This free museum began with a single painting in 1914 and has grown to more than 95,000 works, including the largest holding of Henri Matisse in the world. But if you’re short on time, start in the Cone Wing. Sisters Etta and Claribel began amassing their considerable collection of mod-

ern art in the early-to-mid 20th century and left it all to the museum in 1949.

The assemblage includes iconic Matisse works like “Blue Nude” and “Reclining Blue Nude” (above, left). In mild weather, the sculpture garden sets a calming stage for reflection. Among the 34 impressive pieces

Game Plan

CHEERS!

When it opened in 1992, Oriole Park at Camden Yards set a new standard for urban, baseball-only stadiums, and it remains one of the majors’ most beloved fields. Here are nine innings of tips to make your visit a home run.

(FACING PAGE) ©TODD OLSZEWSKI; (THIS PAGE, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP) ©TODD OLSZEWSKI (2); ©MOLLIE RYAN

PHOTO CREDIT

FIRST Be sure to get to your seats in time for the national anthem.

Fans yell “O!” as the performer sings, “O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave.” The shout-out is a tribute to both the team and the lyrics that were penned in Baltimore’s harbor by Francis Scott Key. SECOND A relic from the site’s rail-yard days, the circa 1900 B&O Warehouse is the stadium’s signature backdrop. Stroll inside to sample a baseballthemed beer (Wild Pitch Wheat, Rain Delay Dempsey’s taps

IPA) at Dempsey’s, named for an Orioles catcher, or shop for gear at the team store.

THIRD Walk along Eutaw Street, between the warehouse and the stadium, and look down at the plaques showing where homers landed.

In a game, no one’s ever hit the warehouse—432 feet from home plate down the right field line.

FOURTH Grab a bite at Boog’s BBQ, operated by legendary first baseman Boog Powell. Pit beef, a Baltimore specialty, is the focus, and as the lines prove, Boog does it right. You might even spot the big man himself behind the counter or working the crowd.

FIFTH Stand in the Flag Court, and watch the game from above the right field scoreboard. Flags for each American League team are flown in order of the current divisional standings.

SIXTH If the children are getting antsy, take them to the Kids’ Corner, featuring a moon bounce, speed pitch and batting cage. After Sunday games, kids under 14 can run the bases.

SEVENTH Return to your seats for a sing-along version of “Thank God I’m a Country Boy.” The team started playing the Eutaw Street crowds

John Denver tune in the 1970s, and it’s been a seventh-inning staple ever since.

O’s in action

EIGHTH Ascend to the Roof Deck, overlooking center field. You need a ticket to sit in one of the seats, but anyone is welcome to stand and watch the game on the field or on one of the full-service bar’s TVs. NINTH When the game’s tight, often there’s action in the bullpens, where the relief pitchers warm up.

Along the railing above them, fans line up for great views of 90-mileper-hour fastballs that pop into the catcher’s glove. Nearby, Orioles Legends Park displays statues of six greats, including Cal Ripken Jr. and Frank Robinson.

EXTRA INNINGS At Pickles Pub, in the shadow of the stadium, savor a beer (or two) and celebrate a win, or drown your sorrows and proclaim, “We’ll get ‘em tomorrow!”

Locals love not only their teams but also the sports bars that toast them.—BS Pickles Pub Next to Camden Yards, this longtime fave draws rowdy crowds on game days.

TRY: The Oriole Dog, a footlong hot dog with, yes, PB&J and cream cheese (served outside on game days); the namesake pickles, fried in beer batter GO: 520 Washington Blvd.

Frank & Nic’s More upscale, this friendly spot about a block from Camden Yards also offers outdoor seating.

TRY: Mussels, steamed with Old Bay seasoning and Natty Boh beer GO: 511 W. Pratt St. Looney’s Pub In Canton, the Irish-accented corner bar has pool, arcade games, trivia nights and T-shirts that say “Drink like a champion today.”

TRY: Hot (temperature and spice) crab dip; wings a dozen ways GO: 2900 O’Donnell St. Mother’s Federal Hill Grille For Ravens home games, fans head to its Purple Patio, a parking lot turned “football field” outfitted with bars and a grill.

TRY: The Heart Attack burger, cheese-stuffed and deep-fried (featured on “The Today Show”) GO: 1113 S. Charles St. Turp’s The only sports bar in elegant Mount Vernon, it’s got the requisite TVs and makes its home in a historic brownstone.

TRY: O’s, onion rings with spicy mayo; Johnny U(nitas), grilled chicken breast on sour dough GO: 1317 N. Charles St. For more information: wheretraveler.com

Baltimore Your Way UNIQUE TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS, FIT TO MATCH YOUR PERSONAL STYLE. FIND THE CITY CURATED FOR YOU AT WHERETRAVELER.COM/BALTIMORE.

Outdoors Enthusiast

Romantic

Family Traveler

With a bustling waterfront and walkable neighborhoods, Baltimore has plenty to offer outdoorsy types. In (1) Little Italy, locals head outside for friendly games of bocce (above) and cultural celebrations like Cinema al Fresco (Fridays, July-August) and the Madonnari Arts Festival (Sept.

30-Oct. 2). At the Inner Harbor’s Pier 1, history buffs climb aboard the historic ship (2) USS Constellation for a hands-on glimpse into the lives of Civil War-era sailors. Walkers get a dose of local architecture and history with a guided tour on (3) Baltimore National Heritage Area trails.

In lovely (1) Mount Vernon, couples stroll among gardens and Gilded Age mansions, just as F. Scott and Zelda once did. They also climb up the (original) Washington Monument (above) for citywide views and a smooch. Find inspiration from another literary mastermind at (2) Annabel Lee Tavern, which is adorned with lines from its namesake love poem, Edgar Allan Poe’s last. Celebratory duos may have to order ahead for a tiered confection at (3) Charm City Cakes (wedding cake, anyone?), but share cupcakes—and sweet nothings—from the gift shop.

Charm City’s playful personality means tons of kid-friendly activities around town. (1) Urban Pirates offers families 90-minute cruises in the Inner Harbor, where they play buccaneer with costumes and interactive activities (think water cannons). At (2) The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, there are lions, cheetahs and polar bears but also reticulated giraffes, which visitors of all ages can feed.

At (3) Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!, little ones marvel at a mini Hogwarts Castle made entirely of toothpicks (above) and find their way through a giggle-inducing mirror maze.

“At the Prime Rib, it’s always 1965 – the year it opened. The leopard-print dining room looks like George Steinbrenner’s private club. The waiters wear tuxes. You wear a jacket. And the kitchen roasts the majestic prime rib, on the bone, its collar of fat suffused into the inner layer, the core of rose red, all of it giving off the intoxicating aroma of old money.”
