Burke's

Well, we really wanted to get into the heart of the city and really see Baltimore, not just the tourist sights... so, we asked a police man where we could go and get a home style breakfast and he directed us here to Burke's resaurant. It was a neat place. You step into a 30's style restaurant and it's nice and quiet...with a little jazz in the back ground. Much different sounds than the busy city streets (by the way I couldn't help it..I counted the amount of times I heard sirens go by.. 17!!). We ate our breakfast and it was very good..it hit the spot! We were ready to start a busy day of walking down town, sight seeing, and going to a wedding. I decided to use the facilities before we left and I was walked down the hall and was about to head down the steps to the rest rooms when what do I see?? A little mouse playing on the steps!! Needless to say I couldn't make it down the steps..I stood in shock for a moment... long enough to realize that this cute little mouse was quite at home here..with the noise of the people talking and dishes clanging in the kitchen.. that didn't seem to scare the mouse one bit, which leads me to believe that he stays there a lot and is used to that place!! Oh how I wish I would have taken those steps before I ate! Well, when you search out real city life, I guess that's what you get sometimes! It's surely something we laugh about now! If you are ever in Baltimore, do not eat at Burke's!
