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.

If dougies is anything like the one in Teaneck I wouldn't call it an upscale steaks house.
So basically bmore don't have  any?
It looked upscale when I was inside.
They have nice seating, great looking menus, and live entertainment on certain nights.

I was there for SBS, I got a nice sized gift card when I was there that night.
Plan to use it there next trip to Baltimore.
(Will find out if it is really a steakhouse.)

Same here.
1) Have you tried Sushi Spot2 in Crown Heights? Pretty good, too, IMO.
2) I've had both Meshuga 4 Sushi in LA. LaBrea and Pico: Is there one known to be better than the other?

Try Shallot's (ORD), Yakimono (YUL), Euro Fusion (FLL), etc for some real sushi.

Next on my list are Sushi Tokyo and sushi from Shallots.
Euro Fusion in Ft. Lauderdale and Hamachi Sushi in Chicago are pretty good, too.

I need a recommendation for an upscale steakhouse in Baltimore .... Or do they not have one?

Unfortunately since the Brasserie closed down (a shame) they dont have an upscale steakhouse, but Umami is a nice place to dine as well as David Chu's. Even though they are Asian they do have steak.

What are you guys talking about, the Agudah is pretty close to a Shomer Shabbos style Shul. There are alot of Minyanim for Shachris, Mincha and Marriv all day. Definitly not as many as Shomer Shabbos or Landaus but it works. You can call 410-764-3333 for times.

Thanks for the recommendation of umami. I wouldn't call it upscale exactly but the food was delicious and plenty with excellent prices ( compared to ny) really fast service too.
Would def recommend to anyone
