  2. The Monarch

    <strong>The Monarch</strong>.<strong> </strong>Opened in January, The Monarch is a single, narrow room whose front half is given over to bar space and whose back half contains a handful of tall tables. (An undeveloped backyard holds the promise of outdoor dining someday.) The cool thing is that Andrew Brochu, a highly talented chef whose cooking landed him a job at Alinea and secured two Michelin stars at Graham Elliot restaurant, is running the kitchen here. The vibe here is very laid back and mellow, but the high quality of the kitchen output is undeniable. Silky smooth foie gras mousse ($13), served with strawberry jam and toasted brioche, was so good we begged for extra bread (we were in No Foie Left Behind mode). Duck confit chilaquiles ($14) are surprisingly prim, stacked neatly (at least on arrival) with crisp tortilla layers under a sunny-side-up roof. Blackening spices kick the shrimp and grits with cheddar cheese ($13) into high gear, and brioche French toast slices are topped with precisely diced roasted apples and a surfeit of Chantilly cream ($9). The &quot;box of cereal and milk" is a cute $2.50 touch (it's an actual box of cereal from a variety pack), as is the sweet-spicy supersoft pretzel, served with raisin cream cheese ($7).

  3. Bring on brunch

    Though Sunday brunch is a year-round option, warm and sunny weather is what brings out the crowds. I can attest to that, having spent most of the last 10 fairly miserable (weatherwise) weekends hitting one brunch after another; I don't think I found a single crowded dining room during all of February and March (Easter excepted), and reservations certainly were no problem. Brunch-friendly temperatures will be with us soon enough, and when they arrive, here are a few brunch spots, old and new, that will be worth checking out. Better still, visit them now, when tables are still easy to secure (Mother's Day excepted).

  4. New weekend brunch options

    When it's this frigid outside, the idea of attempting a weekend brunch that goes beyond toaster waffles eaten while huddled under a blanket seems downright unreasonable. If there's anything that stands the chance to ply you from the cozy comforts of your couch, it's the toasty offerings at these freshly debuted weekend brunches.

  5. Theater review: 'Phantasmagoria' from Empty Spaces Theatre Co.

    Something wicked this way comes in the form of &quot;Phantasmagoria," a dance-storytelling-puppetry entertainment created and directed by John DiDonna for his Empty Spaces Theatre Co. And this pastiche of stylish costumes, lowbrow puppet humor and scary stories is quite good at being wicked.

    A gunman kills an unarmed teenager and claims self-defense. Where have we heard this before? But don't try to link the killing of Florida high-schooler Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman to last year`s massacre in Norway. If...

  8. Five for Friday: Five reasons for Orioles optimism in 2011

    The Orioles have given Baltimore 13 straight seasons of losing baseball, a streak that would make them the laughingstock of the major leagues if not for that train wreck of an organization in Pittsburgh. There still has been plenty of giggling at the Orioles&rsquo; expense since 1997, but for the first time in what feels like a long time, people are taking the Orioles seriously heading into 2011.
