Local Reviews

  • The Art Behind the Moon

    Inside Papermoon Diner, every inch tells a story—thanks to the artistic vision of David Briskie, a MICA-trained sculptor. For over 25 years, Briskie has filled the walls with vintage objects, antiques, and offbeat finds, transforming the space into a living art installation.

    What began as a simple diner became an iconic Baltimore landmark when owner Un Kim took over in 1994 and welcomed Briskie’s creative transformation.
