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

BWI area has several good options that you can book with points. It may be 20-25 minutes drive into Baltimore, however the extra 10 min may be worthwhile for you.

Really depends on Traffic. Can take 25 minutes into Baltimore without traffic or upwards of 45 minutes with Traffic.

No beaches within an hour of Baltimore. Maybe you mean a waterfront hotel?

Anapolis  which has beaches is around a hour. Chesapeake Bay has some nice quiet spots.

Downtown.
Have not been there is years but start with https://www.portdiscovery.org/ if your kids are age appropriate like under 10.

There are some nice quiet parks/boating area/ nature in different areas of Maryland depending where you based.
