There's more to Federal Hill -- or Fed Hill, as the locals call it -- than meets the eye. While it's known for its college crowd, Fed Hill is way more than a collection of bars. There are plenty of tasty bites, crafty cocktails, creative spaces, and fascinating history to be found among the brickfront rowhomes and alleyways of this neighborhood on the harbor.
A BYOB spot with a menu full of gourmet French fries? Yes, please.
You don't have to be visiting the AVAM in order to enjoy this hidden gem tucked away on the top floor of the museum.
Built in the 19th century, historic Cross Street Market is a Federal Hill institution. Stop by any of the many old-school stalls, serving everything from homestyle barbecue to classic fried chicken, for a true taste of Baltimore. But if you're craving true Mid-Atlantic seafood, it doesn't get any fresher than Nick's Inner Harbor Seafood -- so pull up a stool for a quick plate of local oysters or a steaming hot cup of Maryland Crab Soup.
