It depends what you are looking for in a hotel. The Pendry is a swanky property and smack in the middle of Fells Point but quiet when you’re inside. It was the former police station featured in the tv series Homicide. The Hilton Harbor Point is where CindyLou’s Fish house is located. Its also called the Canopy Hotel and has free bikes to explore the area. It’s a newer hotel overlooking the water and well located in Harbor East toward Fells Point. The restaurant and bar are nice.
Bygone at Four Seasons is a rooftop bar in Harbor East. Henderson Wharf is very nice and quiet but still well located in Fells Point.

The other option is staying in Harbor East and walking into Fells Point. Both are nice areas. Harbor East may be preferable but both areas are nice. Harbor East hotels to consider are the Marriott Waterfront and Four Seasons.
A good property that’s well priced is the Courtyard by Marriott but no bar.

Consider the Elk Room for a great bar

Harbor East has Charleston and CindyLous Fish House that’s right on the water. There’s also Little Italy by the Inner Harbor with good Italian food and Vaccaros for dessert and gelato. Take in great jazz at Keystone Korner in Harbor East. Helmand is a short distance from the Inner Harbor for Afghan food.

Just noting that you’re not getting many comments about places to drink between Rams Head Live and Harbor East where you’re staying bc there’s not really any pubs/bars/cafes/restaurants between these two points. It will make more sense once you’re here.

Good places by the Power Plant where Rams Head is and in Harbor East but not between them.

Also scooters are a good way to get around if you want a faster and same scenic views to get to and from Ram Head Live.

Yes, it’s a safe walk. You can walk along the water which is what the person mentioning Pier 5 was suggesting. You’re staying in a great location with fantastic water views and walks.

Outside your hotel is the brick walkway that runs along the harbor. You can literally walk on that path and see different parts of Baltimore. One direction takes you to Fells Point and Canton. The other direction takes you to the Inner Harbor and around Rash Field to Harbor Point. They’re all nice walks and safe. The water taxi is also right outside your hotel for a way to see the city from the water.

For drinks consider Bygone at the Four Seasons Hotel right by your hotel. It’s on the top floor with great views.

You’re staying in Harbor East with lots of nice shops and restaurants. Little Italy is close by for Italian food and Vaccaros Italian Pastry for great desserts and gelato. Fells Point is walkable along the harbor.

Great jazz at Keystone Korner if you’re in town for more than one night.

You’re set for a great weekend!

Sounds like you made up your mind Six Flags

Best school trip we did was a tour of the freedom trail in Baltimore. Went to a historic black church and saw the underground railway in the wall.

Toured Baltimore from the African American historical experience and then ended at the Inner Harbor. Fascinating way to see Baltimore

It’s hilly and pretty and relaxing but not that difficult. If you want challenging hills, then do the Jones Falls Trail from the Woodberry Apartment on Coldspring Lane back towards Cylburn Arboretum. It’s a constant uphill trail for quite awhile.
It’s also a trail and nice but more along the road compared to the less hilly path that’s besides the trees behind the zoo.

Reply to Anyone else still having power issues? by StuntFace

We’re out in Pikesville. Affects only 6 houses. No idea why we lost power. Not seeing any trees or lines down. Been out since 7pm Friday night. No crews assigned yet but BGE’s site states supposed to get power back by 11pm Christina Day.

Big issue is that of the 6 homes most are people over 75 years old with significant health issues. This happened in July to the same 6 homes. Back then it was a tree fell on a roof. Major home damage but fortunately no physical injuries.
Took a huge toll on that homeowner. It takes a big toll on these people, who are trying to age in place and stay in the community.
The issue needs to be addressed more to make it possible for people to age in place well.

Reply to Are there any cheap and safe areas around Baltimore County? by elleRN009

It would help to share your budget and other qualities you seek in a neighborhood, such as commuting distance, art/culture, type of neighbor, etc. Why Baltimore County? Must it be Baltimore County when other counties like Howard County can be a close drive to the city or DC?
