I had the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had in my life in downtown St. Louis at a place called Sugarfire. Unfortunately, I had to keep my hand on my pistol anytime we were on the street.

Portland, Maine has a nice downtown with virtually no traffic and good food. I'm not sure if they passed ordinances but it also smelled a lot less like skunk weed than it did last year. Safe with interesting shops and cops everywhere

Those northeastern white people have no idea how good they have it really.

Just stay out of South Portland.

Twenty years ago I would have pointed out San Francisco and Portland

This is no longer the case

Correct. I wouldn't be caught dead in St. Louis other than maybe parachuting in for a Cardinal's game.

I know Jacksonville and Buffalo have crap downtowns but this place is a ghost town. For a prof sports town it’s the worst.
Jacksonville speaks for itself but I had a really good time in downtown Buffalo

Baltimore says hold my beer


I was recently in Baltimore for work and really enjoyed the Inner Harbor/Fells Point areas.

Obviously there are a lot of very bad areas in Baltimore, but those two were nice.

Been many years, but this is where I would go to eat well: Cunetto's
Tuesday nights a special was offered - veal saltimbocca which the locals often ordered. Might be worth asking if it is available.

It is a beautiful downtown and completely shuts down once the sun sets. Bizarre. I was born there and still have family there. Hell-hole. Now that no one is in BTR, I will only go back for a football game, and maybe not even then. The gangs from 70805, where I was raised, don't keep themselves between Plank, Evangeline, Hollywood and Airline anymore.

If you’re looking for a unique lunch, you can check out Crown Candy Kitchen. It’s an old school malt shop that has been there forever and it shows. The neighborhood is awful and a cop car is parked out front during business hours. It closes at 5:00pm so everyone can get out alive. The ice cream is good, the food is average, but the atmosphere is a place you know won’t be around much longer.

The guy from Man vs Food did their shake challenge and threw up before finishing. You’re welcome.

Have you been to St Louis? People aren’t ragging on it just because. It’s fricking dangerous.

The Old Spaghetti Factory is open until 9 pm. Trivia, but it is due north of Metairie.

Broadway Oyster Bar has lot of LA type food, and is open until 3 am.
