Anyone Going to Baltimore?

[JohnnyHammersticks]

Been there a handful of times. Inner harbor area is pretty cool. Sports venues are close. Little Italy is cool and definitely worth checking out. I walked to Little Italy from the inner harbor. Federal Hill area is cool if you're into historical things, and also within short walking distance from the Inner Harbor, Camden Yards, and M&T stadium. In fact, everything I mention is within about a mile and a half from the sports venues.

In terms of the Inner Harbor, highlights for me were Camden Yards, the aquarium, and Pier 6 pavilion. Good views from the top of the World Trade Center on the bank of the harbor. Pier 6 pavilion won't be operating this time of year I don't expect, but it's a really cool music venue, an outdoor amphitheater next to the WTC right on the bank of the harbor. I've only been there in the spring and summer.

I'm not a seafood guy, but the crab cakes I ate really were incredible. Haven't been there since 2005, so I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but I'm sure any place around the inner harbor will have great crab cakes.

I always came in though the light rail that comes into the city from BWI, and you'll definitely roll through some super sketchy neighborhoods on your way to the stadium if you come via that route. But you're on the train, so it really doesn't affect you.

Some really cool pubs on the short walk down Pratt St. from Camden Yards/M&T down to the inner harbor. There's a huge conglomeration of restaurants in the same structure on the inner harbor. Can't remember what it was called, but you can't miss it.

Me and a buddy are going out. If you're looking for a last minute flight, there's an Express Deal in the Priceline app right now for Sat out/Mon back, MCI to DCA for $241. They don't show you the exact times or airlines until after, but mine was United both ways.

You didn't know the airline? It's terrifying to think that it could have been Frontier.

They gave a list of four it could have been and the list was free of Frontier and Spirit.

We’re headed out as well; me, the wife, sister, and brother-in-law. Can’t wait…

Never been to Baltimore. Some of the above posts have me concerned. We’re booked in an Air Bnb about .5 mile NW of the stadium. Neighborhood is called Pigtown, I believe. Looks clean, nice cars, etc. on Google street view. Anyone have any better intel?

We get in late Friday night. Looking for something to do Saturday if there’s a good place to go, stuff to see, beer to drink, etc.

Any good KC Bars around there, BRC?

Thanks for the help!

WOOT! Have fun. Give us some feedback on the "VIP Tailgate". Liked to know if it was worth it.

Sorry, no Baltimore chapter. Haven't heard of a Chiefs focused bar there.

The DC group is planning a tailgate before the game.

It's an AFC Championship game. they'll be plenty of cops around I would expect just to keep the peace.

It's just like any major city in the US - you'll be fine. Similar level of poverty that surrounds Q39 in KC if you've ever been there.

There's just a bunch of racist morons here who have never gone outside of their trailer parks.

The inner harbor is very neat - good aquarium, shops, little Italy right next to it.

Looks like I'll be getting tickets too so I'll be looking around for bringing beer to someone's tailgate.

Trust me it's grimier in Baltimore. You can get confronted by "squeegee" bums even in the nicer parts, or at least you could in 2020.

You said poverty.

False assessment.

This is Q39 area slander is crazy. 39th street is an awesome vibrant area. What are you even talking about.

As someone who lives near Q39. LOL.. That's an incredibly ignorant statement.
