The 15 Best Things to Do in Baltimore Right Now
"We know the Inner Harbor is the first stop for many Baltimore travelers. But before you visit the National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center, Power Plant and Historic Ships, get a birds-eye perspective of the attractions clustered around the waterfront at Federal Hill Park, a 10-acre, elevated park that was once defended by the city during the War of 1812. Wear comfortable shoes to climb the 99 steps to the top."

"Germano’s Piattini is one of the best places in the city when you’re looking to treat someone special to a romantic dinner in Baltimore. Not only can you dine on delicious food, like Porchetta (Pork loin marinated with ground fennel, rosemary, crushed chili and garlic, then stuffed with Italian sausage, served over braised mustard seed cabbage and roasted potatoes, finished with agro dolce sauce and lemon-parsley gremolata) or Spaghetti Carrettiera (EVOO, spicy tomato sauce, garlic), but you can even take field trips and group tours arranged by Germano’s!. Now how’s that for a romantic evening?!"
