Steamed crabs to cappuccinos highlighted in Baltimore Sun list.
We love this list the Baltimore Sun put together of some of the best places to grab a coffee or take someone special out for fine dining. With all the great eateries on the OBX we could certainly quibble with some of the choices or about places left off the list, but it’s still a good list that includes some choices from Corolla to Hatteras Island. We especially like Necla Rader’s Outer Bean Juice and Java as an awesome healthy and vegetarian choice.
