11 Things to Do in Downtown Baltimore

Cathy Pelekakis
Baltimore is this quiet little city on the Bay. We may not be as metropolitan as New York or Washington, DC. however we offer a lot of culture for our small spec of the world. Here are a list eleven things to do while you are in our city, please enjoy yourself:

1. Depending on whether it is spring, summer or fall go to either an Oriole Baseball Game or to a Raven's football game, the stadiums are awesome and are only a short walk from anywhere downtown.
2. Visit the Maryland Science Center, from the Inner Harbor you can take a water taxi across the inlet to the Science Center
3. The Baltimore Aquarium is state of the Art; they have this awesome dolphin show at the end of the tour. The prices are reasonable, and as the radio commercials around here state the "prices take a dive after five". Give it a look see well worth the money.
4. Walk around the promenade of the Inner Harbor, and stop by to visit the USS Constellation.
5. Go to Phillips restaurant, this is located in the Inner Harbor; they serve some of the best crab imperial that I have ever tasted.
6. For a nice dinner in downtown, walk across to the Rusty Scupper, it sits out on the dock overlooking the Bay.
7. Take a day trip on the Lady Baltimore, she cruises out to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and back again, they have lunch and dinner cruises, really nice.
8. Visit the Babe Ruth Museum for some baseball memories.
9. In town and there is a show at the Hippodrome, buy tickets to one of the best theaters around the area.
10. Into Sports, walk down the inner harbor promenade to the ESPN Zone, there you will be able to prop your feet up, have a beer, and watch sports from fifty different television sets.
11. Walk a few yards past the ESPN Zone and you are in Little Italy, pick a restaurant anyone of them has superb food. I personally like Sabitinos, best clams casino in town.

Wear walking shoes, and this is just if you are staying in downtown Baltimore and not venturing out to the suburbs
