Things To Do
Fell's Point
Established in 1763, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Baltimore, Fell's Point was once a bustling shipbuilding port. Its visage has remained largely unchanged since its founding—picture Belgian block streets, waterfront restaurants and cozy boutiques just a few blocks east of the Inner Harbor. Spend a day during your next visit to Baltimore exploring historic Fell's Point. There are so many things to see, eat, do and enjoy in this walkable neighborhood.
Harbor East
Our former stomping grounds and place of residence (where the true love story began), Harbor East is a trendy extension of its neighbor, the iconic Inner Harbor. As a relatively new development area, this upscale neighborhood continues to grow and evolve as a destination for luxury with great options for fine dining (Azumi, Tagliata, Bygone, Cinghiale, The Charleston, Loch Bar, etc.), nice boutique shopping and plush accommodations all within a few blocks.
National Aquarium in Baltimore
The Aquarium is located in the heart of Inner Harbor. We've both been going since we were little. A nice daytime activity with a ton of great exhibits to see!
Federal Hill Park
Enjoy a panoramic view of Baltimore’s downtown and Inner Harbor from historic Federal Hill. Federal Hill was a defensive stronghold during the War of 1812 and replica cannons sit atop the neighborhood’s namesake hill in honor of its role as a military outpost. Now, Federal Hill is characterized by historic brick row homes and numerous locally-owned shops and restaurants. It’s home to both newcomers and families that have lived here for generations. Its charm combines 19th century history with beautiful architecture and ample entertainment.
Thames Street Oyster House
One of our favorite places to eat! Found deep in the heart of Fells Point, they have amazing seafood - we usually pop in for their large variety of oysters and their out-of-this-world lobster roll! (Reservations are recommended)
Clavel
Another favorite spot of ours. We had one of our first dates here. A recent 2024 James Beard Foundation semifinalist for Outstanding Bar, it is Taqueria & Mezcaleria in Remington serving amazing food deeply rooted in Sinaloan ritual (Mexican). (Reservations are not taken)
The Food Market
Located in another cute part of town, Hampden (hon). We love brunch here!! Dinner is also excellent...
Azumi
One of our favorite sushi spots. Found in Harbor East (where we met & lived for a few years), it gets bonus stars for being on the water and the harbor views.
Harbor East Cinemas
We love going to the movies! And this is one of our favorite theaters (not just because we lived above it, and they serve yummy drinks...). Take a break from the heat and catch a day-flick here!
The Spa at The Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore
Where we go to unwind and relax in town. Best views and massages in Baltimore.
