New Bar at Bookmakers 

Federal Hill’s Bookmakers is opening a second-story cocktail bar called Grey Ghost. From Baltimore Business Journal:

The bar, called Grey Ghost, is named after famed thoroughbred Native Dancer’s nickname.

Ben Circelli, general manager at Bookmakers, said they have always had the upstairs and used it for big events when needed, but decided it was time to make use of the roughly 1,100 square feet. Bookmakers debuted in 2014.

The new bar is expected to launch by the end of April.

Also from the article:

Grey Ghost will have a different look and vibe than Bookmakers. The space will only be open on Fridays and Saturdays with normal dinner service from 5-9 p.m. Afterwards, the space will have its own unique drink menu.

Muir’s Tavern Block Party for Thomas Johnson 

Muir’s Tavern at 36 E. Fort Ave. is hosting its annual block party on May 13th from 1pm to 7pm. The proceeds will go to Thomas Johnson Elementary Middle School. Tickets cost $20 and include a t-shirt. The party will feature a live band, DJ, food, drinks, and raffles.

Baltimore Makes Lists 

It’s been an up-and-down month for Baltimore when it comes to internet lists.  Baltimore was rated as Travel + Leisure’s Least Attractive City survey in 2016. From the article:

Readers love Baltimore for its revitalized inner harbor, and its beautiful historic sites—such as the Beaux Arts Pennsylvania Station, one of 65,000 local buildings on the National Historic Register. But while the city itself is photogenic to the core, Americans think its citizens are less so. Baltimore has slipped down the list from its No. 4 spot, and now has the sad honor of being America’s least attractive city in this year’s survey. Residents shouldn’t take the news badly, though. They’re passionate enough about their hometown sports teams to minimize any potential hurt feelings.

But, Travel + Leisure did rate the George Peabody Library at Johns Hopkins University as one of the Most Beautiful College Libraries in America.

Baltimore was also named one of Conde Nast Traveler’s 6 U.S. Cities to Watch in 2017. From the article:

To know Baltimore is to venture beyond its overcrowded, often underwhelming Inner Harbor area. Head east of the tourist traps, and you’ll find Fell’s Point, a quaint, sett-stone neighborhood dating back to the 1760s. Its imposing Recreation Pier building, once an early 20th-century destination for social events, has been converted into the stately, 128-room Sagamore Pendry Baltimore, the lovechild of Under Armour founder (and Maryland native) Kevin Plank and Montage International—here, you’ll find rooms lined with warm wooden millwork and the odd leather settee, plus water views. Throw in the hotel’s Rec Pier Chop House, helmed by chef Andrew Carmellini, where you and a friend can tuck into a 28-day dry-aged Porterhouse, and you’ve got your evening cut out for you. Plus, Baltimore’s bike share program launched last October, making it all too easy to find yourself in the city’s Little Italy, where a plate of pasta at Café Gia and a fresh cannoli from Vaccaro’s Italian Pastry Shop are just within reach. Looking for a day trip? Try the Guinness Brewery, which will open in the nearby town of Relay come October.

ProjectSpace Comes to Federal Hill

From a Parking Authority of Baltimore City (PABC) press release:

Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Parking Authority of Baltimore City (PABC), in partnership with the Mayor’s Office on Disabilities, announced today that Phase 3 of ProjectSPACE, the parking program aimed at combatting the abuse of disability placards, creating reserved, accessible on-street parking for people with disabilities, and making more available parking for everyone, will launch in Federal Hill on April 17, 2017. As in Phases 1 and 2, the third phase will require all people parking on-street to pay the parking meter, including vehicles displaying disability placards or tags.

“I’m excited that people with disabilities will soon have the accessible parking spaces they need to be able to enjoy Federal Hill,” said Mayor Pugh.

As part of ProjectSPACE, Phase 3 reserves 24 on-street parking spaces for vehicles displaying disability placards or tags. Each space will be equipped with a single-space parking meter that meets the newest Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. Additionally, the card readers and coin drops of 57 multi-space EZ Park meters throughout Federal Hill will be lowered to meet the most-current ADA standards. The meters will provide people with disabilities equal access to on-street metered parking. Meters that meet the ADA standards are marked with the universal accessibility logo. Payment will be required after April 17 at all accessible meters. The cost to park will be the same for everyone, including those using a disability placard or tags. As in previously launched Phases 1 and 2, all time limits for on-street parking spaces within the area will increase to four hours to give people with disabilities additional time to get to and from their destination.

ProjectSPACE is part of an ongoing, long-term solution to a major parking problem in Baltimore City. Current policy in all areas of the city except for the Central Business District (Phase 1) and the Fells Point and Harbor East neighborhoods (Phase 2) allows individuals displaying a disability placard or license plates to park on-street at meters free of charge. This often results in illegal use by motorists parking for long periods of time and thefts of disability placards. Disability placards were the number one item stolen out of motor vehicles before ProjectSPACE Phase 1. By removing the financial incentive to park on-street free of charge in Federal Hill, PABC anticipates increased parking turnover similar to the effect Phases 1 and 2 have had on parking in the Central Business District, Fells Point and Harbor East neighborhoods. Ultimately, ProjectSPACE makes it easier for everyone to find an available parking space in Baltimore City.

