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

Goldberg's Bagels - very good bagels and free wifi.

Mama Leah's - pizza that is a bit different, but IMHO (Lunatic), the best pizza in Baltimore

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

Playa Bowls Quarry Lake - "the original Acai bowl" - lots of great pareve options as well, delicious bowls

Pareve

We have a Thursday night wedding in Baltimore coming up, and we'd like to make a weekend trip out of it, staying until Monday. What options are there near Baltimore for Friday-Monday, must have an Eiruv, preferably with someplace we can eat on Shabbos? (No, we don't know anyone to invite ourselves to in Baltimore.)
I'm thinking Washington D.C., just wanted to see if there are any other good options. And if anyone has DC recommendations, I'd love to hear them.

Looking at the wiki, this needs a lot of updating. Is it okay for me to do so? Lots of these places have closed, new ones have opened, etc

Lechora, any use should always feel free to A) add info not on a wiki and B) correct inaccurate information on a wiki. The only time someone has the "right" to get annoyed is if you change their opinions about someplace to your opinion. Also, be sure the info is really not accurate (ie - the place closed - versus 'you said the place is terrible but I was there and it was awesome'). Barring that, go for it!

sure!
I believe I've said it before, that there should be some sort of system like a DDF hat tip or something like that to fix wikis, otherwise people get lazy about it and most of them are outdated

As far as I know, he is the only Airbnb in the Eruv, let alone a kosher one. I know of more options for medical needs, but otherwise I'm not sure.

Thanks. Not available for our dates, but would have been a good option. Think we're going to go straight to DC.

For a first  class lodging experience in Baltimore when you visit, consider checking out Edelweiss Kosher Rentals.It is an amazing airbnb experience in northwest Baltimore in relative driving proximity to Pikesville, where kosher food and kosher restaurants are abundant. Many out of towners stay there when attending weddings and other simchas since it is such a high end, first class, resort-like Air B&B experience.
what a first post
Just curious if you have any correlation to that place  ;)

I see them advertise almost weekly in the 5t paper. I always wonder how much business could they be getting to make it worth it to place a quarter page ad each week.

I made some recent updates to the wiki as follows:

Added Eruv Inn and Edelweiss as airbnb options.

Restaurants: Removed Chef Dan, Van Gogh cafe and Sapori, added Yesh Hummus & Grill, Croustille Cafe French Bakery, Playa Bowls, Sushi Sakura, Shalom Cafe and recently-certified-kosher Cinnaholic. (Can anyone confirm that Me Latte is still downtown? I don't think it is? But I'm not sure...) Also added the Accents liquor store.

Added link to all minyan times in all shuls in Baltimore.
