Paper Moon is the gold standard in wacky diners in Baltimore. The walls are covered in toy collections, chairs and tables are intentionally mismatched and hand painted, and dismembered mannequins are strewn about the dining areas. Factor in the array of vibrant paint colors and the menus that are housed in gutted children’s books, and you have the visually overwhelming, just-this-side of nauseating wonderland that is Paper Moon.The food is classic diner fare – omelettes, pancakes, sandwiches, burgers, even meatloaf –with slight twists (the Bird’s Nest, for example, is a turkey sandwich with a healthy dose of honey mustard, avocado, and a mountain of sprouts). The late night munchies are the menu’s high point. The nachos are best at one a.m. — or at least they used to be, until the diner scaled back its hours to close at midnight Sunday – Thursday. The breakfast is still decent in the morning though, and it’s probably good for us to get up and eat our meals in the daytime like decent folks.