Little Havana Celebrating Its 20th Anniversary this Thursday

Little Havana turned 20 this year and will be throwing a bash this Thursday from 5pm to 11pm at the restaurant and in its parking lot to celebrate. The bash is being called the ’20 year Havanaversary Party’ and it will feature a large tent in the parking lot, a pig roast, live music from ‘Real Geniuses’ and ‘Mambo Combo,’ a stilt walker, a fire juggler, and a rum bar.

“The party is going to be badass,” said Marc Gentile, co-owner of Little Havana. “We want every person who has loved Little Havana to come by.”

The outdoor tent will stay in place until Little Havana’s “Little Tijuana” Cinco de Mayo celebration on May 5th.

 

Making it to 20 years in South Baltimore has been an adventure for the Little Havana team. The restaurant began in 1996 when Tim Whisted moved back to Baltimore from the Florida Keys and wanted to open a place with the spirit of the South Florida islands. He found an abandoned 14,000 sq. ft. feed supply warehouse at 1325 Key Hwy. and believed in the future of this area of South Baltimore and built out the restaurant with brother Chris Whisted. Little Havana opened on March 5, 1997.

At the time, there was only one building at HarborView, Ritz-Carlton Residences had not yet been proposed, and investment in adjacent Federal Hill was not the same it is today. Next door to Little Havana was Globe Brewing Co., which closed a few years after Little Havana opened.

Scott Donnelly and Gentile, who worked at Little Havana to put himself through law school, eventually became co-owners of the restaurant with Whisted.

The restaurant fell on tough times in the mid-2000s when the building almost became the next site for a waterfront redevelopment during a hot real estate market. The team was just renting the space at the time and with the building being offered for sale there was a “30-day kick out” clause for Little Havana. The Little Havana team would have 30 days to leave if exercised by the building’s owner.

Meanwhile the co-owners thought they had found their next home at 1000 E. Key Hwy., three blocks down the street, but were unable to get the zoning changed to move the restaurant to the building. Gentile told SouthBMore.com the process was very costly for Little Havana.

During this process and search for a permanent home, the real estate market began to collapse and Little Havana had not yet been kicked out at 1325 Key Hwy. The ownership team was able to borrow enough money for a down payment to buy its property, which also included the adjacent Globe Brewing site, in 2010.

“Little Havana was a bit ahead of its time, but Tim persevered. We borrowed at times, we went broke at times, and we made it work,” said Gentile.

Things began to look up for Little Havana with the co-owners having the stability of owning the property and having more control of its future. They demolished the former Globe Brewing warehouse, subdivided the space from its building, and sold it to a developer, although they currently rent back the space for a parking lot.

The team completed improvements at Little Havana including updates to its dining, bar room, and outdoor space, which can be used for private parties and events. New offices were built on the second floor of the building and improvements and murals have been added to the exterior.

The next project for Little Havana will be utilizing a retail space facing Key Hwy. Gentile told SouthBMore.com that a plan for the space is still in the works.

“We’re in a good place now and we love the neighborhood,” said Gentile. “Not only do we know a lot of people in neighborhood, but we know their kids and have watched them grow up. We’ll probably soon be employing kids who once crawled on the pool table!”

Construction on 11 Townhomes Begins at Federal Point

Construction is underway on 11 new townhomes at the Federal Point redevelopment in the Sharp-Leadenhall/South Baltimore. The homes will replace a recently-demolished warehouse at 49 W. West St. and a carriage house and open lot at 101. W Ropewalk Ln. The site is located behind a small shopping center on the 1200 block of S. Hanover St. Federal Point will be sold by the SURE Sales Group of ReMax Sails.

Of the 11 townhomes, six will face Clarkson St. and five will face W. Ropewalk Ln. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom homes will be close to 2,000 sq. ft. and will have a brick exterior. The homes will each have a front one-car garage and feature a rooftop deck and second-story balcony. Buyers will be able to select interior finishes. The homes will have a new-construction five-year property tax phase-in.

Sales will begin in May and first deliveries are expected in early Fall. The homes are expected to be priced in the mid-$400,000s. Joe Sachetti of the SURE Sales Group told SouthBMore.com that Federal Point will likely have a model home.

The project was first presented to the Baltimore City Board of Municipal Zoning Appeals (BMZA) three years ago. Sachetti told SouthBMore.com the project experienced various infrastructure delays.

Construction of Federal Point comes at a time with a lot of surrounding development activity as the $275 million Stadium Square project is under construction a half a block from Federal Point. The redevelopment is also a half a block from the $8 million Union Bros. project, which will soon begin construction, and less than two blocks from Federal Hill’s Cross Street Market, which will begin its redevelopment later this year.

“We’ve kept an eye on the sounding development activity and we are excited to be a part of it,” said Sachetti. “These will be great homes in a prime location.”
