Historic Ships in Baltimore
301 E Pratt StFrom early in the history of the city, the hill was a public gathering place and civic treasure. The hill itself was given the name in 1789 after serving as the location for the end of a parade and a following civic celebration of the ratification of the new "Federal" constitution of the United States of America.[6] For much of the early history of Baltimore, the hill was known as Signal Hill because it was home to a maritime observatory serving the merchant and shipping interests of the city by observing the sailing of ships up the Patapsco River and signalling their impending arrival to downtown business people.

Robbin Haas’s rustic Italian hot spot (with a second location in Bel Air) is always bustling—and with good reason. Whether dining in the huge barroom or the more subdued dining areas (our favorite tables are upstairs), this is where you put together a meal in no particular order—and it always works out. Just to give you a sense, on a recent visit, we started with Evolution Craft Brewing’s Exile Red Ale and the light and lemony calamari, and ended up splitting the family dinner of the night (lamb shank cacciatore) and legendary Duck Duck Goose pizza. Can you say “satisfying”? At Your Service: Clad in plaid, the servers here are always accommodating, whether we’re a large party or just a coupl

While much is made of Bookmakers’ boffo bar program, what makes it a real powerhouse is that the food is its equal. Rustic with a slight Southern leaning, this Federal Hill spot certainly won’t leave you hungry. Start off with clever appetizers like cheeseburger deviled eggs (hard-boiled whites filled with ground meat, shredded lettuce, and cubed tomatoes, all drizzled with chef’s sauce) or smoked shrimp croquettes, served with a bright lemon-caper aioli. There isn’t a wrong item on the menu, but the classic Bookies Burger or crispy Southern fried chicken are safe bets.

La Scala’s Sicilian chef-owner Nino Germano isn’t in the game to break new culinary ground—he just prepares the standards with great ingredients and solid technique, a formula that yields precisely the food you want when you’re looking for the Italian classics. La Scala distinguishes itself with a broad menu that offers favorites from the elegant cream-based cuisine of the north to the red-sauced riches of the south. A spinach fettuccine Bolognese boasts a meaty, complex sauce, and the veal saltimbocca will make you remember why you fell in love with the dish. Above all, everything is made with love.

What began as a saloon in 1889 is today the Hull Street Blues Cafe, listed as one of the best neighborhood restaurants in Baltimore. It is wedged among blocks of row houses in South Baltimore's Locust Point, on a side street named after Isaac Hull, a naval hero in the war of 1812. Also in his honor is the Cafe's Commodore Room for casual gourmet dining with linens and stemware. It gives the place a split personality as the adjacent room can be filled with locals lining a 40 foot long bar enjoying brews and lighter fare.
Dan and Kathy Macatee have seen their menu grow from a steamship round sandwich to include all of the basics from filet mignon and fresh salmon to Hull Street crab cakes and

Anyone who can crumble a little feta is opening a Greek spot these days, but amidst the expansion, The Black Olive endures. All you need to remember about this family-owned taverna is this: the whole fish. The selection changes daily, but whether it’s red snapper or bass, sweet swimmers are grilled over charcoal, then brushed in olive oil, and showered with lemon, before being delicately deboned tableside. Sit near the front window looking out over the cobblestones of Bond Street, sip on the namesake Black Olive martini, and nosh on an assortment of mezes (grilled octopus salad, stuffed calamari) before the entrees arrive.

With its unassuming entrance and red neon sign, this quirky Canton spot, which bills itself as a “boutique dive bar,” is both real—and rarefied. After several chef changes, former Salt alum Ben Sawyer is now at the helm and turning out gorgeous plates of New American fare with innovative flavor combinations (braised brisket with mustard crème fraîche and black bass with kumquat relish, to name a few). At Your Service: The hip waitstaff is helpful without hovering. On a recent outing, bartender Jay Calvert appeared after each round to make sure his clever concoctions were to our liking—multiple rounds made our opinions obvious.
