BALTIMORE, MD

"I would never want to live anywhere but Baltimore. You can look far and wide, but you’ll never discover a stranger city with such extreme style. It’s as if every eccentric in the South decided to move north, ran out of gas in Baltimore, and decided to stay."
– John Waters, Shock Value

Cool Hangouts:

Lexington Market - My new favorite place in baltimore!
The Ottobar - Local music venue in a small, old-fashioned bar setting.
Paper Moon Cafe - Open all night long.
One World Cafe - Good coffee and vegetarian food, but beware of the extremely slow service!
The Brewer's Art - Basement bar in Mount Vernon.
The 13th floor at the Belvedere Hotel - A fairly posh bar (they have a dress code), but with great views of the city.
American Visonary Art Museum
The Charles - Baltimore's art movie theater, in a cool-looking renovated warehouse.
Video Americain - Ok, not much of a hangout, but a good place for renting foreign and artsy movies. The guys who work at the Coldspring Lane shop are really cool - I got into a discussion about Stereolab with one of them once.
