Great crabs and seafood! When you come to Baltimore you have to try some old-bay blue crabs! This place has fresh seafood as well. It's located about a 10-15 minute ride away in Locust Point...it's well worth the wait!

This is a great place for dinner...but check out some of Baltimore's local beers here. A favorite among many is the "Resurrection Ale...." There is a great downstairs area, good vibe, good people....oh and try the garlic fries!

Sightseeing

Visit Patterson Park and go to the Pagoda. The Pagoda sits on top of a hill that overlooks Baltimore- stunning! The park is also gorgeous and boasts 2 one mile loops- so if you are looking for a good place to run/walk this is great too.
