Find Great Maryland Crab Soup in York, Pennsylvania

I returned to Orville’s Restaurant at York Airport for more of its great Maryland crab soup. The restaurant respects the Old Line State’s most famous export by calling it red crab soup. However named, it is the best crab soup that I can recall ever having.

Bennigan’s Leaves Something Worth Desiring

I just arrived home from dinner at Bennigan’s in Columbia, Maryland. It is my wife’s birthday–yes, a big one–and we were celebrating with family and friends. I received quite a bit of teasing during dinner…the restaurant wasn’t up to snuff with either the quality of food or the service, and I was expected to blog our experience. After I ate, I even returned to our car to pick up my wireless PDA, just in case I could log this article while still in the restaurant.

Wi-Fi and Morning Coffee at the Beach

It’s 8:15 A.M., and I’m enjoying my morning coffee while typing to my favorite friends. I’m siting in To Bean or Not to Bean (2Bean), an internet café in Bethany Beach, Delaware. 2Bean is the only café in town offering both wired and wireless internet access, and it’s a comfortable respite from the morning humidity and the afternoon heat that comes with being near the ocean.

I’m baching it tonight, so I fed the dog, grabbed a book, and headed off to my favorite Mexican restaurant.
