Standard Food Tours visit up to 4 stops during a 3 hour tour.

Food Tour vs Dine Around vs Progressive meal

A Dine Around visits fewer restaurants during the event (2-3 stops) with more food, often several courses at each place. A Dine Around is more customizable; we can set start time, theme, day, neighborhood, transportation, and alcohol pairings to your needs. In addition, we run Dine Arounds for up to 400 people.

A Progressive Dinner is a more traditional way to try several restaurants. Instead of dishes at each place, guests enjoy an appetizer at one stop, main course at another, and dessert at the final place.

Fleet Week sails into Baltimore: Here’s what you should check out

Ships, planes and people have descended upon the city as part of Maryland Fleet Week and Baltimore Flyover , which officially kicked off this week and runs through Tuesday.

The free event celebrates Navy and other military service members and gives people a chance to tour modern and historic vessels. There are also flyovers and festivals around the city and in Baltimore County.

You can check out more than a dozen ships during Fleet Week, docked at the Inner Harbor, Fells Point and the North Locust Point Marine Terminal. A crew of Banner interns went out Thursday to explore some of the ships in the Inner Harbor.

Meet the fleet

Some vessels are visiting Baltimore for Fleet Week, while others are here permanently but offering free entry and special programs.

Mark Guarino, who has been out of the U.S. Navy for 33 years, drove two hours from Burlington, New Jersey, early Thursday to see the new Navy ships.

“I’m very impressed with how the ship looks. We did tour a number of times on my ship, and we always wanted our ship to look the best,” he said about the USS Marinette LCS 25, which was commissioned last year. “This is a lot wider and not as long as my ship. It has a very sleek design whereas mine was boxy-looking.”

The USS Marinette and the U.S. Naval Academy Yard Patrol training ship are docked at the Inner Harbor West Wall.

At the end of Pier 3, you can find the Catlett and Reynolds ships docked just behind the National Aquarium. Both are operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and were instrumental in Baltimore’s recovery after the Key Bridge collapse .

The Catlett , one of the first on the scene of the collapse, displays some of the latest in radar technology. You can hear how the crew sprang into action to survey the Patapsco River and identify hazards. On the Reynolds, a debris ship, you can see the large crane and basket that were used to clear the riverbed.

There are also historic ships to explore, but note that accessibility can be limited on these, with some requiring a long steep ramp to gain entry and stairs and ramps throughout to enjoy the full experience.

The Constellation, a sloop-of-war and the Navy’s last-ever warship that operated only using sails, is docked at Pier 1.

The lower decks — the most original parts of the ship — are the star of the show. Descend the first staircase to find rows of cannons and the ship’s dining room. Once you reach the bottom level, where you can walk through the cramped room that was used for storage. Be prepared to crouch so you don’t hit your head on the ceiling.

You may want to pinch your nose, as well: A child wandering the bottom deck noted that it smelled like “rotten celery.”

Over at Pier 5, you can check out the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter 37, formerly the USCGC Taney.

The vessel contributed to more than 50 years of service before being decommissioned in 1986. The Cutter 37 is the last remaining warship that saw action during the attack on Pearl Harbor and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1988.

Here’s the full list of ships and locations. You can also see schedules and a map on the Maryland Fleet Week app.

Things To Do

Restaurants, food and drink, restaurants, food and drink | fells point cafe daily grind to open new location in baltimore peninsula.

The coffee shop, founded in 1991, is planning to launch its new store in early 2025, a spokesperson for the South Baltimore development said. In Fells Point, Daily Grind has a cozy, old-school feel , with community bulletin boards and wallet-friendly drip coffee. The cafe also serves espresso drinks, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches and lunch items.

The coffee shop has expanded over the years, adding outposts at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins University, Greenspring Station and elsewhere. This will be Daily Grind’s 10th location.

Across three decades, “we’ve seen the incredible growth of this city and we’re excited to join one of its newest, buzziest neighborhoods,” owner David Key said in a statement.

The cafe was one of four new retail leases announced Thursday by the developers of the South Baltimore neighborhood formerly known as Port Covington. The leases, totaling 9,600 square feet of space, also include a new M&T Bank branch, Inspire Nail Spa and a dog care provider.

The peninsula will soon be home to another coffee option: Little Wing, a cafe and general store scheduled to open June 17 inside the Roost hotel. Other dining options planned for the neighborhood include Maryland’s first Slutty Vegan restaurant , and outposts of BK Lobster, Urbano Tex-Mex, Jersey Mike’s, Ben and Jerry’s and Disaronno . A Live-K karaoke bar is also on its way to Rye Street Market, one of the first buildings to finish construction on the 235-acre development site.

