P BALTIMORE IS A PLACE OF MANY NICKNAMES and civic slogans, many of which have stuck whether they fit the place or not. Its 19th-century violence earned it the handle “Mobtown.” More recently it was dubbed “Charm City,” which the Visitor’s Bureau probably prefers, and on a good day the place totally lives up to it. “The City That Reads” seems like overkill, even with the rising indie-lit scene, while “The Greatest City in America,” still etched on fading bus benches all over town, is just plain grandiose. The one we like best came off a beer label (National Bohemian, aka Natty Boh), but it rings true: “The Land of Pleasant Living.” And in a way, that’s what this second annual guide to Baltimore from City Paper, its free alternative weekly, is all about: helping you enjoy the city like a native. ’Cause let’s face it, the city’s waterside attractions and megabars and chain stores hold an undeniable allure for many casual visitors, and

for lots of them that’s plenty. But if you’re not here long, or don’t look too hard, you can miss what makes Baltimore such a unique place. Of course, we’ll be the first to admit that looking beyond the gloss and bustle of the Inner Harbor can be daunting. Baltimore faces many of the same problems as other cities built on a now mostly vanished industrial base, including derelict neighborhoods, poverty, and crime. Though the city’s murder rate

dropped precipitously in recent years, it still remains one of the highest per capita in the country. But Baltimore also boasts a host of friendly neighborhoods and cosmopolitan delights and nowhere-else experiences too, and they are as much a fact of life here as any grim news headline. It’d be a shame to miss out. That’s where Baltimanual comes in. While we can’t possibly encompass the ins and outs of every part of town, we can give you the lowdown on a few areas where visitors and locals alike tend to congregate, and with good reason. Yes, there’s the harbor, but venture out from the hotels and promenades due east and you may wind up in the narrow streets of Little Italy, where the local economy runs on red sauce. Continue to meander east along the water

THE LAND OF PLEASANT LIVING and find yourself experiencing the upmarket boomtown of Harbor East, crossing the historic cobbles of Fells Point, or soaking up the nightlife of Canton Square. Move away from the water to the northeast to discover the ethnic saladbowl of the Highlandtown area. Head south from the harbor and the hot and cold running bars of Federal Hill and the sleepy slopes of residential South Baltimore greet you. Head north from the Pratt Street main drag and pass through the grand architecture and vibrant arts of Mount Vernon into the burgeoning subculture hub of the Station North area, and on into the leafy collegiate enclave of Charles Village. Indeed, many Baltimoreans are involved in the ongoing process of discovering and

rediscovering the town from all angles, as indicated by the mix of old Baltimore holdouts and hip spots in neighborhoods such as Hampden and Hamilton.

THIS PAST YEAR, Baltimore’s proved itself quite adept at doing a lot with a little. First, check out the Charm City Circulator, a small network of free bus loops operating within a close-ish orbit of downtown. Operating with all hybrid buses, friendly drivers, and well-marked stops that tell you when to expect the next bus, it’s a home run. And the money for it comes almost entirely from parking taxes, making it a comparative bargain in a city that hasn’t a dime to spare. Note that’s the CCC is Baltimore City’s own operation, and has nothing to do with the Maryland Transit Administration, which operates the rest of the buses in the city. The second thing: cycling improvements. A few years ago, Baltimore was a wasteland as far as cycling is concerned. Now, we having a cycling and pedestrian coordinator in City Hall, a city cycling map, and who knows how many buckets of paint on our streets in the form of new bike lanes and other route designations, like sharrows. All MTA buses now have bike racks;

and, slowly but surely, sidewalks around town are getting racks, some made from retired parking meters. Plans are in the works for a network of bike boulevards, lethal street storm grates are being replaced, and new bike-positive laws are going into effect. Things still aren’t good compared to most bike-friendly burgs, but they’re getting better. Again, for very little cost. That said, the lag in Baltimore as far as getting around goes is still very real. Just an hour to the south and

three hours to the north, we have two of the best subway networks in the world. Here, just one line with an awkward light rail—that at least serves the airport, BaltimoreWashington International (BWI)— complementing it . Baltimore remains a bus town. And with a very high population of carless commuters, buses are a vital way of life here. The MARC is great for Washington, D.C. commuters, but even that involves a fair amount of fumbling. Light Rail: The north-south run-

TRANSPORT

ning light rail skirts the harbor, stops at the sports stadiums, travels up the Howard Street corridor through the University of Maryland medical campus, Maryland Institute College of Art, and then shoots up along the low-density Falls Road corridor before hitting the city’s northern suburbs (not including Towson, however). At the south end, it takes you to BWI or to the Cromwell suburb. Fare checkers are a regular sight. Full fare: $1.60. Day pass: $3.50.

Metro Subway: The Metro starts in Baltimore’s northwest suburbs and its single line swoops into central Baltimore and does an awkward, not-terribly-convenient curve through downtown and ends at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institution campus on Broadway, which isn’t close to much else of note. Many stations are now getting a needed face lift. Full fare: $1.60. Day pass: $3.50. MARC: This is the Marylandbased commuter-rail network.

Baltimore has three stops: Penn and Camden stations and West Baltimore, with service on the Penn Line (service from Penn Station to Washington, D.C.) and the Camden Line (from Camden Yards to D.C.). Delays happen a little too often. Buy your ticket at the station or expect to pay a few extra bucks and get a dirty look from the conductor. Fares from $4-$14. Service MondayFriday only. Buses Around Town: There are basically three kinds: local, run-ofthe-mill buses; commuter buses (city to city/suburb); and express buses (like local, but with fewer stops). Local buses generally run from 5 A.M. to 1 A.M. and cost $1.60 for a one-way ticket and $3.50 for a day pass (express buses are $2 one-way). You won’t find anything especially different in using Baltimore’s bus network than you would find in most American cities, but a few guidelines: routes aren’t clearly marked, always expect your trip to take longer than scheduled, you’ll find more room in the back of the bus, don’t be surprised if a full bus blows by your stop, and the most congested times to travel are between 6 and 9 P.M. The separate Charm City Circulator operates Monday-Thursday 6:30A.M.-9 P.M.; Fr i d ay, 6 : 3 0 A . M . - m i d n i g ht ; Saturday, 9 A.M.-midnight; Sunday: 9 A.M.-9 P.M. Buses Out of Town: Greyhound serves Baltimore at two locations, the Baltimore Travel Plaza off the I-95 beltway (a good hike) and a couple miles south of downtown at a relatively isolated location off Russell Street. A cheaper and frequently more reliable alternative for getting to New York and Philadelphia are the “Chinatown� buses. There are several companies with service to the Baltimore Travel Plaza (multiple companies, Philly and New York), Penn Station (Bolt bus, New York only), and Station Nor th (MVP, New York only). Megabus out of the White Marsh suburb serves Philly and many points in the Northeast. Taxis: Like any other major metropolitan city, taxis in Baltimore can be pretty touch and go. There are several cab companies, and many of them operate vehicles that look like they should be pulled by horses. If you’re worried, grab a taxi

