If you have only 24 hours in Baltimore, where should you go?
For breakfast, definitely stop in Station North and go to Nancy By SNAC. Chef Kevin Brown is like the mayor of Baltimore; everyone goes
to Nancy’s. When you leave there, skip downtown and run right to the American Visionary Art Museum. While you’re down there [at the Inner Harbor], you have to make a quick stop — a couple of hours — at the National Aquarium. Then keep on walking around the harbor down to Harbor East for shopping, and then to Fell’s Point. For dinner, go to the Fells Point Tavern, and afterward hang out on Main Street to listen to some of the bands playing. Or the Hippodrome Theatre usually has great Broadway shows in town, so you can always head there after dinner.
Which neighborhood do you love most?
Fell’s Point, where I live. It’s visited by a lot of people; it’s cozy. Fell’s Point has two sides — it’s very busy with all the bars and restaurants, but it’s also a quiet place where people live. I enjoy the serenity of being by the water.
