Things to do in Baltimore (that aren't go to an O's game)

Recommended Posts

Because I saw someone asked, here are some things to do in Baltimore if you're in town for an O's game (all relatively near the stadium). 

1. Top golf 

2. American Visionary Art Musem 

3. Crabcakes at Faidleys (Lexington Market has been re-done and it's gorgeous) 

4. Eat at Little Italy or in Federal Hill 

5. Aquarium/Science Center (especially if you have kids in tow)/Museum of Industry

6. Go Sailing (rent a boat yourself, or go on a "cruise")

7. Fort McHenry (take the water taxi) 

8. Walk around, especially in Federal Hill or Little Italy (or Patterson Park! - but it's a little further away) there are festivals, free concerts etc nearly every weekend during the summer.

Love this thread and all the suggestions!  
 

I’ll add: go see a show at Everyman Theatre. It’s right near where Alewife used to be.  Local, professional theatre that does really great, thought-provoking work.

Train lover then the B%O museum.a must. Like someone said a local brewery. Union Craft is cool and also Baltimore whiskey are at the Union Craft complex.Most tours are on weekends ,not sure if you are here on the weekends. Other you can go to Guisness  before they change it.

-Go over to Fell’s Point and have a drink at the oldest continuously operated pub “The Horse You Came In On” established 1775 and claims to be the last place Edgar Allen Poe was seen. 

-Eat Bertha’s Mussels

-Visit “The Block” for some entertainment 😉

Bertha's went out of business a couple months ago 

The Block is pretty dismal these days, if you really want to see some nudity there are probably better places.

A couple other breweries: 

   -- Checkerspot probably has the best quality beer in town and it's not far from the ballpark 

   -- In Hamden, where Union Craft is, Nepenthe is another very good brewery 

   -- Peabody Heights in Waverly is on the site where the old Oriole Park was, which burned down in 1944, and is a good brewery too and usually has live entertainment.

   -- Two new brewers have opened up very close to the ballpark, just west of Ravens Stadium, in the past year.  Pickett's and Wico Street.  Wico Street kind of specializes in sour style beers if that is something you like.

   -- Mobtown and Monument in Canton are worth mentioning too, and Diamondback in Federal Hill.

Bertha’s isn’t closed, they are still posting on Facebook and people have pictures eating there 3 days ago.  The Block has been dismal for a long time.

    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