at Penn Station or a downtown hotel, where staff theoretically keep problem cabs away. Some cabs do take credit cards, but never expect it. Bring cash. Driving: Baltimore’s laid out on a grid system, with Charles Street dividing east streets from west streets and Baltimore Street dividing north and south. Getting your directions mixed up is bad. (As in, North Broadway is an entirely different planet than South Broadway.) Major arteries in and out of the city are I-83 (which terminates just east of downtown), Route 40 (technically a highway), and I-395 (connects from downtown Baltimore’s southern portion to I-95). Without a dedicated highway leaving the city to the west and east, you’re basically driving through neighborhoods, meaning traffic that way between 3 and 7 P.M. will be hell. Baltimore has an endemic problem with red-light running, so let your green ripen for a couple of seconds if you can’t see. And be advised that crosswalks/ lights in Baltimore are considered “optionalâ€? by pedestrians. Parking: This is a mess. Some neighborhoods have permits to park, some have free two-hour parking, some have “Smartâ€? meters, some might still have the old coin meters. Lots and garages are scattered throughout the city. Parking enforcement is merciless as well. Have fun with this. Bicycling: With the implementation of an enthusiastic bicycling coordinator at City Hall, this has gotten better over the past few years—more bikes lanes, more “sharrows,â€? more signage, new bike racks, bike racks on buses, trail expansions. That said, drivers in Baltimore are assholes. You will get yelled at even in the best neighborhoods, you will get shit thrown at you, little kids will call you “faggot.â€? As for the dicier neighborhoods, go with your gut. Air: BWI is located about 15 minutes south of Baltimore. Cabs to and from the airport are expensive despite the short distance, so consider taking the light rail (45 minutes) or the MARC (20 minutes). Rail: Amtrak’s northeast corridor serves BWI and Penn Station with connections in Philadelphia, Washington, and New York for all points. â–

BALTIMORE FAIRLY REEKS WITH HISTORY. (OK, OK, when heavy rains churn up the harbor sometimes the city just plain reeks.) Point is, this old burg earns a place along side Boston, New York, and Philly in terms of contributions to the American Experience—waging war, creating beauty, growing wealth, and grappling with national growing pains, from the Civil War to the civil rights struggle. To wit, there are lots of informative, fascinating, and fun things to see and do here. Harborplace (200 E. Pratt St., [410] 332-4191, harborplace.com) Odd that Baltimore had no tourism industry

to speak of until Harborplace opened in 1980, attracting 18 million visitors its first year (eclipsing even Disney

World). The food and shopping pavilions are largely chain-heavy and tired now, but ever since they appeared, civic leaders have been looking for ways to get visitors to branch out beyond this tourist bubble. Baltimore really has more to offer than just another Hooters franchise.

mains a pleasant place to stroll and hosts a number of kid-friendly attractions. It’s also starting point for the Baltimore Heritage Walk, a 3.2mile, self-guided trek linking attractions and historic sites marked with metallic discs implanted in sidewalk.

visitor-center) Here, you can grab a free map and guide book rather than relying on those discs to steer you around. Inquire about the numerous free guided-walking tours that take off from here too. Water Taxi ([800] 658-8947, thewatertaxi.com, $10 adults, $5 kids 10 and under) When you tire of picking up your feet, plant your butt

down in the water taxi, a fun and efficient way to buzz between waterside sights. The World Trade Center (401 E. Pratt St., [410] 837-8439, viewbaltimore. org, $3-$5 for the observation level) watches over the harbor. The 32-story structure is the world’s tallest five-sided building!

factoid either.) And its Top of the World Observation Level gives a nice birds-eye view. The Bank of America Building (10 Light St.) is the city’s handsomest high-rise with its green-and-gilt roof. The defunct Baltimore Trust Company completed it back in 1929—a fateful year that explains why that financial firm is no more. Visit its entrances and lobby if you’re into deco detailing.

Federal Hill Park, the looming verdant mound just south of the Inner Harbor, offers a free, on-high panorama. Throughout the Civil War, Union soldiers pointed cannonry at Baltimore from here, daring the town’s rebel supporters (half the populace or more) to any monkey business. Baltimore Civil War Museum (601 President St.) offers more on that— well, at least it is when the cashstrapped facility is open. The Civil War’s first blood was spilled in Baltimore in April 1861 when trainchanging, southbound Union troops were besieged by Dixie sympathizers in what’s dubbed the Pratt Street Riot. The vestiges of an 1850 train station, however, may have to be appreciated from the outside.

Fort McHenry (2400 E. Fort Ave., [410] 962-4290, nps.gov/fomc/ index.htm) You already know the story of the War of 1812 (fought from 1812-1814, actually): “Oh say can you see . . . bombs bursting in air . . . our flag was still there . . ..� Ring a bell? Maryland lawyer Francis Scott Key penned the poem that would become the national anthem while watching the Brits unsuccessfully attack the star-shaped fort. (An Anglo land assault at North Point was likewise repelled.) Today, the hoary ramparts are overrun only with camera-toting visitors come to enjoy an expansive green space overlooking a harbor side transitioning from heavy industry to pricey condos. The Baltimore Museum of Industry (1415 Key Highway, [410] 727-4808, thebmi.org, $10-$6) honors the city’s rich industrial heritage. Here

