Read our top reasons why we love the Downtown Baltimore Neighborhood.
Location
Downtown Baltimore is the heart of the city and in very close proximity to anywhere you would want to go. Sports games, restaurants, shopping, and museums are all in walking distance, and if not, Downtown is centrally located making any commute fairly easy. If your destination of choice is not downtown, not to worry, the city’s main highways are nearby and it’s public transportation system is extremely easy and convenient. Not only is Downtown Baltimore’s location within the city great, but it is in driving distance to places such as Washington DC, Annapolis, Virginia, and New York, just to name a few! With a Walk Score of 98 and a transit score of 91, Downtown Baltimore is a “walker and rider’s paradise”.
Weather
If you are a lover of the four different seasons, the weather of Baltimore can’t be beat. Throughout the year, Maryland has hot and sunny summer, crisp and colorful spring and fall, and snowy winters. The changing of seasons is always beautiful, and with each season comes different activities and ways to spend your time: cheer on the Baltimore Ravens in the fall and the Orioles in the spring, bundle up and ice skate at the Inner Harbor’s outdoor rink, and enjoy a boat cruise through the Inner Harbor during the summer months. Maryland’s four seasons weather is great, and Downtown Baltimore is full of various ways to enjoy each season.
Dining
The amount of noteworthy dining options Downtown is overwhelmingly amazing. Countless restaurants and bars, all in walking distance, occupy the city and have created quite the foodie scene – Zagat named Baltimore number two on their “The Top 17 Best Food Cities of 2015” list. Aggio, a fine dining establishment in the Inner Harbor, serves some of the best Italian food in the neighborhood. The Caesar Salad and Lasagna are must orders. B & O American Brasserie is located in the historic Baltimore and Ohio Railroad headquarters. While their menu changes regularly, it always features local ingredients. The Sunrise Wrap and the Cassoulet Skillet are both fan favorites off of the brunch menu, and the Crabcake is a classic Maryland dinner dish that B & O has mastered.
