Flying Scotsman 0 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 The Afghan Kabob, northeast corner Charles and Lombard, is now history--the building is reportedly slated for demolition. Signs indicate that the cooks have relocated to a pan-European eatery in Little Italy. Damn, damn, damn. Link to post Share on other sites
Aresef 113 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Ah damn. That really sucks. But at this point, CalTort is serving most of my Otakon needs anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

motoki-O 23 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Well, if Otakon already has a cafe, perhaps it might not be such a stretch to have a maid cafe somewhere inside the convention center! ...though now that I think about it, trying to get Aramark to run a maid cafe would likely cause irreparable harm to everyone involved. ...though I'm sure certain people wouldn't mind such things happening to either Aramark or maid cafe fans. o_o; Link to post Share on other sites

Transepoch 9 Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 What is needed is a Taco Bell, TGI Fridays, and a dunkin' donuts within walking distance. that would be awsome. There are already two Dunkin Donuts a couple blocks North to either side of the BCC (one on S Howard & E Baltimore and one at Light & W Lombard.) The Taco Bell is a few blocks North at Charles & E Baltimore. Link to post Share on other sites
Light_kun 0 Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I know a place thats seriously RIGHT across the street oblivious to everyone but me ;] It has AMAZING food, but its so secret, but amazing. ;]] Link to post Share on other sites
Aresef 113 Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I didn't care for the California Tortilla place either. It was over priced and not that good.

CT is the closest vegetarian-friendly place around. Especially with Afghan Kabob gone now. Link to post Share on other sites
The INfamous MC 24 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Ugh, who cares if one person likes Caltort and someone else doesn't? There are many upon many places to get cheap/expensive eats around...so like agree to disagree and move on my dears. Link to post Share on other sites
GlitteringLoke 0 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 that tacobell at baltimore and charles has been closed for well over a year now. it wasn't open last year during otakon and it wasn't open as my bus went past it this morning. XD there's always fighting for seating somewhere in the harbor place food court Link to post Share on other sites
Duelistbluerose 0 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I really like going to the food court - mainly because it's always taken over by congoers. The food is not spectacular but it's more for the experience of sitting there and eating your food in costume. I don't even notice the "normies". An anntie anne's person reconized me as Aeris from FF7 and I was totally shocked by that. Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Scotsman 0 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 isnt there a whole foods around? thats better than cali tortilla, which wasnt good at all. too expenisve mainly Link to post Share on other sites
motoki-O 23 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 There's a new SuperFresh supermarket north on Charles Street a couple blocks away........... Speaking of which, does anyone know if the Superfresh ever ran out of food (or certain kinds of food) during either of the past couple of Otakon weekends? I never got the chance to pop over there myself, but I might need to hit it in the future and it'd be good to know if I should only bother hitting it on Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites

Ummmm..... it's a supermarket. Can you get more specific? Ramen? Granola bars? Goat meat? Brussels sprouts? Cocktail onions? Motor oil? Furthermore, it only opened in 2007, so past years are not applicable. Seriously, based on the downtown spending habits of Otakon's members, I'm not thoroughly convinced they actually EAT all weekend. I suggest that whatever the supermarket should run out of, there will be something else there that you'll be happy to eat. And furthermore, odds are it might be better for you, anyways. But thanks for the inadvertent reminder--I will make sure to pay them a visit and warn them of the plague of cosplaying locusts bound to descend upon them.......... (And now, I will make my unofficial prediction of what they will run out of............................ condoms......) Link to post Share on other sites
Shineigami02 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Ah, yet another Inner Harbor eatery gone for good... A moment of silence if you will. I'm not too disappointed though, just as long as they don't close down my 2 favorite places to go every year to eat. I'm not telling what they are though, seeing as I don't have any wood to knock on right now... Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 That is a shame. Last year was the first time I got to eat there, and I was really looking forward to visiting it again. Link to post Share on other sites
4chanpartyvan 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I liked that place, but I just go to Subway. Close, fast, easy. Veggie subs are cheap there anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
