North Baltimore's Belvedere Square boasts a dynamic mix of shopping and restaurants. It's market building hosts a carefully curated mix of delicious food, which patrons can enjoy on-site or take home. Within this 5,000 square foot emporium, one can dine on nourishing soup and a salad made of the freshest ingredients, treat the kids to homemade ice cream or vegan chocolate, rejuvenate with hand squeezed blood orange juice, and pick up smoked seafood or meats for tonight's dinner. This is just a sample of what the market has to offer, and I highly recommend checking their website for a complete directory. |
A pleasant atmosphere encourages patrons to linger and enjoy the company of others. Dogs are welcome, too (outside). |
One of the larger stores in Belvedere Square, Ceriello's offers Italian delicacies, prepared foods, and staples including their own sauces, marinades, and dressings. Patrons can sit right down in the store to enjoy the fare. |
The neighborhoods surrounding Belvedere Square attract many families with young children, so the owners wisely provide pint-sized seating options. |
Located across the street from Belvedere Square, the recently restored c. 1939 Senator Theatre offers residents and visitors the opportunity to see a movie in one of the grand movie palaces of the past (upgraded with today's comfort and sound standards in mind). Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Senator is a perfect complement to the shops and restaurants of Belvedere Square. It attracts patrons anxious to see the latest blockbuster as well sophisticated movie-goers interested in Oscar-worthy pictures. On many a Saturday morning, the Senator features beloved children's movies from yesteryear, from National Velvet to the Princess Bride, and the Senator also streams performances live from the Metropolitan Opera. |
One of a number of restaurants at the Square, Sofi's Crepes just blew out the candles on its 10th birthday. This photo shows the exterior of Sofi's Crepes, which is located around the corner from the main market and across the street from the Senator, during the holidays. I highly recommend the Nutella crepe, and I will leave on that note to go dream about crepes! |
