We had good food but bad service at Foraged. I would go back again not during restaurant week; my partner does not want to go back.

Restaurant Week website lists the menu as $40pp; when we arrived the waitress says $45pp. Fine. Waitress says they offer a wine pairing with each course for $20pp; when the bill came it was $25pp. Fine. The waitstaff mixed us up and gave us each other's food for every course despite clarifying who got what after the first mix-up. Fine. The kicker for my partner was a screwy mix-up where they forgot to bring us the second half of our meal and then got kind of salty about addressing it when we asked about it. Ended up having to pay for and extra round of wine tasting to get the pairing timed with the dishes when they finally came out and had a flat rose with dessert after they simply re-served the wine they'd initially tried to give us an hour before. Again, I'm sure 99% of those problems were RW-related because they were slammed with reservations and I would totally go back some other time, but my partner doesn't like "pay more to eat less" places in general and the service experience made him extremely bitter.

Cooking classes at Schola or Baltimore Chef Shop. Glassblowing classes at McFadden or Corradetti. Woodworking/soap making/basic plumbing(!)/etc. classes at Station North Tool Library. Wine tasting at Union Collective. A promise to rent out a water taxi when the weather is nice and to stock the bar with her favorite drinks. Duckpin bowling before it goes extinct. A day spent bopping around the various museums with you.

I flew Delta last week with no checked bags or TSA pre-check, I arrived about an hour ahead of departure and was through security in 10-15 mins.
