for a weekend in June with the wifey. Staying at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront by Little Italy.

Tell me what to do, to eat, and where to imbibe!

If you enjoy Craft Beer there are a lot of good places downtown. Here are a few favorites:

The Brewer's Art (A brewpub located in the Mount Vernon area of Baltimore; they brew mostly Belgian style beers; food is upscale American)

Of Love & Regret (This is the Stillwater Artisanal Ales brewpub; 27 taps with some guest brews)

Birroteca Baltimore (Craft Beer Pizzeria, need I say more?)

Max's Taphouse (102 taps, 5 casks and over 1000 bottles; the food is typical bar fare) Located in the Fell's Point area of Baltimore\

Send me a PM if you are interested in some places outside of the city.

Go to the inner harbor. Don't leave the inner harbor area. The inner harbor is nice and fairly safe.

What's the deal with soft shell crabs? When? Do they always taste like eating shell? Where to go? Etc Etc

Listen to his advise . Baltimore can be a troublesome if you wander out of the civilized area. And I'm not kidding.



Oh , and by all means enjoy !

It appears Obrickis Crabhouse is closed. Only open at the airport.

You will be hitting Baltimore in the prime time for soft-shell crabs. It's a hard concept to wrap your head around when you think about eating the entire crab, especially when it still looks like s full complete crab! I remember what I thought when I first saw one as a kid; this guys was eating a sandwich with crab legs hanging out!! LOL I thought the guy was freaking crazy!! Anyway, these are Blue Crabs that outgrew their previous shells and shed their hard shell to grow a new one. They taste like Blue Crabs with a subtle crunchy texture (opposite feeling of eating an eggshell by accident! LOL).

I would try Mother's in Federal Hill for more of a local vibe; you can always try McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks (close to where you are staying).

Pick a different city to visit, seriously..I'm aircrew, flew combat missions, so are most of our pilots..i.e., not shrinking violets, or the scared type, but, in the last few years, a bunch have been robbed, accosted and harassed by the thugs the city government seems to protect. Not worth a special trip....another city trashed by Dems. Go to Annapolis instead.

Wife and I have been to the inner harbor area several times over the last 18 years and never had any problems. Inner city Baltimore is another story.... We went into the town area around the harbor and didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling lol. If the op sticks to the harbor should be fine. Lots to see and do there for a weekend.

Maryland isn't a CC friendly state (just sayin')

Did you take your June trip to Baltimore yet?

Take a water taxi over to Fells Point for nightlife, plenty of bars that can be walked to easily. As others said, stay in Inner Harbor and don't venture too far from there except to take the water taxi to Fells Point.

I've flown back and forth across the country probably 20 times since the OP axed for advice on Baltimore. Nice of him to let us know how it went.

Maybe he did stray toward MLK Blvd?
