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 […]
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 […]
Back when I was a little girl, there wasn’t much to see at the Inner Harbor except boats. This includes the Civil War-era sailing warship U.S.S. Constellation, docked at Pier 1 since 1963, and a submarine, the U.S.S. Torsk–the last ship to sink an enemy vessel in WWII–here since 1972. And lots of working tugboats, […]
I’ve tried to be good about pointing out restaurants as if you, the reader, are strolling through the neighborhood, but this post might not be as neat as that. While a walking tour of Little Italy is easy because so many restaurants are clustered together, there are also several notable places on the periphery. Keep […]
I promised to write about Waterfront Kitchen several weeks back while we were crossing over from Fells Point into the Harbor East area of Baltimore and have finally gotten around to it. I’m sorry this seems a bit out of order, but the restaurant recently got a new chef and I wanted to make sure […]
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 […]
While it’s pretty easy to find the obvious hotspots in Fells Point, that is, restaurants that are on the highly beaten paths of lower Broadway and Thames Street, there are plenty of other gems hidden away on various side streets. Few visitors to Fells Point would have any reason to walk east on Eastern Avenue […]
