Going to Baltimore MD

Any one form Maryland?

I’m going to Baltimore for the metalfest, and I wanted to know if there are any places I should visit.

Are there any good music stores arround downtown?

My brother lives in downtown Baltimore. He says you'll have no trouble finding a good time there.

Cheesesteak at MaGurks in Federal Hill.
Beer at Brewer's Art in Mt Vernon. Go to the downstairs bar.
Beer at Max's on Broadway in Fells Point.
Baltimore Aquarium is great.
Check for live music at 8x10, Otto Bar, Fletchers, Ramshead Live, Sonar, Recher Theatre.
Definitely get some blue crab.

The PRS factory is in Maryland. If I was going down there, I'd love to check it out.

Absolutely, positively go to The Corner Stable in Cockeysville (just north of Baltimore).
They have the best baby back ribs on the planet. Get the "Texas Style."

Beware. Ribs at any other joint will never be the same; they will always be inferior.
You will forever be disappointed with ribs until you go back to the Corner Stable.
I am not kidding.

Don't watch this show before you go! http://www.hbo.com/thewire/


Baltimore is a great town! The Inner Harbor is a cool place to visit.

Fells Point has a couple of good records stores: Soundgarden is the largest and maybe the best (depending on what you're looking for). El Suprimo is near the corner of Aliceanna and Broadway and is great for vinyl. Record Guru is also on Broadway, tucked away down a tiny alley. I haven't been there, apparently its a lot of older records.

There's also True Vine up in Hampden, but that specializes in weirder, obscuro vinyl and music.

If its late and you're looking for a bite, your best bet might be Paper Moon, on the corner of 29th and Cresmont Ave. It used to be 24 hours, but the recession forced it to cut back. Now the last seating Sun-Thurs is midnight and 2AM on Fri/Sat.

If you're into comics and the like, Atomic Books in Hampden is a great store, lots of indies, majors and crazy books on Satanism and stuff. If you prefer a more conventional comic store, there's Mystic Sprial (or something Spiral, I always forget), a couple blocks north in this building called the Rotunda, on 41st st. between Keswick and Roland.


The Charles is a great indie movie theater, and the Harbor East theater at the end of Presidents St. (sort of between the Inner Harbor and Fells Point), usually has a pretty solid selection as well.

The Sidebar is a good bar, it's always got good specials and a great dive-bar feel.

In Stephensville on Kent Island - about 45-1hr from Downtown Baltimore - you'll need a car. PRS tours are usually booked up way in advance and not much to see if you just turn up at the factory - a shop selling t-shirts and caps and not much more. I'd definitely call ahead before visiting.

Agreed. If you are willing to drive 45 minutes or so, go to Chuck Levins and Atomic Music instead.
