Calling all antique shoppers! Did you know that there’s an antique store in Maryland that also has a hidden lunch counter? Head here for an afternoon, where you can peruse treasures and then follow it up with classic American cuisine. This is one unique spot that we think every Marylander should visit (and chow down at) at least once.
Travel all the way west in Maryland to find Englander’s Antiques & Grill, located in Oakland.