you can learn how the city birthed things such as bottle caps, the ice cream industry, and CoverGirl makeup. During World War II, Baltimore’s shipyards churned out slews of Liberty Ships, the so-called ugly ducklings that did yeoman’s work hauling weaponry across the waves. The John W. Brown, (2000 block of S. Clinton St., [410] 558-0646 liberty-ship.com, free, donations welcomed) is one of two operational “ducklings,� is open a couple of days a week, and sometimes even sails. The B&O Railroad Museum (901 W. Pratt St., [410] 752-2490, borail. org, $8-$14) celebrates Baltimore’s status as the birthplace of American railroading. Its cavernous roundhouse and host of heavy-metal machines are a rail buffs’ wet dream, but should impress everyone else as well. Geppi’s Entertainment Museum (301 W. Camden St., [410] 625-7060, geppismuseum.com, $7-$10), is a self-styled, somewhat Boomercentric celebration of pop-culture ephemera: comic books, cereal box giveaways, movie posters, and such. Some will find the sprawling collection really cool. Sports Legends Museum (301 W. Camden St., [410] 727-1539, babe ruthmuseum.com, $4-$12) might be more up your speed, if you tended to beat up comic book readers as a kid. It’s in the same building as Geppi’s (another 1850s train station) and is rife with sweat-stained athletic gear and razzle-dazzle ways to celebrate the state’s sporting greats, such as Johnny Unitas, Cal Ripken Jr., and Michael Phelps. (No, the hunky swimmer’s Speedo is not on display, but you can see one of his medals.) Oriole Park at Camden Yards (333 W. Camden St., baltimore.orioles. mlb.com/bal/ballpark/tours.jsp, tours $6-$9) Unless it’s your team playing the hapless birds, there hasn’t been much to cheer about at Camden Yards. The handsome facility and aged warehouse building launched a thousand neo-

face-to-face with African-American history, from the Middle Passage to Barack Obama.

Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum (203 N. Amity St., [410] 396-7932, eapoe.org, $3) While many towns lay claim to the gloomy Gus who married his 13-year-old cousin (now that’s creepy), the master of macabre lived and wrote at this Amity Street house for a stretch and more importantly, he’s buried here outside Westminster Hall (519 W. Fayette St., [410] 706-2072, westminsterhall.org).

Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture (830 E. Pratt St., [443] 263-1800, africanamericanculture. org, $6-$8) provides a more traditional telling of the black experience.

National Museum of Dentistry (31 S. Greene St., [410] 706-0600, dentalmuseum.org , $3-$7) Depending on your view of going in for dental work, this museum might well be a house of horrors. This Smithsonian-affiliated museum provides an open-wide history of the dental arts, replete with a set of Washington’s false choppers (no, they’re not made of wood). Green Mount Cemetery (1501 Greenmount Ave., [410] 539-0641, greenmountcemetery.com, free) offers history of a more contemplative nature in a sprawling, leafy, 68-acre collection of Victorian funeral art and resting places for the famous and infamous. The later category would include Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth. Or maybe you’d want to try and “communicate” with Elijah Bond, the Baltimore lawyer who patented the Ouija board, who’s buried beneath a headstone that shares an exact likeness of one of his “spirit boards.” Nab a free map and guide at the cemetery office (by the entrance) and be sure to honor the 4 P.M. closing time, lest you be locked in for the night with some 66,000 dead people. The National Great Blacks in Wax Museum (1601 E. North Ave., [410] 563-3404, greatblacksinwax.org, $10-$12) If you consider wax museums cheesy attractions best suited for boardwalks and sideshows this one might change your mind. The museum seriously and skillfully employs over 100 wax figures to help visitors come, uh,

The Baltimore Basilica (409 Cathedral St., [410] 727-3565, baltimorebasilica.org, free), begun in 1806, is the nation’s first cathedral—fitting for the only state founded by Catholics. Free tours daily.

The Lloyd Street Synagogue isn’t much newer, built in 1845, and is now subsumed by the Jewish Museum of Maryland (15 Lloyd St., [410] 732-6400, jhsm.org, $3-$8). The Central Branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library (400 Cathedral St., [410] 396-5430, prattlibrary. org), a handsome 1930s building, is across the street from the Basilica. Display cases within sport a rotating selection of artifacts from its extensive archives, everything from 15th-century printed books to the high school poetic scribblings of the late rapper (and former Baltimore School for the Arts student), Tupac Shakur. Bolton Hill (boltonhill.org) is an ideal destination if you get museumed out and just want to wander about. The classic, genteel Baltimore neighborhood with brick facades and marble steps, was once home to Woodrow Wilson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and other notables. (Houses with famous former occupants sport circular blue explanatory plaques.) Fells Point (fellspoint.us) is another fine wandering place. It’s a once-rowdy old seaport with cobblestone streets, 18th-century houses, and scads of stories. Some of these can be heard on guided GhostWalks (fellspointghost.com, $8-$15). As a final note, Baltimore is home to more than 600 taverns, and about half of them seem to be at the Point. Bottoms up. ■

BALTIMORE’S ARTS COMMUNITY is no longer its secret weapon. Thanks to the recent inception of big money awards for local artists— such the Walter and Janet Sondheim Prize and the Baker Artist Awards, each with a top prize of $25,000—and the international draw of the Transmodern Festival of performance art, the creative ideas and labor of Baltimore’s artists, curators, and enthusiasts have forged an indelible presence in the city. And on some weekends, it feels like everywhere you look something arts-y is going on, from the museums to artist-run galleries, from professional theaters to upstart fringe stages. All survive and thrive in Baltimore’s cultural cauldron.

MUSEUMS American Visionary Art Museum (800 Key Highway, [410] 244-1900, avam.org) This gem of a museum likes to tackle big ideas through the work of ordinary people who happen to make things.

contemporary.org) Baltimore’s most constantly changing local arts institution celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2009, and it commemorated the milestone with more than a year of programming.

Director Amy Eva Raehse runs a top-notch professional gallery that boasts an impressive roster of local female artists, such as Joyce Scott, Jo Smail, and Soledad Salamé. H&H Building (405 W.

