Do you guys like baseball? Os will be at home for long stretches of May, and Camden Yards is considered to be the most beautiful modern park in the MLB.

You mentioned cheap being a plus, Os have one of the lowest game-day costs in the league, thanks to low ticket prices and a very friendly outside food and drink policy

Taki's Carryout Restaurant, or on the sign out side, Taki's Pizza. Which oddly, sells no pizza. But go there, get the breakfast combo for under 5 bucks. Add onions to the potatoes. And I swear to God, if you hipsters start making this place busy, I'll be upset at you. But I'd be happy for the owners, Tina and Mo. Who are just the most loveable owner duo.

PS: buy your lotto tickets there. They get like 1% of the winnings.

My husband is turning back around from Penn Station right now due to this issue. He was supposed to give an important presentation in DC today. Bummer. At least he can still get dialed in, but he said it won’t be the same. Wish we had seen this news sooner!

I’d highly recommend searching the Baltimore subreddit for “things to do in Baltimore”. There’s about a hundred posts and it saves us time from restating things we’ve already said.

Same with safe neighborhoods, places to eat, best dive bars, etc. there have been some really great discussions even in the last couple days I think would really benefit you!

I’d figure out what part of the city you’ll be in, too, because your close options will differ between Locust Point, Fells Point, Mt Washington, etc. Baltimore isn’t a very connected city - our public transit system leaves a lot to be desired and we’ve got pockets of fantastic neighborhoods that are unfortunately surrounded by blocks I would not walk alone at any hour of the day. That doesn’t mean the whole place in unsafe, just that you should look into the safe neighborhoods. I’d hate to hear someone tried to walk to the Edgar Allen Poe house after sunset 🙃

We’ll be happy to have you! Hopefully you find some good spots
