An article in October 4th’s New York Times starts with the message I always try to convey: Baltimore is not just The Wire. It goes on to talk about several of the highlights of an insider’s tour of Baltimore, some of the out-of-the-way places that someone here for a conference or a ball game won’t see.
There is also a corresponding slide show with images of neighbourhoods, restaurants and more.

ReplyDeletetotally agree! Lived for a while outside of Baltimore- the city has loads of great surprises!
ReplyDeleteThank heavens. Hope people read this and ignore Bourdain.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I read that piece! You do try to tell us about the "un-tourist" Baltimore and it is appreciated, really :)
ReplyDeleteI moved from Baltimore 13 years ago and I'm still intrigued by the culture and uniqueness of the city. There is so much to offer.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I love Baltimore. And I will be there on Wed. trying to find a job! Keep your fingers crossed.
ReplyDeletevery cool, I hope to visit one day soon!Thanks Meg!
ReplyDeleteI love Bistro b...Woodberry Kitchen or Table or whatever you call it...not so much.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Baltimore. Took the kids there two Summers ago and had a ball. A little bit of everything. Great spot.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad the really charming parts of Baltimore are the ones people never see. When I first moved to the city to go to grad school, I wasn't that excited about the city. And I kept looking at the park benches and thinking "who declared this the best city in america?! But by the time I left, I loved all the little charming details around every corner.
ReplyDeletelooks like Monet's house in Giverny/France near Paris (40 miles)