The cooperatively run Whole Gallery (3rd floor, wholegallery. blogspot.com) mounts a wide variety of eclectic group shows, while Nudashank (3rd floor, nudashank. com, co-operated by City Paper contributor Alex Ebstein) specializes in energetically curated shows featuring emerging young artists. Gallery Four (4th floor, galleryfour. net) has been based in the building the longest, and continues to solidify its reputation for mounting intelligent, dramatic shows, often featuring some of the more playful artists in the region. Maryland Art Place (8 Market Place, Suite 100, [410] 962-8565, mdart place.org) Formed in 1981, this longrunning arts hub has recently and wisely broadened its programming ideas and community involvement under Executive Director Cathy Byrd, who in just more than a year at the post has become an active participant and presence in local arts, the strength of those ties reflected in the consistency of MAP’s multimedia programming and curatorial ambition.

Mount Royal Ave., [410] 669-9200, mica.edu) The city’s preeminent art school also maintains many on-campus gallery spaces featuring the varied work of its undergraduate and graduate students and faculty as well as impeccably curated touring shows and frequently fascinating exhibitions curated and mounted by its student-powered Exhibition Design Seminar.

Everyman Theatre (1727 N. Charles St., [410] 752-2208, everymantheatre. org) This Station North Arts District staple moves into a gorgeous new downtown home in 2011, so this season is the last to catch one of this vital, often virtuosic company’s productions in its intimate space, such as the Baltimore premieres of Steven Dietz’s Shooting Star (Jan. 19-Feb. 20) or Lydia Diamond’s Stick Fly (March 16-April 17).

Fells Point Corner Theatre (251 S. Ann St., [410] 276-7837, fpct.org) This active community theater launched a new program recently, culling together local talent for evenings of 10-minute plays by local playwrights. 14 Karat Cabaret (218 W. Saratoga St., [410] 962-8565, normals.com/14k. html) The only place in town to catch off-the-map films, performance, poetry, musical shenanigans, and anything else that might flip your wig. A local institution for the ecstatic, the underground, and the just plain unusual. Single Carrot Theatre (120 W. North Ave., [443] 844-9253, singlecarrot. com) Ever since this troupe of young theater grads moved to Baltimore en masse in 2007, Single Carrot has helped ignite the ongoing theatrical activity percolating through Baltimore’s stages, and it delivers another dose of the fresh and new with its 2010-’11 season, which includes Gao Xingjian’s The Other Shore (Dec. 8-Jan. 16) and Paula Vogel’s inventive The Long Christmas Ride Home (March 16-April 17). Strand Theater (1823 N. Charles St. [443] 874-4917, strandtheater company.org) This relatively new company dedicates its energies to mounting and premiering theatrical works by or about women and emerging writers.

Preston St., [410] 752-8558, theatreproject. org) A long-running labor of love thanks to the recent Herculean determination and sacrifice of Director Anne Fulwiler, if it can happen on a stage—drama, comedy, music, avant-garde performance, mime, movement theater, chamber opera, spoken word, ecstatic mash-ups of all of the above—it has found a home and audience at the Theatre Project. Irreplaceable. Vagabond Players (806 S. Broadway, [410] 563-9135, vagabondplayers. org) This Fells Point company bills itself as America’s oldest continuous little theater, and it mounts an often impressively ambitious array of popular plays and musicals over the course of its season. ■

AS HARD AS THE OUTSIDE WORLD HAS TRIED to pin down Baltimore music over the past several years, it doesn’t have a name, a common unifying thread, or one artist or group to hang a label on. If anything, compared to other music hot spots such as Brooklyn or Portland, Baltimore’s strength is its diversity. Yes, Wham City is hot, and everybody knows Dan Deacon by now, but the city is also a garden of homegrown hip-hop talent, the best place in the country to hear improvised music, and home to one of the most powerful street musics (and then some) anywhere, Baltimore club.

History? We have it. Billie Holiday grew up here, returning as the jazz legend we know to perform in clubs on Pennsylvania Avenue. Find a concrete bust of Frank Zappa, another Baltimore original, in Highlandtown. Doo-wop burned brightly in the city’s venues, courtesy of stars such

as the Orioles and the Cardinals. And the city’s experimental DNA runs very deep: Philip Glass once called the city home, decades and decades before the Red Room got its coat of paint. Oh, yeah: Tori Amos got kicked out of the prestigious Peabody Institute.

BALTIMORE IS A CITY OF NEIGHBORHOODS, and dining trends here often settle within geographic areas. Some are obvious, such as Italian in Little Italy and chain restaurants at the tourist-centered harbor. Look to Hampden and Lauraville for funky, earnest purveyors of local farm-to-table and make-your-own products, from charcuterie to ice cream. Midtown offers polished dress-up dates as well as a plethora of ethnic offerings, while Harbor East welcomes hip palates and deepish pockets. Even the ’burbs are diversifying slowly. Ten years ago, folks wouldn’t have thought to venture to Catonsville for authentic Chinese and Indian. Insiders will tell you though, that the best place for crab cakes is usually an old-fashioned dining room where you’re the youngest customer. Here’s a (very) short list of spots to try. $ = ENTREES $10 AND UNDER, $$ = $10-$15, $$$ = $15-$25, $$$$ = $25 AND ABOVE

VISITORS SOMETIMES LAMENT Baltimore’s lack of a “real” nightlife. Thing is, if by nightlife one means just going out drinking, options are abundant, and here in Baltimore, “night” is simply an unnecessary qualifier. For more specific tastes, the selection is admittedly somewhat lacking. But careful perusal will reveal the occasional gem, and it’s a whole hell of a lot cheaper than in nearby “real” nightlife-havin’ cities.

PARTY HARD Charles Village Pub (3107 St. Paul St., [410] 243-1611, cvptowson.com/ down.htm) The venerable CVP isn’t the snazziest spot ever, in fact it’s kinda beat up these days, but drinks

are pretty cheap and the vibe is generally friendly and relaxed. If you have a cheap vinyl allergy, go elsewhere. A decent option, particularly in bar-starved Charles Village. J . A . M u r p h y ’s Ta v e r n ( 1 7 0 3

crowded most nights, even with cheap drinks, a pool table, and friendly service. Daily drink and happy hour specials, and Tuesday is karaoke night. Mount Royal Tavern (1204 W. Mount Royal Ave., [410] 669-6686) What the Tavern lacks in anything relating to pleasing aesthetics it more than makes up for with large portions of bargain-priced booze. Very good bloody marys for the morning after too.

