Lexington Market

Baltimore's Lexington Market is proud to be the oldest market in America, having been in business since 1782. The crab cakes that can be found here are renowned worldwide, but the food options range from fresh seafood to Indian cuisine. It is also very accessible with many means of transportation, thanks to the many parking spots and the nearby bus and light rail stops.

Shopping

Whether you prefer high-end boutiques, large modern malls, flea markets or just browsing, you will find lots of shopping opportunities in Baltimore. The Inner Harbor houses many familiar national retailers, while some of the older neighborhoods like Mount Vernon and Fell's Point are home to some fine boutiques and specialty stores. There are several great choices for antique-lovers at Antique Row, an entire block of historic antique stores. Perhaps the most distinctive shopping options are the public markets. Lexington Market, founded in 1782, is the city's oldest, but the Broadway Market in Fell's Point and the Cross Street Market in Federal Hill also offer many unique offerings and handmade gifts.
