It depends on what you like and what your price range is. Send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fells Point Really prefer Fells Point to the Inner Harbor...less tourists, more locals, more fun. For good beers, head to Max's and the Cat's Eye Pub.

USMCBillsFan Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I don't know about eating but Bohager's is a great club near the inner harbor. All you can drink for like 20 bucks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callemasiseesem Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Try Little Italy if you are interested in Italian. Lot's of great restaurants. Do not get dessert at the restaurant, go to Vacarro's. I haven't been to Little Italy in a few years but I always like Amicci's (casual and not too pricey). http://www.littleitalyrestaurants.com/litt...ts_vaccaros.htm http://www.littleitalyrestaurants.com/litt...nts_amiccis.htm For some awesome micro-brewed Belgian style beer (and a great restaurant too), try The Brewer's Art. There is a nice restaurant and lounge on the upper level and a dark bar in the lower level. You can get the full menu in the restaurant and they have a seperate menu for the bar areas. http://www.belgianbeer.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fells Point 732939[/snapback] I guess technically that is true, since G&M Restaurant is in Linthicum, which is near BWI-TM. http://www.gandmrestaurant.com/ Really prefer Fells Point to the Inner Harbor...less tourists, more locals, more fun. For good beers, head to Max's and the Cat's Eye Pub. 732939[/snapback] I really don't like Fells Point that much, other than Admiral Fell's Inn, which is a great place to eat. Too many people on narrow streets w/ traffic buzzing by you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'll also suggest hitting a game at Camden Yards....there are a lot of nice ballparks that have popped up in the last ten years, but when I was there in 1995 it was really an experience. Beautiful park, great atmosphere, and GREAT food. It may be the best ballpark food I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thnk you'll be impressed when you get out there....it's absolutely beautiful. I remember just staring at the quality of the field and being in awe of it. It's perfectly manicured and just beautiful. I was only in Baltimore (Columbia, really) for a few months, but I was able to see Cal Ripken play in person and then watch my Braves win the WS later that fall. I enjoyed that baseball season more than just about any other. But yeah, that park is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place I'm really looking forward to going is to the stadium in Erie where the Sea Wolves play. I love minor league ball; much more fun, no prima donnas. They built the stadium about a year or so after I moved to Maryland, and I still haven't seen them play there. I don't usually make trips up to Erie until fall, and by then, the season is over.

MattyT Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Thanks everyone. Crab soup sounds good, but I'll have to re-evaluate the idea while I'm actually baking in the 105 degree weather. Oh yeah...been to Camden... beautiful ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've never disappointed me, but I guess it's not for everyone. I haven't been to that place before, but I've heard good things (nice decor, impressive wine list-if that's your thing) and bad things (long waits, poor service, high prices) about them.

There's a few locations here, and neither has impressed me to where I'm looking to pay that kind of cash on a recurrent basis. Could be worse, though: they could be Shula's. That place doesn't just do loans, they do refinancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing really wrong with the place except they are so overpriced relative to the cut of meat you're getting that it's embarrassing. The only steakhouse I've ever been to where prices like that were justified was Bob's Steak and Chophouse in Dallas. Finest I've ever been to and worth every single penny, right down to the after-dinner cocktails and cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
