I’ve lived in Baltimore for nearly 2 years now and have only been out in Fells and Canton. What’re the good spots in Fed? I saw someone asking about the spots in Fells and it made me curious about other places in the city.

Dear [r/baltimore](r/baltimore),
Had the pleasure of visiting your fair city last month. A frequent meal spot that was recommended by you all was Ekiben. My wife and I took a nice walk through Fell’s Point to find this spot for lunch. The food scene you have there is outstanding, but this meal we had at Ekiben is one we still talk about a month later. Shrimp—amazing; my wife’s shrimp rice bowl—“really, really good.” The Neighborhood Bird Bun—I would put the fried chicken up against my late grandmother’s chicken any day, and I’m saying that as a Southern boy. Not to mention the line chef thanked us for coming and gave us the ade bottles to enjoy. Wanted to give a glowing review for your local spot, for one, and for two, to express my thanks to this sub for the rec. For anyone I know spending a few days in your city, I will always, always recommend Ekiben. Thanks again, folks

Edit: Bird* Bun

Anyone else going to The Damned in D.C. at the 9:30 club tomorrow? Especially anyone in the Baltimore area? I'm going solo and while I'm used to that it would be nice to meet some other fans to hang with and I am relatively new to the area and want to make more connections in Baltimore/D.C.

I also do live event photography & video. Bonus points if you have a band or are a musician or work in live event production. Just looking for other punks/weirdos/music nerds and potential friends. Nothing weird.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to identify a black Phaeton Trittin RV that was driving around the Federal Hill/Otterbein area today between 4:30 and 6:00 PM.

The driver was traveling with the RV’s side compartment (or storage hatch) hanging open and ended up sideswiping my parked car on S. Hanover Street. My car was hit at exactly 5:13pm. Here is a picture of the RV that a bystander took and shared with me. The police said they cannot do anything without a clearer image of the license plate (number is not enough apparently)

Did anyone happen to see this RV or capture it on a doorbell/security camera? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

UPDATE:

First of all, huge thank you to [u/EverrollingJRW](u/EverrollingJRW) for the spot. I owe you a coffee.

Now not fun part:
According to the police there are two problems: 1) the lady is claiming to not have been the driver and that the driver (her husband) is not present. (According to my witness, there was a lady driving and a male in the passenger seat). 2) Because I was not there to see it myself but had a bystander inform me of everything, police cannot immediately confirm my account.

So, while police were able to get me their insurance, they cant pursue a hit and run charge or anything like that.

My neighbors are now sending me footage from their security cameras confirming everything the witness said. I’ll have to pass all this along to the police along with the witness information. Hopefully we can get some delayed justice at least. Crazy people think it’s OK to fuck up someone else’s property and drive away like it’s nothing

For starters I want to thank everyone that commented on my previous post about sharing resources for homeless women experiencing DV.

Earlier today, I was able to move into temporary housing WITH my cat!!
We are both safe, resting, & hopeful!
THANK YOU CHARM CITY RESIDENTS 💜

I’m soo grateful for the community this city offers, as someone who moved here 2 years ago with no support system… it genuinely means everything to me!!

I’m back to ask for some suggestions again!

Can yall share some dinner options here in the city (can’t drive too far, located near Hollins Market) between $10-15?

$20 max because I only have $25 to my name at the moment & haven’t eaten all day.
I do have SNAP, but not for another 2 days.

Hella grateful for this sub!
Thanks hon!! Lol.

Highlights from the article.

• A previously undisclosed waterfront luxury hotel with 212 rooms and rates averaging $550 per night.
• 100 apartments in the same building with average monthly rent of $7,000.
• A second residential tower with 476 units charging an average monthly rent of $4,438, which is higher than other nearby luxury towers.
• A retail building dubbed “The Sail” for its shape and an office building that would have rents nearly double those of similar projects.
• The privately financed portion of the Inner Harbor project, originally estimated to cost $500 million, has ballooned to $820 million.

I'd like to emphasize these are preliminary. The report was compiled by Columbia-based public finance consultant MuniCap Inc., is based on MCB’s own inputs and market data. Neither the tax break nor the cost projections are final.

The project could perform better or worse than outlined in the report.

22M, just moved to fells point. Looking for the best going out spots around here for other people my age, anybody have places or anything to pass? Thanks!

I was hit and run in an intersection. The aftermath was severe took a seconds to readjust and stop. By then the culprit was gone. Called 911 and a cop showed up eventually.
Told them all that happened, and this is what they said "Since you don't have the other driver's info, your car is drivable and you don't need an ambulance, a police report is not issued and there isn't anything he can do. he would drive around and try to look for a car matching the damage" 🚩I asked them "What can I do.?" The response was to go to my insurance and claim it.

