The neighborhoods around ottobar are plenty safe. Look at Airbnbs in Remington and Charles village.

If you are looking for a place to walk around that is peaceful, West Covington Park is usually dead during the day and there is a lot of space to walk around and some great smells.

There’s a former church in Medfield with a huge yard. Not an official doggie playground, but lots of neighbors use it as one.

I do fuck with neat architecture.

Oh man, I didn't even think about parking. That's a solid reminder, thanks!

Ooo, we do like Mexican food. I didn't want to be the tourist asking for the food spots, but glad I got a recommendation.

Hotel Indigo Downtown is really nice. Has a good hotel bar that stays open late. And the neighborhood it is in, Mt. Vernon is not only cool but walkable, has restaurants, museums, coffeehouses, and neat architecture. It's close to Ottobar too.

They're offering it tonight starting at 4 pm if you're still interested. Be sure to order early. They run out sometimes.

Another vote for Sniffspot. In the city there is a fenced area on Liberty between Baltimore and Fayette that is rarely used. There is a small fenced area in McHenry Row behind the baseball fields that isn’t busy. You can very often find Canton Dog Park empty.

I would second Sniff Spot! We use one in Linthicum called "Urban Oasis"which has been wonderful! Totally private, large fence, and it's turf and has agility equipment available. Good luck with your pup!

Plenty of decent hotels in the city, but unless you have plans to hang out in Baltimore City on Wednesday. I would probably stay at a suburban hotel near Airport or off Route 100 - you will be out of the city already on Wednesday morning to start your trip back. Also, I don't know what parking costs are at the downtown Baltimore hotels, but the suburban hotels will have free parking.

A "D" is considered passing?? 👀

If you enjoy Mexican food, be sure to check out Clavel, just down the street. It’s quite good.

Thanks, you’re the real mvp

Sniff Spot for sure! It’s been a lifesaver. People rent out their yards, basically.

But I also don’t have a fenced in yard. I got a long line that I either wrap around a tree or a stake that goes in the ground. That way she can still run, but I know she won’t go anywhere.

I personally haven’t had any luck finding empty dog parks, but I live in northeast so the closest ones are in the county and you have to register your dog and pay annually for those.

Close to Brooklyn, it's south of cherry Hill right near the Baltimore Highlands light rail stop.

There’s a fenced soccer field between Baltimore and Lombard and broadway and Caroline. We took our dog we got at BARCS a week ago. She had fun running.

60lb dog with behavior problems and no yard. sounds like you can probably drop it right back off at barcs.

Another vote for Josh, love their work!

Is that in Brooklyn? I’ve also been looking for a nice spot to let a foster dog off leash.

I also recommend Sniffspot!

Southwest area dog park in south Baltimore is usually pretty empty and has two fenced areas so you can just tell anyone that comes up that your dog needs space. Also overlook dog park in linthicum heights is better attended but has three separate fenced areas so you should be able to get some space there. Also if you don't mind paying for it, sniffspot lets you rent people's yards to play in.

My partner and I have a reactive rescue dog, and we have found that taking her to dog parks at off times - early AM or later at night there usually aren’t dogs there depending on the park. We also use the sniff spot app - it allows you to rent someone’s backyard for an hour. You do have to pay for it, but it’s pretty cheap and one way to make sure there aren’t other dogs around

Yeah looks like we go near the airport on our way back and there's tons of household name hotels there, so I'm thinking we may just stay there. Depends how early we arrive / how late we get out of the show. Thank you!

For what it's worth the person was from Rockville and the other was from somewhere actually in Baltimore. And they weren't like "you gonna die" they were just like "make sure you stay somewhere safe". Like I said, I'm not too concerned but if asking a question is all it takes, may as well haha.

Sounds like a solid suggestion as well, thanks!