OSCILLATE WILDLY Bourbon Street (316 Guilford Ave., [410] 528-8377, bourbon streetbaltimore.com) A multistory enter tainment complex containing a rock club with local and national acts, a pulsating club room, and a breezy, laid-back rooftop deck with multiple bars and mid-tempo beats. Pick your poison wisely, because each has a separate cover despite a shared point of entry. The Hippo (1 W. Eager St., [410] 5470069, clubhippo.com) A veritable Baltimore institution, as well as an LGBT scene pillar, the Hippo is startlingly cavernous, with a bar area and pool tables in front, and a huge stage area with sprawling dance floor in back, which is sometimes host to drag revues. Friendly bar staff and generally fun crowd. Mosaic (4 Market Place, [443] 4685308, mosaic-baltimore.com) The club arm of the Power Plant Live! complex, Mosaic is about as close to a “real” club as you’re likely to find in Baltimore, complete with surly security, hot bar staff, swanky décor, and even table service. Cover and drink prices aren’t cheap, but not so bad either, and people are usually pretty friendly. DJs are hit or miss. The Ottobar (2549 N. Howard St., [410] 662-0069, theottobar.com) A roomy dual-purpose venue with a stage area featuring a wide range of live acts downstairs, and a large bar/lounge with pool tables upstairs. Drink prices are a bit steep, as are the stairs connecting the

two areas—a true test of motor function impairment.

SOCIALIZE Dionysus (8 E. Preston St., [410] 2441020) Stiff, well-made cocktails, an interesting beer selection, and decent seating options make for a good group hangout spot. If you go early or are lucky, you can snag the denlike sofa/armchair area. Upstairs is another bar, also pretty chill, except when there is live entertainment or a DJ. Grand Central (1001 N. Charles St., [410] 752-7133, centralstationpub. com) Options abound here—dancing or al fresco chilling downstairs, lounging on comfy couches or on the deck upstairs. Almost always crowded, mostly LGBT, and insane on weekends, particularly during warm weather. Hamilton Tavern (5517 Harford Road, [410] 426-1930, hamiltontavern. com) A warm neighborhood bar that is well above average, from the beer selection—including local drafts— to the food—get the fried pickles. It’s become the go-to spot in the Hamilton and Lauraville neighborhoods for good reason. Holy Frijoles (908 W. 36th St., [410] 235-2326, holy frijoles.net) Spacious, laid-back, and generally buzzing with a decent crowd, it’s the type of place you hit when you’re with people you actually want to converse with. Good drinks, but service can be slow when it gets a little busy. Idle Hour (201 E. Fort Ave., [410] 4680357, idlehourbaltimore.com) A bit south of the drunken melee that engulfs the Cross Street section of Federal Hill, Idle Hour is welcoming, relaxed, and usually not too crowded, particularly during the week. Drinks are reasonably priced and both staff and patrons are welcoming. One World Café (100 W. University Pkwy., [410] 235-5777) A vegan restaurant across the street from an elite university no doubt evokes all manner of preconceptions. Wanting to get drunk there probably isn’t

one of them. But One World’s handsome, well-stocked bar, laid back atmosphere, and very capable bartenders make it one of the few appealing tippling destinations in this neighborhood.

PLAY GAMES A l e x a n d e r ’s Ta v e r n ( 7 1 0 S . B r o a d w a y, [ 4 1 0 ] 5 2 2 - 0 0 0 0 , alexanderstavern.com) Aboveaverage food, decent drink specials, and outdoor seating are some nice features here, but don’t miss free Wii, foos, darts, and other drunky fun games upstairs. Dougherty’s Pub (223 W. Chase St., [410] 725-4059, doughertyspub. com) Pretty much the only game in Mount Vernon if you want to play pool, the main area up front is spacious, with a handsome copper and bentwood bar and lots of seating. In the back is a pool room with two tables, which are normally a buck a game. Drink prices have been on the rise, but are still manageable. The crowd is diverse and the food better than average. Looney’s Pub (2900 O’Donnell St., [410] 675-9235) Anchoring Canton Square, Looney’s sports several bars, lots of outdoor seating, pool tables, foosball, TVs out the yinyang, cup-based drinking gamefriendly tables, and decent beer prices. Ropewalk Tavern (1209 S. Charles St., [410] 727-1298, ropewalktavern. com) Although it’s as crowded as anyone would expect a bar right in the heart of Federal Hill to be, Ropewalk is big enough that it won’t take too long to get on one of the many pool tables, even on weekends. There are TVs everywhere and plenty of bars to order from. Spirits Tavern (1901 Bank St., [410] 563-1612) Of the few places left in Baltimore to find a good pick-up pool game, Spirits undoubtedly has the best table—long, fast, and best of all, always free. Some pretty intense Golden Tee action happens here occasionally as well. Diverse, fun crowd, dog friendly.

ENTERTAIN OUT-OF-TOWNERS Blue Hill Tavern (938 S. Conkling St., [443] 388-9363, bluehilltavern. com) So fancy it’s almost bizarre in this part of town, Blue Hill’s interior is pretty no-holds-barred swank, complete with an indoor waterfall acting as a backdrop to the slick bar area. Prices are steep, but drinks are fast and good, even during happy hour and weekend crushes. The Brewer’s Art (1106 N. Charles St., [410] 547-6925, thebrewersart.com) Nationally recognized as a good place to drink, Brewer’s is split into distinct areas—a darkish, cellar-like bar downstairs and a bright, stately one upstairs (plus a dining room in back). Either way make sure to try one of its famous brewed-on-premises beers, but trust us, the alcohol content has a tendency to sneak up on you. The Club Charles (1724 N. Charles St., [410] 727-8815, theclubcharles. com) First things first—you’re not gonna run into John Waters here. However, Club Chuck remains something of an artsy/hipster/film nerd hub, with deco décor, fun staff, and decent drinks. The Charles Theater is across the street, and pre-show loading here is key—even the most inscrutably highbrow drama will be bearable after a few shots. The Owl Bar (1 E. Chase St., [410] 347-0888, theowlbar.com) An airy, handsome tavern in the lobby of the historic Belvedere building, the namesake owls were said to be early warning systems during Prohibition, alerting dirty sinners to hide their drinks before the fuzz closed in. Drinks are a bit pricey but well made and with a decent pour, and the crowd is pleasant but not prone to intermingling. Red Maple (930 N. Charles St., [410] 547-0149, 930redmaple.com) Though the interior is circa early 2000s mid-century modern redux, the place still looks fresh, with cool lighting and lots of comforting wood grain shaped into clean right angles. Crowd is commensurately attractive. Drinks are decent but predictably steep, though service has gotten better recently. ■

BALTIMORE SHOPPING USED TO BE AN OXYMORON unless you wanted antiques or thrift store items. But in recent years there has been a boutique boom, and residents and visitors alike are reaping the benefits. Not that the antiques and thriftscores have gone away—we still have a ton of them—but cool clothes, classy housewares, and excellent accessories are now just as plentiful. There are neat stores tucked into every corner of the city, but Baltimore boasts a few shopping hubs, from quirky Hampden to chic Harbor East. Here are some highlights.

