I remember when the Rusty Scupper opened back in 1982. There wasn’t much else in that corner of the Inner Harbor where Key Highway changes course from East-West to North-South. Historic Federal Hill, once topped with Union army cannons trained on the city center during the Civil War, stood silently nearby. The open park-like space called […]
We’re still on our tour from Fells Point to the Inner Harbor, but I am getting tired of using the same title post after post. And today we’re going to concentrate on the area called Little Italy, which is just north of Harbor East, so it seemed fitting to title this post, er, Little Italy. […]
Before last week’s spotlight on Wit & Wisdom, we had skirted the water’s edge in the downtown Baltimore neighborhood known as Harbor East and ended up at the James Joyce. Today, we’re going to continue our tour by hanging a right at the corner of President and Fleet Streets and heading east for a few […]
When last we met, we were enjoying the “Admiral’s Hour” at Oceanaire after a stroll from Fells Point to Harbor East. Today, we’re going to wander around Harbor East a bit more. There’s tons to see and do in this area, especially if you’re a foodie. In all honesty, it’s the only reason I ever […]
When we last met here on the City Walker blog, we chose (ok, I chose on your behalf) to continue our walk straight down to the end of Thames Street and visit the Waterfront Kitchen, rather than hanging a right onto Caroline. Today, we’re going to explore that other option. Yes, that first block of […]

I knew full well that Downtown Baltimore was west of where we lived; my Mom and I made weekly excursions […]
Bryson Keens and Rey Eugenio were once managing partner and chef partner at Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion at Harbor East some years ago. This was back in the days before there were so many restaurants to choose from in the area, and Roy’s was the place to go. The menu, featuring dishes served in all Roy’s […]

I spent the first 19 years of my life in Fells Point on the diversely populated 500 block of South Ann Street. At the time, there was a smattering of elderly Polish and Ukrainian immigrants living there, several families from Puerto Rico, and a good handful of folks who had moved up from West Virginia […]
Editors Note: One thing we like to do when launching in a city is to partner with local writers. This is a key part to the City Walker experience, we don’t only want our app (iOS and Android) to have a local prospective, we want our blog to have it too! This gives the authentic personal […]
