Things To Do
Iron Rooster- Annapolis
Right in the heart of DTA. Try the poptarts & get a mimosa! 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk from The Graduate.
Miss Shirley's Cafe
This is Johnny's pick! 8 minute walk from The Graduate.
Naval Bagels
DELISH bagels & breakfast sandwiches. 4 minute drive from The Graduate.
Galway Bay Irish Restaurant and Pub
Classic Irish Pub with delicious food and cold beverages - we had lots of dates here while Johnny was at the Academy. They serve an awesome Irish Breakfast and don't forget the Irish coffee! 3 minute drive or 12 minute walk from The Graduate.
Fox's Den
We love this spot for pizza and cocktails! A little tricky to find this place as they don't have a big sign and its down a flight of stairs on Main St. Awesome craft beer selection, really yummy pizza, and a cool vibe. Would be a good spot to check out if you get into town on Friday night or for a snack & bev between ceremony & reception on wedding day. They take reservations! 15 minute walk from The Graduate.
Luna Blu Ristorante Italiano
Another great option if you come into town Friday night and need a bite. 5 minute walk from The Graduate and they take reservations! They have a 10/10 delicious espresso martini.
Cantler's Riverside Inn
Another date spot for us while Johnny was at the Academy! About a 10 minute drive from The Graduate. Go here if you want some fresh steamed Maryland blue crabs. They have a fabulous Orange Crush, too!
Boatyard Bar & Grill
Another great spot for a Maryland crab meal - just on the other side of Spa Creek from DTA. Best Orange Crush in Annapolis! 6 minute drive from The Graduate.
U.S. Naval Academy Museum
Museum with free entry just a few steps away from the Chapel - stop by after the ceremony! It's open from 9am to 5pm on Saturdays. Lots of cool Naval History to be learned here!
Crypt of John Paul Jones
Legendary figure in the Revolutionary War and credited with being the Father of the American Navy. Directly beneath the USNA Chapel, you will see signs directing you to the Crypt entrance on the right hand side of the Chapel if you're looking at the front of the Chapel straight on.
Naval Academy
If you're looking for something to do on Friday or Sunday, USNA offers both walking and driven tours of the yard! Tickets can be purchased on the USNA tourism website linked below.
Shopping on Main Street
Great shopping on Main Street in downtown Annapolis! Just a short walk from USNA. You can park in the Noah Hillman Garage located at 150 Gorman Street or walk the 15 minute 0.6 miles from the Graduate to get to the shops on Main St.
