I work/have lived in Baltimore for years and was asked by an out-of-towner where he should visit while in town. Paper Moon. To me, it is a representative microcosm on the city - shocking, a little trashy, a little scary (depending on what time of nite you show up), filled with ornery characters, both working behind and seated at the counter. Everyone is just trying to make a buck.
Pros: Free Parking, 24 Hour Service
Cons: Dangerous Neighborhood, Long Waits for 24 hr. Spot
