BALTIMORE — A colorful cafe that serves up "creole Boricua" food is making the move from Dundalk's North Point Plaza flea market to central Baltimore.
Owls Corner Cafe is bringing Puerto Rican - that is, "Boricua" - flair to Mt. Vernon, next door to the longtime Iggie's Pizza on North Calvert Street.
The restaurant was especially personally affected by last year's Key Bridge collapse.
One of the workers lost her husband in the tragedy, prompting Owls Corner to close temporarily and being featured by CNN for her support ofJosé Mynor López.
Owls Corner is hoping to open in early April, at 824 North Calvert, said owner Lilly Ordoñez.
About the new location, she said:
We fell in love with the diversity of the neighborhood; we feel that our concept of business and community fit perfectly in this community; we are a small family business with a passion for customer service and we want to invite as many people as possible to get to know more of our culture thru our flavors.
