Movie review: The Phoenician Scheme

4 days ago | baltimoremagazine.com | Max Weiss

As I’ve said before, Wes Anderson is like cilantro. You either love him or you think he tastes like soap (metaphorically speaking, at least). Me? I love him. (I also love cilantro, but will need to do further research to determine a corollary.)In fact, over the years, I’ve turned into something of a Wes Anderson apologist. I’ve at least liked all of his films and loved most of them. My favorites, because who can resist ranking him, are The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tenenbaums.

Review: The Wren Perfects the Pub in Fells Point

1 week ago | baltimoremagazine.com | Lydia Woolever

Most nights of the week, through the leaf-green door at 1712 Aliceanna Street, Will Mester will be in the back corner, a white apron tied around his waist, drifting between the two induction cooktops of his ad-hoc kitchen, the smell of melting butter in the air, as he quietly cooks up a storm under the lamplight of The Wren. It’s not exactly where you might expect to find him.
An Ode to the Orange Crush: Maryland’s (Now Official) Drink of Summer

1 week ago | baltimoremagazine.com | Lydia Woolever

When the weather gets warm enough in the Land of Pleasant Living, an inevitable thirst emerges. Not for any particular can of beer, mind you, not even an ice-cold Natty Boh. Instead, it’s our state’s undisputed drink of summer—the one and only orange crush. This year, Gov. Wes Moore made it official, rightfully designating the icy crush Maryland’s state cocktail as of June 1.
Jesse Dortzbach Shares the Magic of Making a Good Cigar

1 week ago | baltimoremagazine.com | Mike Unger

Smoking is very much permitted in Jesse Dortzbach’s workplace. In the studio that he built himself behind his Towson home, smoke wafts from the tip of a cigar that he also made with his own two tattooed hands. A Baltimore County art teacher, Dortzbach has been hand-rolling cigars as a side gig since 2021. The craft fits perfectly with his artistic mind and handy spirit—not to mention his unfettered love for smoking the cigars.
Good Contrivance Farm is an Oasis for Visiting Writers-and the Man Who Runs It

1 week ago | baltimoremagazine.com | Max Weiss

Ron Tanner, 71, is giving me a tour of Good Contrivance Farm, the six-acre writers retreat he operates out of historic Reisterstown. He passes what were once hen houses, pig pens, and stables that have now been retrofitted into assorted loft apartments, reading rooms, and workshop spaces. He shows me the garden and greenhouse, where he plants vegetables and flowers. He takes me into the main farmhouse that had to be completely gutted and renovated before becoming his home.
Review: The Undefeated is a Key West-Themed Cocktail Bar Hemingway Would Approve Of

2 weeks ago | baltimoremagazine.com | Mike Unger

A hallmark of the Atlas Restaurant Group’s playbook is establishing a narrative for their bars and restaurants. The Undefeated, a playful new cocktail bar in the heart of Fells Point, is no different. It’s Cuban- and Key West-themed, with the salsa music, tropical feel, and photos of Havana to prove it. But the truth of The Undefeated’s story is more engaging than the fiction.

A White Baltimore Cop Killed a Black Serviceman in 1942. Investigative Files Were Just Released.

2 weeks ago | baltimoremagazine.com | Ron Cassie

Thomas Broadus Jr. never knew his namesake father. He was two years old—the first-born twin of two sets of twins born to Thomas and Estelle Broadus—when his father, a U.S. Army private from Pittsburgh was shot in the back by a white Baltimore police officer in 1942. His mother, distraught by the slaying her entire life, never remarried. She rarely spoke of her husband, who had been stationed in a segregated unit at nearby Fort Meade, Maryland, when he was killed.