FEDERAL HILL Alliance Comics (904 Light St., [410] 685-0021, alliancecomicsonline.com) will make your inner geek happy. American Apparel (1125 Light St., [410] 244-7260, americanapparel. net) lives here, offering made in the USA clothes for the hip and skinny.

Babe (910 S. Charles St., [410] 2445114, babeaboutique.com) offers flirty dresses, embellished tops, and designer jeans. Book Escape (805 Light St., [410] 504-1902, thebookescape.com) is a treasure trove of used tomes. Couture Closet (1003 Light St., [410] 528-2999, couturecloset-

The Hill Fashion Consignment (1201 Light St., 410-294-8892) has everything from designer labels to mall brands. Whimsy (1033 S. Charles St., [410] 234-0204, whimsyboutique.com) focuses on ruffly tops and swingy dresses for women.

FELLS POINT Another Period in Time (1708 Fleet St., [410] 675-4776, anotherperiod. com) features lots of collectibles and a huge bargain area. The Antique Man (1806 Fleet St., [410] 732-0932, theantiqueman ltd.com) is only open to the public on weekends, but its antique store/carnival feel is not to be missed. Corduroy Button (1625 Thames St., [410] 276-5437) kits your baby out in hip clothes and gear. Cupcake (813 S. Broadway, [410] 522-0941, cupcake-shop.com) has LA Made basics along with higherend tops and dresses. Fashion Attic (1926 Fleet St., [410] 276-0817, thefashionattic.com) is a thrift score noted for its well-curated and organized selection. Green Rider (714 S. Broadway, [410] 522-5857, greenriderusa.com) sells scooters and electric bikes. Killer Trash (602 S.

IT’S HARDLY THE MEASURE of a city, but the place a visitor stays—whether a tourist, Hopkins patient, or drug-runner—offers an immersive impression of the place. And in this realm, Baltimore is growing up. Quickly. In fact, we do alright with hotels and other sleeping places—from the innocuous, cozy downtown hostel to the upmarket-boutique charm of the Hotel Monaco to the giant monument to the generic that is the new downtown Hilton. Here are some of our favorites, a few joints to feel confident in, both in terms of location and that you probably won’t find a body in the closet—or, for that matter, lipstick on the glasses. A few things to keep in mind: Baltimore can be a bear to get around, so plan accordingly. Stay at the Inner Harbor, sure, but if you want some soul uptown, you’ll be walking or taking a bus.

LUX HYATT REGENCY 300 Light St., (410) 528-1234, baltimore.hyatt.com Not exactly the Hyatt from Lost in Translation, but if you’re looking to trade a lot of money for a brand name, here you go. Par for the course in this category. Amenities: outdoor pool, fitness center, pay wi-fi, business center

INTERCONTINENTAL HARBOR COURT HOTEL 550 Light St., (410) 234-0550, intercontinental.com Fancy Euro-style hotel across the street from the Inner Harbor. Walk to the waterfront, National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center, and Federal Hill neighborhood (the relative skip to the latter is nice). Spa services available. Amenities: rooftop health club, indoor pool, convenience store on site.

PLACES TO STAY RENAISSANCE BALTIMORE HARBORPLACE HOTEL 202 E. Pratt St., (410) 547-1200, marriott.com The kinda the place you might recommend to your folks down from New Jersey. Pretty views of the city and the waterfront, super-convenient location within walking distance to all of downtown’s touristy attractions. Amenities: indoor pool, fitness center, pay wi-fi, free shoe-shine service.

BOUTIQUE 1840S CARROLLTON INN 50 Albemarle St., (410) 385-1840, 1840scarrolltoninn.com A stately little inn made from a series of 1840s rowhouses in the borderlands between Little Italy, downtown, and Fells Point, the Carrollton feels a bit like a secret given its center-of-central location. A stones throw from a whole lot of things downtown and beyond. Amenities: free wi-fi, fireplaces in rooms, complimentary full breakfast.

HOTEL BREXTON 868 Park Ave., (443) 478-2100, brextonhotel.com It wasn’t long ago that this building was a rotting shell, but after nearly a decade of redevelopment wrangling, the Brexton is once again open as a hotel. Progress on its cafe/restaurant—and permanent sign—indicate that it’s still something of a work in progress, but patrons have reported that a night in one of Brexton’s 27 rooms is at least on par with biggername downtown digs. Amenities: wi-fi, “European� continental breakfast, wine and cheese reception, afternoon tea, on-site spa treatments.

HOTEL MONACO 2 N. Charles St., (443) 692-6170, monaco-baltimore.com A recent incursion into the city from the boutique-leader Kimpton, the Hotel Monaco sits in the old headquarters of the B&O Railroad—the first railroad in the country. With furious attention to detail, aboveand-beyond service, and a superb restaurant, the Monaco has raised the bar for hotels in the city tremendously. Centrally located between the Inner Harbor and Mount Vernon, making both walkable. Also: ask for a complementary pet goldfish in your room. Amenities: wi-fi, complementary wine hour, pet-friendly rooms, ecofriendly, fitness center.

INN AT 2920 2920 Elliott St., (410) 342-4450, theinnat2920.com Stylish without being pretentious, chic without making you feel underdressed, and it’s stumbling distance from Canton’s bars. This is the sort of B&B that could convince a visitor to check out the Baltimore real estate market. Amenities: wi-fi, breakfast, and parking are all free.

