DBAHO Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Headed there on Saturday for the day to check it out. What are the best things to do around town (besides obviously check out the Baseball Stadium if I get a chance)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Ask around for Avon Barksdale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 shoot yourself from the boredom? Curse the fates that caused you to be there? TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Just go to the Pier area,anything outside of that is AWFUL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 The National Aquarium Inner Harbor the Original ESPN Zone is there. Only been there once and it was 10 years ago or so now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Fort Worth is pretty cool but I dont know if you are into US history being an Aussie and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) The aquarium is awesome, as is Camden Yards. The inner harbor is basically the only area to check out, unless you really want to be mugged. If you go to the ESPN Zone, expect a long line. Last time I was in Baltimore the wait would have been 3 hours just to get in. Edited March 5, 2009 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Dessert at Vacaros is a MUST. Lots of good Italian food. I went on a tour of Betsy Ross' house and that was cool. Johns Hopkins is a lovely campus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Love the responses so far. Well it's either this, or go to Atlantic City on Saturday Night. Since the Bus was only $10 return for NY to Baltimore, I can easily go to AC instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I live here, I'm not a big fan of Baltimore really. There are touristy things to do downtown and all, like the harbor, and some seafood restaurants. Other than that not much. I'd go to AC personally, or if you're really into tourist type stuff ride the extra 40 minutes down to DC. Baltimore's just an average American city imo.

lostfan Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 But if you do come here let me know so we can get a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was near the Harbor, Jason will remember he was there too. I think that was where Jason was chased by a bunch of bee's LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually went to DC last weekend for the day. Figured I wouldn't start a thread about it, since I already knew what I wanted to see down there (the Memorials, the White House etc.). No sightings of Jack Bauer or General Juma though unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggliopipe Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 If you do go, check out The Brewer's Art. Fantastic restaurant in a decent enough neighborhood and they've got some outstanding brews, specifically the Resurrection Ale. I've been there twice and it's been great both times. I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend it. Second on Brewer's Art. Well done Belgian-style beers, including a very nice seasonal wit. Cool old refurbished building as well.
