My 36 Hours in Baltimore

/


It was my birthday this week so I took myself to Baltimore for a quick 36 hour trip.

For the record, I love Baltimore. I love its grittiness, history, and distinctly different feel from DC. Here’s where I went and what I did:

  • I started at the Sagamore Pendry Hotel in Fells Point. A stay there isn't cheap, but I thought, well... TREAT YO'SELF. The hotel has a beautiful lush interior courtyard and a sick pool right on the harbor. AND THEY LEFT A BIRTHDAY CUPCAKE AND CARD FOR ME IN MY ROOM!

  • For dinner, I really wanted Italian food, so we headed to Dalesio’s for dinner in Little Italy. (FYI, lots of restaurants in that part of town were closed on Monday & Tuesdays, so we didn’t get to try my first choice, but this place did the trick and I got my fix of garlic bread, fried calamari, and pasta.

  • Afterwards, we went to The Rockwell in Fells where they have Tuesday night karaoke and is a stone’s throw from the hotel (no long stumble home this time!) They have a photo booth which made my night :)

  • The next day I checked out some real estate listings because you know, that’s what I do (and holy whoa, I saw some awesome places for a fraction of what they’d cost in DC. Cue me thinking about buying a place there…

  • Midway through showings I had lunch at the oldest pizzeria in Baltimore, Matthew’s Pizza in Canton. The pizza is amaaazing.

  • Then I hopped up to Hampden to see some more homes and to take a walk down The Avenue where I checked out all of the super fun and cute shops and as if I hadn't eaten enough already, to grab some tasty ice cream at The Charmery

  • Last stop was at my favorite Baltimore spot for funky photos, Graffiti Alley where I checked out what new art had popped up since my last visit.
