Thames Street Oyster House

A restaurant and bar that is entirely dedicated to fine seafood, ready to be enjoyed either in their upstairs dining area with a view of the sea or in the back courtyard. Of particular note are the lobster-based dishes, the specialty of the house, that can be paired with their wine, either by the glass or by the bottle.

Dining

It is said that there are 50 ways to prepare crab in Baltimore and all of them are good. Whether dining in a fish house, a food stand or more traditional restaurant, the Maryland steamed blue crabs are always an excellent choice, but expect to get your hands dirty. If you'd rather not crack your own crabs, other top-shelf, fresh seafood can be found easily in this water-front city. Diverse ethnic choices are available downtown and in most neighborhoods such as Little Italy, where traditional Italian classics like cannolis, tiramisu, biscottis and pastries are ready to be served.
