This is Taste of Atlantic City month. It features $20 lunch and $35-$60 dinner deals. Deal me in. I went to the renowned bakery in town for a club roll to make a sandwich, then strolled to Tony’s Baltimore Grill in Tropicana’s shadow. First course is a soup or salad. Informed of a pasta fazool soup, I accepted. It was fantastic. Just what I wanted on an inclement day. I also got a bread basket with butter and saltine crackers. Second course had many options. I chose Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti, liberally applying the cheese shaker. After enjoying the edges of the CP, I tucked the bird in the scooped roll. Crispy edges, nice touch of cut basil. Not healthy, but it’s a cheat meal. The only dessert is NY Cheesecake. It was the fluffy kind, not the dense brick I prefer. But sufficiently good nonetheless. It was all plenty for twenty. Functional jukeboxes on most tables. Music on sound system: King of Pain, Edge of Seventeen, Crocodile Rock, Should I Stay or Should I Go (Gambler’s Dilemma). All oldies, all the time. 99 years in business.

Tony’s ambiance. You could say it’s a homey, lived in establishment. Their charming bar is next door.
