Seven Mile Market - supposedly the largest kosher supermarket in the country.

Market Maven (formerly Seasons) - great prices for meat and chicken, also good place for shabbos food


Hotels:

Thinking about Airbnb style renting out my apartment for Orthodox visitors interested in staying in Pickwick East (near Rabbi Berger's shul) for Shabbos weekends or for a weeknight.. does anyone think there would be demand for it?

It would either be one room or the whole apt (two bedrooms) with a kosher kitchen, etc. It would seem ideal for couple/family looking to visit relatives in Pickwick and willing to spend ~$150/night(?) for the convenience of staying close by for an aufruf, shalom zachor, etc. It's a nice/clean/cozy apartment that visitors could potentially have to themselves.

Any thoughts?

i know someone that goes to Baltimore here and there. it's a couple (and soon to be baby) in a minivan. PM me if you want to text him for a ride (may charge, don't know how much).

the next time he's going is second days Succos. he's not sure if he's leaving Erev Shabbos or Hoshana Raba

(should i put this in the wiki?)

I don't like wasting my time going there for a YMMV. Going to try Mondawmin Mall next time and see if they got tougher too.

Went to serengeti again one night this week.  I could not believe it was almost completely full on a random weekday night. The awsome beef egg rolls that were a special last time, are now on the menu (through for a few dollars more).

Also,  we had a pumpkin soup with lamb bacon,  it was really good

I've gotten bored of the pulled beef eggrolls.  When they were off the menu and $12 they were worth it, but now for $18... meh.  And is it just me, or do all their soups taste the same.  Don't get me wrong, I likethe place and we desperately needed a steakhouse.

The waiter told us they were working on a new menu... Dunno how much they are changing.

Anyway,  the egg rolls are are worth 17 IMHO...
