I’ve heard they’re also going to do crabs, which has been a Hampden blindspot for a while.

Best in Hampden, easily. Best in the city, I’m happy to debate on behalf of. Love that place.

It's been one of the best "remote working" spaces in the area, I think. Ample seating, fast internet, (for now has) great coffee, and the nicest bathrooms around.
But yeah, I never find myself thinking to pop over there on a weekend.

Reply to Fells point seafood bar by seanrok
When was this? Long ago?
Thames Street has the order card, but definitely isn’t a dive.
Duda’s is kind of a dive, but doesn’t have the order card.
Meanwhile only place I’ve seen serve actual crabs around there lately was Riptide.

1919 has music some nights too - check out their FB page for details. Also just a gem of a bar in Fells in general.

Reply to comment by sxswnxnw in Housing near Hopkins Hospital? by RiskEcstatic8264
The main benefits of the buildings near campus are the quick commute to school, and being so close to many of your classmates. That said, there’s not a ton to do other than school and seeing those classmates when you’re in that general vicinity.
If you’re looking for more of the walk around and get coffee, or go to a park, or even potentially walk to a grocery store kind of lifestyle, then I echo the commenter above’s recommendation about looking at the shuttle routes. For instance, there’s a direct shuttle from Hampden (Keswick Building) to Bloomberg’s front door.
The Metro also runs through some of downtown right to Broadway (Hopkins Hospital) so that opens some more neighborhoods up as well.
Many students and staff also live in Patterson Park and Upper Fells, which can be walkable on nice days or are just quick bikes/scoots otherwise. There’s another shuttle that goes through those neighborhoods but I don’t have firsthand experience with it to give much detail.

Reply to Potentially moving to Baltimore by psychissick
I’d think of it this way: what do the two cities have in common, and where can I tilt the scales.
Both cities do seafood well. Both have a lot of bars where you can meet people at the various schools in the region. Both have high concentrations of schools so there are a lot of young people around.
Here’s where they differ, however:
Boston is close to NYC prices; Baltimore absolutely is not. Boston is on the far end of the Amtrak corridor (can only really go down to NYC) while Baltimore is more central (can go to Philly or DC equally easily); Boston has an insufferable accent, Baltimore… ah, Nevermind. In all seriousness, Boston has a moderate crime issue while (some neighborhoods in) Baltimore have more serious crime issues.
Long story short I think it just boils down to: Baltimore is more affordable and you’ll have an easier time being an adult here with your own space than you will in Boston.

Yep, had that done a couple months ago actually. From the time I pulled up to when I drove off again was like 20 minutes.

I sold my house in Wyman Park last year to a guy who was the only one of our offers to actually visit it. We got other offers from a ton of DC/NYC folks who just bid off the online listing. It’s nuts out here!

Reply to comment by N4zdr3g in How safe is this walk? by Poopybutt05
Dang! I hope you’re recovered. I heard about that case at the time and it rattled everyone.
To OP, for a route, if it’s at night, I’d recommend walking Keswick down to where it turns into Sisson, then make a left on 28th and a right on Howard til you get close to the place on 22nd. Those are busy corridors at most hours of the day, so a lot of people around.
My understanding of a lot of those teens’ activity is they were targeting people in more isolated stretches near Wyman Park Drive. But like this commenter above said, I haven’t heard of any recent incidents.
