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

I'm no connoisseur, but I've been to Prime Grill, Solo, Reserve Cut, and plenty of others, and I feel it's comparable.  To each his own, I guess.
I guess to a layman. But it's really not comparable at all.
Baltimore is full of people that think a steak is a steak, and that its all the same. That's why Serengeti and wassermans get away with it.

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/438323/baltimore-police-dealing-with-hostage-situation-in-heart-of-baltimore-jewish-community-photos.html

any info???

this is the center of the Jewish community -- where everyone walks, drives, and passes through several times each day.

When the city of Baltimore puts its police officers on trial and into jail for working to protect the local citizens, then it looks like the police will not be able to do their job well and crime increases. This month has shown several brash, dangerous, violent incidents.

That's actually not the heart of the Jewish community lol.  Rumors are the Sheriffs were trying to serve a warrant and the guy came to the door with an AK.

In custody after firing shots from the house after cops tossed gas in. No one reported injured. Mixed reports on whether there was a hostage.

I would've loved to have you!  I'll be out of the country though.  Oh, and it's Silver Spring; singular.  They get pissy about that.
