Whenever you see a "Top 10" or "Top 20" headline, you can't help but cringe a little bit, wondering where Baltimore will end up on the list.

But here's one list worth celebrating!

Baltimore made the top 10 in Yelp's list of top destinations for food lovers.

Yelp looked at a number of factors when putting together this list, according to its website, including new restaurants.

"The Charm City offers an array of dining spots, from casual pubs to award-winning chefs to food halls," said the website. It cites Water for Chocolate in Upper Fells and Annabel Lee near Canton as among the top favorite.

Richmond VA and Pittsburgh PA also made the list. San Francisco came in at number one.

Congrats Baltimore!

It's the name that women’s suffragist and philanthropist Mary Elizabeth Garrett and her friends were known by, and the title of Hotel Revival’s intimate private dining room.