PEABODY COURT HOTEL 612 Cathedral St., (410) 727-7101, peabodycourthotel.com A worthy complement to its stately Mount Vernon digs—if, like the neighborhood, a bit worn around the edges—the Peabody Court features antique furnishings, artwork, and a grand classic hotel lobby. Offers a LGBT Pride Package during Baltimore’s Pride Week. Amenities: Free wi-fi, 24-hour exercise facilities.

Convenient.

Smart.

Affordable.

Meet with success. Spacious meeting rooms, delicious menus, revitalizing breaks and deluxe accommodations for overnight attendees are just a few of the features we’ve put together for your event.

BALTIMORE’S REPUTATION AS THE HOME OF THE SORRIEST TEAM IN BASEBALL tends to overshadow the other sports and recreation opportunities the city has to offer. Diehard fans can still head out to prove their loyalty to the Orioles, but for those in search of local flavor with a more pleasant aftertaste, there are plenty of options. Ravens football is slightly more reliable and occasionally awesome, while duckpin bowling and roller derby can both be enjoyed in the company of cheap beer, a scarce commodity in Stadiumland. For those who prefer their sports alfresco, Baltimore is a good place to get your sea legs. Sailing, kayaking, and rowing classes are regularly offered and tubing is a popular summer activity in the city’s surrounding environs. The city is also chockablock with parks and greenways, though it may not seem so at first. Baltimore’s city parks form a sort of horseshoe, with the largest green spaces tending to hug the periphery. While these ref-

uges from grit and grime may not be fairly distributed, they feature almost enough tennis courts, basketball courts, swimming pools, and skate parks to make up for it. Many of these verdant areas are large enough to provide a peaceful escape well within the city limits, but if the sound of traffic and police helicopters still intrudes on your sense of solitude, numerous state parks, swimming holes, and bike trails are within a short drive.

PROFESSIONAL SPORTS BALTIMORE GRAND PRIX baltimoregrandprix.com As of August 2011, the city will be the annual host of an open-wheel racing festival. Few specifics were available at press time, but the 2.4mile course will be hard to miss: It’s slated to roar down city streets, including those surrounding the Inner Harbor. Not at all dangerous.

THE RAVENS M&T Bank Stadium, 1101 Russell St., [410] 244-8154, baltimoreravens.com This town goes purple in the face during football season and the Ravens, Super Bowl XXXV champions, sometimes really do deserve it. It’s been a decade. Maybe this is our year.

Crown—take place on the third Saturday in May at Pimlico. The event was once notorious for wild partying, complete with “PortaPotty races,” in which contestants were pelted with bottles of beer as they ran across the top of a row of portable toilets.

Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake is a fan; she reportedly once expressed interest in lacing on some skates herself.

DUCKPIN BOWLING This Baltimore fixture is a diminutive version of the game most people know. Played with smaller balls and pins, duckpin makes for a cheap night on the town, especially since most of the venues are BYOB. Patterson Bowling Center (2105 Eastern Ave., [410] 675-1011, pattersonbowl.com) in East Baltimore claims to be the oldest operating duckpin bowling center in the nation. At Hillendale Duckpin Bowling Center (1045 Taylor Ave., [410] 821-1172) you still keep score on paper and Stoneleigh Lanes (6703 York Road, [410] 377-8115, stoneleighlanes.com) has a summer youth bowling camp.

Wander long enough and you’ll come upon densely wooded, littlevisited areas—home to mysterious crumbling park infrastructure and the occasional deer.

GWYNNS FALLS/ LEAKIN PARK

GUNPOWDER FALLS STATE PARK

1900 Eagle Drive, gwynnsfallstrail.org One contiguous parkland with two names, Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park is a sprawling woodland oasis in West Baltimore. Leakin Park is home to the Baltimore Chesapeake Bay Outward Bound Center as well as a nature center, tennis courts, baseball, soccer, and football fields. The Gwynns Falls Trail stretches 15 mostly paved miles through untamed woods and interesting, often overlooked neighborhoods. One of those is Dickeyville, a tiny village within the city with houses dating back to the early 19th century.

dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/ central/gunpowder.asp A network of more than 100 miles of trails and countless opportunities for fishing, tubing, or just dabbling your feet. The Hammerman area includes a swimming beach on the Gunpowder River. And the 41-mile Northern Central Railroad (NCR) Trail—which starts within biking distance of the northernmost light rail stop—is a flat, scenic route that’s great for running or biking.

PATTERSON PARK 200 S. Linwood ave., [410] 2763676, pattersonpark.com This is a South Baltimore success story; long a dangerous, bedraggled remnant of greenery, it has in recent years been restored to its former glory. A lake, an ice rink, a swimming pool, athletic fields and a four-story pagoda that affords a great view of the city are some of the park’s best features. For more information on the above city parks and others, go to: baltimorecity.gov and search “recreation and parks.”

Green lawns made for picnicking, a small bog, and a Victorian mansion also grace the 207-acre property.

THE JONES FALLS TRAIL (410) 366-3036, jonesfalls.org The Jones Falls Trail will eventually skirt the river from Mount Washington south through Cylburn Arboretum and Druid Hill Park and all the way to the harbor. For now, it is just over four miles long. Completed sections include a chunk from Penn Station to the Woodberry Light Rail stop.

ROBERT E. LEE PARK Falls Road and Lakeside drive Just over the city line in Baltimore County, the mostly forested 400acre park contains a small BMX course, winding hiking trails, and Lake Roland. Though the main entrance on Lakeside Drive is temporarily closed, it is still possible to access the park by continuing past Lakeside and looking for legal parking, or try the few spaces available on Woodbrook Lane. And you didn’t hear it here, but the park is very popular with dog-owners, who let their dogs (illegally) off-leash to romp in the woods and water.

STONY RUN TRAIL stonyruntrail.com This North Baltimore trail is a skinny greenway, popular with runners and dog-walkers. This mostly dirt path meanders for several miles along a restored streambed behind some of Roland Park’s tonier homes, from West University Parkway to Northern Parkway.

THE WATERFRONT PROMENADE waterfrontpartnership.org While not technically a park and fairly devoid of greenery, the Waterfront Promenade is a pleasant place for a long walk or run. It skirts the harbor for more than six miles, passing by

luxury condos, marinas, and historic neighborhoods alike.

