Itinerary

Stop 1

30 min

Baltimore's oldest public market has stood in Fells Point since 1786, and tucked inside it is a Polish deli that locals have leaned on since 1985. You'll taste mixed pierogies, the soft dumplings that fed generations of the neighbourhood's dock-working families.

What you'll taste: Mixed pierogies (potato, or kraut and mushroom)
Fell's Point Farmers Market

30 min

You cannot understand Baltimore without the blue crab. At a harbourside seafood spot you'll taste a proper Maryland crab cake, the local benchmark: sweet lump crab meat, barely any filler, the way the city has made it for generations.

What you'll taste: Maryland crab cake
Frederick Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park

30 min

Tells the story of Frederick Douglass, who worked in the Fells Point shipyards, and the first African American-owned shipyard in the country. The tour passes through this stretch of waterfront history
Baltimore Visitor Center

30 min

The starting point for understanding the neighbourhood's 250-year history, a useful orientation landmark for guests arriving for the tour.
President Street Station

30 min

The rail station where many Italian immigrants first arrived in Baltimore in the late 1800s before settling a few blocks away in Little Italy.
Little Italy

15 min

Little Italy is a few narrow streets of multi-generational family restaurants, and here you'll taste the classics that have anchored them for decades. Think the deep, comforting flavours of Italian-American home cooking, the food these families have served since their grandparents opened the doors.

What you'll taste: A classic Little Italy plate (arancini, meatballs, or pizza)
