Your experience
Stop 1
Baltimore's oldest public market has stood in Fells Point since 1786, and tucked inside it is a Polish deli that locals have leaned on since 1985.

Stop 2
You cannot understand Baltimore without the blue crab. At a harbourside seafood spot you'll taste a proper Maryland crab cake, the local benchmark: sweet lump crab meat, barely any filler, the way the city has made it for generations. What you'll taste: Maryland crab cake