WATER SPORTS BALTIMORE ROWING CLUB 3301 Waterview ave., (410) 3555649, baltimorerowing.org Novice rowers of all ages can take classes, and even test their new skills in a regatta.

THE CANTON KAYAK CLUB 801 Lancaster St., (410) 625-1700, cantonkayakclub.com The club offers lessons, and has more than 60 kayaks at six docking locations around the harbor.

CITY SWIMMING POOLS Get your swim in while you can. The 2010 pool season was brief—June 26 to Aug. 8—and 2011’s may be as well. But there are many pools to choose from and the price—from $1 to $1.50—is right. The newly revamped Roosevelt Park pool in Hampden is a good bet, as are the Patterson and Druid Hill park pools. For more information on city pools, go to: baltimorecity.gov and search “pools.”

THE DOWNTOWN SAILING CENTER 1452 Key Highway, Suite 110, (410) 727-0722, downtownsailing.org Take sailing lessons in the Inner Harbor and then become a member so you can take a boat out on your own.

SWIMMING HOLES Several nearby quarries have been converted into what locals call “swimming holes.” Be forewarned: These are not secluded ponds with quaint rope swings. The beaches tend to be packed, and entry fees, concession stands, and game rooms are par for the course. Oregon Ridge Beach is in Cockeysville (13401 Beaver Dam Road, [410] 887-1817, baltimore countymd.gov), as is the Beaver Dam Swimming Club (10820 Beaver Dam Road, [410] 785-2323, beaverdam swimmingclub.com). For a more rustic experience, try Rocks State Park (dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/ central/rocks.asp ) in Harford County. Numerous swimming holes of the old-fashioned variety dot Deer Creek, and the Falling Branch wilderness area features a deep natural pool and high craggy rocks to plummet off of. ■

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine (2400 E. Fort Ave., [410] 962-4290, nps.gov/fomc) might seem like an attraction for older kids who are into history or playing soldier, but the old earthen ramparts and grassy expanses make for excellent running-around for almost any kid.

that?), but it really is a whole new ballgame. Where young single types see chic shops and hip restaurants, parents see thousands of dollars in potential breakables and a vast chicken-nugget desert. Which isn’t to say mom and dad don’t like to have fun, but that’s for when the sitter comes. If you have a rugrat or two to entertain during waking hours, here’s Baltimore in brief.

The Maryland Science Center (601 Light St., [410] 685-2370, mdsci. org, $11.95-$18.95) can’t boast the renown or the physical impact of the National Aquarium, but then there is that dinosaur in the front window.

The Maryland Zoo (1876 Mansion House Drive, [410] 396-7102, marylandzoo.org, $10-$16) is not the San Diego Zoo; it has trimmed back on exhibit space and animals in recent years. But the 2-year-old elephant Samson and a number of revamped exhibits have given the

place a boost, and the shady, hilly trails remain one of the best strolls in town, giraffes or no. (The zoo is closed in January and February.) The National Aquarium (501 E.

But you should definitely get tickets ahead of time, either online or early in the day, especially on summer weekends. Port Discovery (35 Market Place, [410] 727-8120, portdiscovery.org, $12.95) is a children’s museum with a special emphasis on kinetics, aka, climbing, jumping, and running around. There are all manner of exhibits and theme areas here, but the three-story climbing structure makes it every parent’s best rainyday friend.

Baltimore is blessed with two enormous multi-use parks, conveniently located on the city’s east and west sides: Patterson Park (pattersonpark.com) and Druid Hill Park (druidhillpark.org), respectively. Each has playing fields, tennis courts, and play/exercise equipment spread around their acreage, but each is worth exploring for its surprises (the Patterson Park pagoda, the Druid Hill reservoir) too. Don’t overlook historic Federal Hill Park. That’s kind of a joke, because you can’t miss it—it’s that big grassy ziggurat on the south side of the Inner Harbor. Anyway, there’s a big playground on top with fabulous views, and who doesn’t love rolling down a ginormous hill? Irvine Nature Center (11201 Garrison Forest Road, Owings Mills, [443] 738-9200, explorenature.org) isn’t necessarily a visitor destination, but if you happen to be in the northeastern suburbs it offers a pleasant afternoon of woodsy fun

with a cool new nature center and several gentle trails. Oregon Ridge Park (13401 Beaver Dam Road, Cockeysville, [410] 8873678, baltimorecountymd.gov) to the north of the city, offers all manner of outdoor experiences. Take one fork in the road on entering and you come to a large playground and grassy fields. Take the other and you wind up at the park’s nature center, located at the head of several hiking trails and right by a swimming beach nestled in a former quarry. The Scrap Tire Playground (Patapsco State Park, Ellicott City, [410] 4615005, dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/ central/patapsco.asp) outside Baltimore to the west, is a bit of a local secret. In the middle of a state park picnic area sits a large playground built mostly from recycled truck and car tires. Big fun. Our Playground at Stadium Place (900 E. 33rd St., stadiumplayground. org) is the best playground in town. Tucked away behind a YMCA building near the leafy Charles Village and Waverly neighborhoods, it’s a sprawling affair of catwalks and castle towers and climbing areas and swings. There are usually other kids and parents around. Not much in the way of shade, though, so bring water and sunscreen in hot weather.

TOY STORES Amuse Toys (1623 Thames St., [410) 342-5000, amusetoys.com) If you’re visiting, chances are you’ll be in Fells Point, and if you are, you’re only a few cobbles away from Amuse Toys, where the focus is less on glorified Happy Meal tiein stuff and more on toy classics and educational playthings. Barston’s Child’s Play (Village of Cross Keys, 86 Village Square, [410] 435-0804) occupies a small space in an upscale shopping plaza, and said space is absolutely crammed with toys and games and books and art supplies and dolls—something for everyone, somehow. Shananigans Toy Shop (Wyndhurst Village, 5004-B Lawndale Ave., [410] 532-8384, shananiganstoyshop.com) is the stop for local toy connoisseurs (the kid kind, not the Japanese-toy-obsessed-grown-up kind), its small stock is specially selected by toy fans for maximum surprise. â–
