hidden gem, owned by Karzai's bro Qayum. The blend of spices in every dish was uniquely delish, incl their special Afghan ice cream for dessert. Can't wait to try out their Boston location!
Cristina González Alcalá: What a nice find. Food was intriguing, with a nice balance of exotic spices hitting on multiple notes. Service was excellent! Yes to pumpkin app, veggie platter (get a good sampling) & ice cream.
