Agree with the sentiment of the other commenters- I moved here last summer and people here are extremely friendly. Easy to make friends with cool people in Volo leagues, at bars, neighbors, etc. One thing to notice - Baltimoreans LOVE to give recommendations for bars and restaurants. Keep a running list of where people tell you to go! Baltimore is very neighborhoody so even though it’s a city, you don’t get that feeling of “I’ll never see any of these people ever again” like when you go to places in bigger cities, and people take a lot of pride in the places they frequent.

I should've figured Hampden would be the best bet

Someone I ran into in my search today recommended there, I'll have to check it out

Nope, General Tso's chicken - I've seen a handful of recipes that use it though so it'll be good to stock up

Thank you all!!
