Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll Tomorrow!
Posted by Samantha Lazar on June 9, 2010
Baltimore Avenue is a mecca for diverse and eclectic energy in University City, be it in the form of food, drink, shopping, or entertainment. I’ve highlighted many of the street’s shops and cultural attractions on the blog before, but never before has there been such a perfect opportunity to check out so many of them in just one evening! Tonight is the first installment of the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll, which will take place on the second Thursday of each month throughout the summer (the next ones are July 8th and August 12th, if you want to mark your calendar). Fifteen businesses along the Avenue, between 43rd and 50th Streets, will be offering special wares for just a buck each. Who says a dollar can’t buy anything nowadays?
Start your stroll with a $1 cup of coffee or tea at the Green Line Café at 43rd and Baltimore, and then wend your way westward. Some highlights from the restaurants include $1 scoops of ice cream at Milk and Honey Market, $1 finger foods and salads at Dahlak, raw foods at Atiya Ola’s, tofu skewers at Vientiane Café, and sandwiches at The Gold Standard. There are several places to get your one dollar drink on, including Queen of Sheba, Elena’s Soul, and Dock Street (which is also offering $1 souvenir pint glasses!). For shopping you can check out Young Love’s or browse homemade gifts at VIX Emporium. If you’re feeling energetic swing by Studio 34, which is offering special yoga classes for just a dollar! Perhaps the most interesting offering of the evening is from Curio Theatre Company, which will be presenting previews of its upcoming performances for just one measly dollar.
The weather should be glorious and the neighborhood will certainly be hopping. Check out the full list of participating venues here, and make sure to come back next month too!
