Guidebook for Baltimore
Food Scene
Baltimore has lots of great options for food. These are some of our favorites with an emphasis on places close by or worth the drive.
The platters here are delicious, our favorite is the enchiladas verde. They have tacos as well but we'd recommend getting tacos from Tijuana Taco 3 (even closer to the house)!

We were so excited when this place opened. They have the best bagels in the city. Their coffee and other baked goods are all delicious. They've also started offering dinner service which is popular and tasty!

the food here is super delicious (not at all healthy). The portions are huge, we highly recommend the "neighborhood bird" sandwich which is the best fried chicken sandwich. If you like fish, the "tackle box" platter is also really good. There's not much seating so this place isn't great for groups.

Our favorite place for a crab cake or crabs with old bay. There's plenty of outdoor seating for views of the water and Hanover street bridge.
