The densely tangled streets of Little Italy , still a strongly Italian neighborhood, spread to the south and east of downtown. Besides dozens of restaurants and cafés (many of them very good), the area holds plenty of Baltimore's trademark stone-fronted rowhouses, almost all with highly polished marble steps. As a sort of traditional local substitute for air conditioning, in the heat of summer residents move their furniture outdoors, thereby turning each street into an extended living room.
