It wasn't great before the pandemic, but ever since there's basically nothing to eat late night.

If it's after 8 or 9 PM there is almost nothing available in this city and honestly it's pathetic. You don't get this problem in DC, Philly, or NYC.

DC has a 24 hour spot on the weekend called the Diner. You can get chocolate chip pancakes on a Friday night or technically early Saturday morning. I love that place!

NYC or Philly has a lot more people to feed, so it's worth staying open later. It scales with population density.

NYC has 8 million+ people. Why would you ever compare it to Baltimore? Of course there's going to be better stuff there.

There's 20 times as many people sure. Don't think anyone is expecting to find 1000 places open at 2am in Baltimore. But it would be nice to have like 6 that aren't gas stations?

Just trying to say that the closest east coast cities are all doing it better. I understand that NYC is a lot bigger.

Back in the day, the papermoon diner was one of the only places open really late....not sure if they still are though. I worked at a recording studio near it and we'd go there often after our sessions that ended late.

Paper moon hasn't been 24 hours in at least 10 years, and IIRC they'd even stopped staying open til 3am before the pandemic. They're not open late even for a regular dinner shift anymore, though.

Also their food has never been good. At least not in the last 20 years.

In 98-02 when i was in the area, it was reasonable, with bonus points for availability and a pretty cool group of people working and eating there.

Never great, just largely generic sysco IIRC. Though it's a few blocks from my house I haven't bothered going since they cut their hours the first time.

Interesting. I haven’t lived in Baltimore for about 18 years so I’m dating myself with my comment.