Police presence strong in Fells Point as Memorial Day weekend kicks off summer season

L arge crowds and music from portable speakers filled the streets of Baltimore’s Fells Point neighborhood Saturday night and into the next morning, during Memorial Day’s three-day weekend, the unofficial start to summer. Dozens of police officers stood watch on street corners and along a metal barricade surrounding Broadway Square.

“This is a red zone; I wouldn’t do anything down here if I was y’all,” an officer told a group of young people, after he advised them not to smoke marijuana outside of Max’s Taphouse on South Broadway.

Police appeared to be focused primarily on discouraging the “illegal parties” — public drinking or drug use — that seemed to spontaneously sprout among people dancing outside the bars. Such gatherings can get out of hand quickly and turn violent, as police saw later when a brief fight broke out among several women but was quickly contained.

Fells Point, with its concentration of bars and restaurants, is a popular gathering spot for young people year-round but especially in the spring and summer, when warmer weather draws crowds eager for entertainment and interaction. With them come concerns about safety and crime.

The beefed-up police presence late Saturday is part of an effort to stop mischief before it starts, Baltimore Police Public Information Officer Freddie Talbert said in a statement.

“We continually review our plans, and we will make adjustments when necessary to ensure the safety of those visiting Fells Point,” Talbert said. In addition to having more officers out during the late-night hours, police said they are also increasing foot patrols and business checks in the region.

Three years ago , after three people were shot in the wee hours of a Sunday morning, more than 30 business owners in the area threatened to withhold taxes if city leaders did not address what they said was a “culture of lawlessness.” The move was a response to the violence but also to then-State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s policy to not prosecute certain crimes, including drug possession, public drinking and urination, and trespassing.

Baltimore’s current state’s attorney, Ivan Bates, said he has made addressing such “quality of life” crimes a focus through a citation docket launched last year. It’s meant to hold offenders accountable, while helping them avoid prosecution if they comply with certain requirements, including community service.

The program, which also aims to connect individuals with necessary city services including drug treatment, has struggled to get off the ground, with officers writing few citations. Bates said that’s beginning to change through collaboration and training, and cooperation with Mayor Brandon Scott’s office.

“If police haven’t been on the force longer than eight, nine, 10 years, they’ve never ever enforced quality of life crimes, so it’s a whole brand new world,” he said in a telephone interview. “I feel we’re definitely moving in the right direction, but it’s a slow, heavy move.”

Addressing such crime is a citywide effort, but Fells Point in particular is a focus area, Bates said, because of the tourists it draws in addition to residents. Keeping everyone happy and safe keeps them all coming back, Bates said, which bolsters Baltimore’s economy.

According to city data, violent crimes in Fells Point are down 14% this year compared to the same dates in 2023, while property crimes are down 25%. In 2022, there were 155 violent crimes reported in the neighborhood, which dropped to 130 in 2023.

“Fells Point is a beautiful neighborhood with a rich history,” said Baltimore City Councilman Zeke Cohen, who represents the district where Fells Point is located.

“All are welcome to come hang out and patronize our local businesses. We expect everyone to follow the law, and for BPD to consistently enforce the law.”

Many business owners along the main entertainment area of Fells Point were reluctant to comment this weekend on the crowds that congregate on the sidewalks during the summer.

Toni James, the owner of the Katwalk and Angel Park boutique on Aliceanna Street, said that while her businesses close early and are largely unaffected by the nightlife, she has seen a police presence on the street corners as early as 8 p.m.

Early in the night Saturday, officers migrated throughout Fells Point breaking up disruptive groups along Lancaster, Aliceanna and Thames streets, and on South Broadway. Once the bars closed at 2 a.m., hundreds more people poured into the streets — primarily congregating on Thames Street and the pier. The police presence appeared to triple at the same time, according to the department.

Police were seen toting numerous confiscated bottles of liquor to trash cans on the street, where they were poured out and thrown away.

Kate Sims, president of the Fell’s Point Resident Association, said in a text that the open liquor bottles are a particular concern for local homeowners.

“We have been working closely with city administration toward a solution,” she wrote, “and we hope to see improvements in the next few weeks.”

A small physical altercation broke out near the Thames Street entrance of Broadway Square, but police moved in seconds later. Sirens quickly followed, and more police appeared, directing onlookers to move on, ushering them up South Broadway toward Aliceanna Street. By 2:30 a.m., most were gone.