But I know my premium would get higher if I do.. What are my realistic options?

I have tried to request camera footage from Citywatch program to identify the car but i have not heard back yet.

(Vent)🚩
I want to start with I am not against Police, but wtf how is this a response that "Nothing you can do"? And said he would canvas to look for a car matching the description. A white car with a dent on it's front left. This like looking for a needle in a needle stack. As police you have access to a whole lot of resources, information and personel that can do something about it. At the very list you can point mein a direction to start, you are aware of Citywatch and any other programs, you can get a warrant to request footage from neighbours and establishments at the scenes. You can alert other officers stationed elsewhere so they also look for it. ..But it felt like I was begging them. It felt like going to a restaurant and getting shitty service but on a very large scale with actual consequences to my life. This came after a tough couple of weeks so I was (am) genuinely at my lowest. I then drove to the nearest station to try and seek help (after the officer left) but I was turned down outside saying "You got hit at a differnt district thats none of our business, it's out of our jurisdiction"..... This was my breaking point. i walked back to my car but my knees failed me, vision got blurry and it must have been raining cause my face was wet. All of this happened between 3AM -4AM. Not one action of help, not even directions ono what I can do.. " (end vent)

I am hoping someone somewhere knows a thing or two and I can use their experiences to navigate mine.

Honestly, I'd love some suggestions for what to do but this is mostly me venting.

Today I got a letter from the city revenue service saying that I haven't paid my Special Benefit Taxes since I bought my condo in 2023 and I need to pay the $800 worth of annual fees for the last 3 years by Halloween.

I've assumed that the fees for our local business improvement district were covered by my escrow as part of my city taxes. I've never received a single notice or bill, since I bought the unit. But now suddenly it's all due this month or else they can put a lien on my home???

I have savings and I can afford to pay it but holy F*CK how would the average American be able to afford this? Is this how fraudulent tax sales happen?

The letter they sent is aggressive, so here's a pic of my dog-son Diesel - he's 5 and doesn't have a thought behind those angel eyes.

I used to go to Party City for my Halloween needs, but they’re long gone. Are there any other local places, besides Spirit, with a good selection?

hey everyone! i just moved to the area and due to my old therapist’s license, i can’t continue working with her since im now out of state. i would love some recommendations for a local queer friendly therapist :)

Got breakfast at Jimmy's breakfast in fells point during my visit this week. Really good breakfast at reasonable price.

Just got the lunch special at Nahm Pla (I did pork green curry and fried tofu tom kha) and it is an insane amount of food for $15. everything i've had there is really good, just gotta shout em out.

I know that vinyl has been the retro rage for some time, but I just found my old Walkman AND Diskman when cleaning, and damn it I want to browse some stacks of music and grab a couple for good times.

Received a notice of toll due for southbound, yet the reader picked up my transponder northbound. The transponder worked in 6 other states, yet not here. They also sent the notice by mail despite my plates being registered with EZPass. I love how there is no way to dispute or even link an ezpass account to a notice of toll due after the fact. Hold times are like an hour for EZPassMD customer service, so I just paid it as I'm sure everyone does.

hi, I'm planning a day trip for a larger group that has a lot of accessibility issues (three wheelchairs minimum, and probably a dozen more that can't do stairs), and wanted to give them the best crabcakes Baltimore has to offer. (edit: must be near national aquarium, not outside the city) However, a lot of recommendations on this sub Reddit either don't have large enough indoor sit down areas, don't take reservations, or aren't wheelchair accessible. Where would y'all recommend I should take my group for a top notch crab cake-centric experience? I would prefer a seafood restaurant to a general purpose expensive restaurant. Group size is somewhere between 15 to 35. needs to be close to the nat aquarium, not outside the city.

Does anyone know the exact location of the drop box at Dunbar High? I've been going to the Pratt Southeast Anchor location, but parking over there is tough. So, I thought I'd try Dunbar, but I didn't spot the drop box while driving by. Thanks!

ICE officers were spotted gathering in about 6 unmarked vans and were seen gearing up in the Saint Joseph’s Monastery Perish parking lot at 3800 Frederick Ave, Baltimore, MD, near Catonsville. They arrived near 11:18AM and departed a bit after 11:30. Please be aware if you live in the area. They are wearing plains clothes and green vests OR tactical gear.

Hey all! My name is Mike Finazzo. I'm a local singer-songwriter and have been going to Ottobar since I was 16. I've always loved the place, and I think it's one of the best music venues in Baltimore. I was lucky enough to play upstairs recently and got some pretty good footage from the show.

Here's a clip from the night. If you want to check out the whole set, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/pST3ELata2U

Anyway, hope you dig it!
