Sushi at XS - Tamar Alexia Fleishman
Mt. Vernon’s XS (www.xsbaltimore.com ) has provided Baltimore with a new place to go, complete with breakfast all day, sushi, cocktails and desserts. Remember how things were 20 years ago? Generally, only diners were open late and none of their menus were too inspiring. XS has been open for a few years now, but they have just opened up a new lounge area and it’s gorgeous. With banquettes, low lighting, exposed brick, candles… it definitely rivals that other lounge in the area. XS has its own comfy vibe, though. First of all, they open up at 6:30 in the am with their specialty coffee drinks, breakfast, fresh fruit… perfect for all those commuters to D.C. running to Penn Station, students running to UB or MICA, local business people. Mt. Vernon and Mt. Royal are laid back neighborhoods – having spent 20 years there, I know the residents generally aren’t running there then! Well, maybe as an after-hours thing. If you’re stuck at Penn station, you should run down the street 2 blocks and check them out. At lunch, they roll out the sushi and wraps, with lots of fresh, unique rolls. At night, starting at 8 pm, the DJ and the house music comes out… but not too thumpy. The whole ambiance becomes chic and warm, so if you grabbed your coffee there in the day, you certainly won’t be bored coming later again the same night. Day and night at XS are two different creatures.
