what kind of bars do you like? are you looking for restaurants or museums or events or what?

- walk down to the inner harbor after the game to watch the fireworks. don't drive...you won't find a place to park.
- the bodies exhibit is in town at the science musuem if you're into that kind of thing.

good places to go out and drink:
- 10 block of east cross st in federal hill: lots of bars, restaurants and market; yuppie crowd.
- thames st/broadway in fells point - shops, restaurants, bars; more diverse crowd.
- odonnel square in canton - bars and restaurants; yuppie crowd.

good baltimore seafood restaurants:
- LP steamers in locust point. hole-in-the-wall crab shack but very baltimorian and delicious. fantastic crabs.
- Nick's Fish House in southern baltimore. has a deck that sits out on the water. good variety of food and a nice place to just sit outside and drink on a summer evening.

Try John Stevens LTD. for a good dinner.

LP Steamers is great.

if you don't mind heading away from the typical bar areas, one of my favorites was always Brewer's Art - Nice restaurant upstairs, hipster basement bar. If you see one of their beers on tap elsewhere, try it for sure (possibly the thing I miss the most about bawlmer)

the aquarium is nice, the zoo is a shithole, the Walters art museum is classy.

If you see a Citypaper, it's like the Indy here, only better.

agreed on brewers art. pretty much across the st from b. art is the belvadere hotel. on the top floor theres a bar called "13th floor" which gives you a great view of the skyline. they typically have some live music playing there as well. we'll go eat dinner and brewers art and then eventually make our way to the 13th floor.

sober put me on to LP Steamers last year...that place is incredible. hands down one of the more authentic crab shacks in the area

also there's a sports bar/restaurant type place in federal hill, i think it's called fosters, that has old bay wings. it sounds gross at first, but they are absolutely delectable..its a couple streets back from Light

completely worth going there for if you like wings
