If you're up for a bit of an uphill walk, this place is incredible for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's incredible soul food with a cajun twist. Very small, might have to wait, so don't go if you're real hungry.

Generally speaking, you can't go wrong with any of they Italian restaurants in Little Italy but we recommend Dalesio's because it's tasty, generally a bit more affordable, and has some good veggie and vegan options.

Some of our favorite Pizza in Baltimore is also on Eastern, but it's a bit of a walk. It's a cool skateboarding themed place made famous from appearing on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, and they deserve it, it's a solid spot. It also has a local bar and games like ski ball and old arcade games, so you can turn into a spot to have a beer or two while you entertain the kids. Also vegan and vegetarian friendly!

Drinks & Nightlife
This place has a really cool vibe. It's like a 20s jazz club in here with great cocktails. It has a separated cigar room for those who partake, but it's very sealed off so doesn't impact those who can't stand smoke.

Go here for only these reasons: Drink, watch sports, play darts, shoot pool. Place is called "Benders" for a reason, they don't serve food and they don't even have limes for drinks, this is a true dive. But it's an awesome neighborhood dive. Not exactly "family friendly."

Hate to promote a Hotel, but this one has some really classy spots. Cool but expensive bar in the lobby and pool bar that is right out on the water and open to the public. This is great hotel, don't get me wrong, but beat the system by staying with us and going there to enjoy some drinks!

Sightseeing
The Water Taxi is a great way to see the harbor without need to rent an expensive boat. And it's practical if you want to go check out Fed Hill or Locust Point. While Landing 1, shown here on the map is walking distance, there's one even closer- Landing 11, that does not show up on the map!

Essentials
While there are markets around to buy some foods, your best bet for full groceries is Whole Foods, which does have a parking garage but is also walking distance. If you want a cheaper option, there's a Safeway if you head West on Eastern, going into Canton.

Stock up on all your booze here, great selections and reasonable prices! They also have a fun loophole where they are considered a bar so they can sell alcohol really late into the night... depending on what you're into.
