Dan's TR on DD

Mochjas TR

DDF DO Planning Thread

Seven Mile Market - supposedly the largest kosher supermarket in the country.

Market Maven (formerly Seasons) - great prices for meat and chicken, also good place for shabbos food


Hotels:
Only 1 Close and decent hotel to Jewish area (but not quite walking distance) is this Hilton Doubletree

Airbnb in the frum community:
Eruv Inn
Edelweiss - Located about 15 minutes from the frum community, practically next door to Ateres Elka wedding hall

Otherwise, there are a number of nice hotels downtown (which is also the inner harbor area) and near BWI airport. There are no shuls in the downtown area with regular minyanim, aside from Mincha minyanim in various offices.

Here and Here

Croustille Cafe French Bakery - French bakery with many delicious dairy and pareve bakery items.

Milk & Honey Bistro - dairy homestyle cooking

Tov Pizza - classic pizza shop - Mocha thinks this is a hell of a lot better than ^

Caramel's - pizza shop, also has sushi

Cocoaccinos/Pie 18 - cafe with sandwiches and salads, as well as custom made brick oven pizza

Pareve

what may be the possible issue? you don't have to go into their church or anything.

Amish are christian. Christianity is classified as avodah zara. There is an issur to study avoda zara, including lifestyle when the lifestyle is part of their belief system.

Try Pedal Pushers Bicycle in Severna Park. It right along the B&A trail (which is the trail the connects the BWI bike trail-5miles, to Annapolis-8 miles). It's a very nice trial, mostly shaded, flat, and connects to the 12 mile BWI trail loop (watch airplanes from up close).

They do rentals? Do you know if they have bikes for young kids? Is this trail recommended for young kids?

Do any of the restaurants have a Sukkah for Chol Hamoed?

Any ideas of activities to do in the area with younger kids (8 and younger)?
