"Candiace Dillard Bassett and Wendy Osefo headed up to Baltimore to enjoy daytime cocktails and entrees at Harbor East hotspot BLK Swan, a scene-y restaurant and lounge with resident DJs at night. Wendy’s friend Keiarna, who works at a nearby wellness spa, met up with the pair to talk shop. Seated to a backdrop of chandeliers and neon-lit signage spelling out “I came, I swan, I conquered,” Candiace ordered the “PWA” (Pretty With an Attitude) cocktail with pineapple-infused run, while Wendy for the agave-based Smoking Mirrors ($25). For food, they ordered chef Saon Brice’s popular pasta pomodoro featuring lump crab and Gulf shrimp and fire-roasted lamb chops." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
