Shopping right at the Square in Govanstown
The restaurant to fuel up at is Swallow at the Hollow, located at the corner of Northern Parkway and York Road. The Hollow is technically a bar, but they serve the most delicious burgers. When you visit with friends, you have to order the "party platter," which has some of the best fried food I've ever tasted.
A good alternative is Fortunato's. Though Fortunato's looks like a hole in the wall, it has some incredible pizza. Try the BBQ chicken or the bacon and pineapple. Any slice will put Papa John's to shame. In my opinion, it sweeps everything. The tomato bread alone is worth writing about.
If you're looking for variety, however, you just can't beat Belvedere Market, a series of counters offering some of the best soup you've ever tasted (try the carrot-ginger seafood soup with crab and shrimp at Atwater's), fresh fruit, candy and an adorable bakery serving head-sized brownies. You can order food from a couple of different counters and sit at any one of them. They'll serve you your food no matter where you're seated, and clean up after you, too.
After you've visited one of these fine establishments, head over to the Senator, a charming, old-fashioned movie house. Baltimore passion is so high for the Senator that, when it was rumored to be closing last year, actual protests were held.
