This installment of our walking tour through Federal Hill and South Baltimore is going to meander a bit more than usual. There are several more notable restaurants left in the area, but unlike the others I’ve written about, these are a bit farther apart. But they are worth visiting and definitely worth a mention. The […]
The desire for a perfectly poached egg at any time of the day is reaching critical mass, possibly due to the influence of Instagram. (I might admit to perpetrating some sexy egg porn myself.) The rapid expansion of local chain Iron Rooster means that need is being fulfilled, and then some. The first Iron Rooster […]
This week’s installment of our tour through Federal Hill and South Baltimore will be more similar to the way Baltimore locals scout out dining options, with one exception: locals live here. So we already know where all the good eats can be found. But you, intrepid traveler, probably have no idea that there are some […]
While the largest concentration of restaurants in the neighborhood known as Federal Hill is within a few blocks of Federal Hill itself, there are still plenty more in the surrounding area, which will be explored in upcoming posts. We’ll start today on Charles Street, just west of Cross Street Market, where there are several restaurants […]
There are so many restaurants so close together in the Federal Hill area, it’s hard to decide how to approach them. I suppose the most logical manner is to continue where we left off last time, which was at Grilled Cheese & Co, near the corner of Light and Cross Street. Head to that corner […]
Now that we’re done exploring the Inner Harbor area, we can venture slightly further south to an adjacent neighborhood: Federal Hill. Largely residential, Federal Hill is also home to many fine restaurants and drinking establishments, as well as the giant grassy promontory that is the neighborhood’s namesake. Federal Hill is currently used as a community […]

And several of them are even planning a Vegan Restaurant Week from August 18th – 26th (check out https://www.mdveganeats.com for more info). I’m […]
While many people think of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor as being the area immediately surrounding the water, the neighborhood actually stretches a bit further to the west and includes Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Thus, it seems fitting to conclude our multi-week tour of restaurants from Fells Point to the Inner Harbor with suggestions on where […]
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 […]
For the past several decades, Baltimore’s Inner Harbor has been a huge draw for visitors and residents alike. Harborplace was an amazingly popular shopping and dining destination in the 80s and into the 90s. Back then, the majority of the restaurants within the complex were locally-owned, if not by people from Baltimore, than at least […]
