Things to Do
The National Aquarium
Considered one of the world's best aquariums and well worth a visit! Shae used to work here as an exhibit guide when she was in high school.
Fells Point
This is one of Shae & Greg's favorite areas in Baltimore. During the day, it's a beautiful place to walk along the cobblestone streets for shopping, coffee, gelato, restaurants and more. At night, there are lots of bars you can check out. They have a great farmer's market on Saturdays, from 9am–12:30pm
Federal Hill Park
Federal Hill Park offers panoramic views of Baltimore's downtown and Inner Harbor. Pro-tip is that there's an awesome coffee shop at the bottom called Three Bean. We highly recommend grabbing a drink there before making the trek up the hill!
Ceremony Coffee Roasters
There are several Ceremony Coffee Roasters locations in Baltimore – They are all absolutely mind-blowingly incredible. Ceremony is one of our all time favorites in the coffee-scene. This address is for the harbor point location, which is on the water in Baltimore and is a newer location for them. There's also a great shop in Mt. Vernon that we highly recommend as well. They have lots of creative seasonal drinks and fantastic pour overs.
Nick's Fish House
This is one of Shae & Greg's favorite seafood restaurants in Baltimore!
Artifact Coffee
This is one of our favorite coffee shops, it has a rotating list of pour overs, house-baked food, and is set in the reclaimed boiler house of the historic Union Mill building in Baltimore's Hampden-Woodberry neighborhood.
Movement Hampden
Movement Hampden is a climbing gym that features more than 10,000 square feet of bouldering terrain as well as a yoga studio and dedicated fitness areas. Pro-tip! There's a great coffee roastery right next door that you can grab a drink at on your way out (Vent Coffee Roasters).
Sagamore Spirit Distillery
Sagamore spirits come from a spring house, built in 1909, at Maryland's Sagamore Farm just down the road from the Rhinehart residence in Baltimore! They make incredible Rye and host daily tours and tastings at the distillery.
Cross Street Market
The Cross Street Market is a historic marketplace built in the 19th century in the Federal Hill neighborhood. It is home to more than 20 independently-owned and -operated vendors, and there's a great farmer's market there, every Sunday through the summer, 10am–2pm. Also - there's a Ceremony Coffee Roasters location inside!
