belvedere square is a small development in northern baltimore. one side has stores. the other side basically has a spectacular food court -- a sushi joint, a bakery, an italian grocery, atwater's for soup, then even a stand that specializes in smoked food. there is enough jammed into belvedere square that you need a plan. first, you need to buy some lunch. walk everywhere and think about what you'll want to return to buy. atwater's makes beautiful breads and soups, but i have never had them there. i end up on the other side, deciding between a smoked fish sandwich and a dozen italian delicacies. on my last trip, i went with the blt with salmon from the neopol savory smokery. bacon and salmon both smoked in-house, served on a thick-cut bread. good vegetables even in winter, terrific flavors. nothing at belvedere square is cheap, but i can't imagine where else i could get a sandwich like that.
