"Cafe Equator has been a busy Severn Avenue staple for decades, an unfussy but charming wood-paneled space that’s a favorite for weekday post-work dining. It started in Mandeville as a place called Typhoon, before opening across the street from Lakeside Shopping Center in 2002. The blanket shrimp, lemongrass calamari salad, po tak soup, and a specialty called Something in The Jungle are favorites. Now offering delivery." - Beth D'Addono
