Be prepared if this is your maiden trip to Double T Diner, one of several offspring of this Baltimore family favorite. Just perusing the huge menu can take awhile (though servers are patient enough to make several "Have you decided yet?" visits to your table).

Double T is heavy on chrome, art deco visuals and piled-high comfort food. Paying homage to Mom's mantra about the morning meal being the most important of the day, breakfast is served 24-7 at some branches of this silvery oasis. Dinner options range from blue-plate favorites like hot turkey sandwiches to Italian, Greek and seafood specialties. And if you're not in the mood for a milkshake, you can sip a cocktail with dinner instead. Late at night, don't be surprised if someone orders french fries slathered in rich, brown gravy (none of that dipping on the side for real diner aficionados).

It'll be tough, but try to save some room for dessert. Double T's sweet concoctions will have you bursting at the seams. Since variety is important to diner denizens, visit other Double T locations in the area. You'll find the same comfy, upholstered booths and CD jukeboxes in each. -- Pete Kerzel
