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.

I'm pretty sure that Baltimore is now so huge that both stores can be supported very well by the entire community. There are enough Kosher shoppers in the area.
Wow, just saw this. So glad, it's really about time they get some competition.
I was always baffled why such a tremendous community was always stuck with one store like 7-mile. Finally!

One could say that Seven Mile is the size of 3 stores, however the current size of the
Baltimore Jewish Community is probably large enough to support at least 6 stores.

New question.
In addition to Seven Mile Market, what other Kosher food/Passover shopping places are there?

- A to Z Savings
- Shlomo's Meat Market
- ??
- ??

(..and who is A&L Foods -- is it just wholesale? Do they have storefront? ...they are listed online...)
