Mochjas TR

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.

Dairy

Dunkin Donuts - 2 kosher locations
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

Sushi Sakura

If you are coming any time soon be aware there is a lot of extra trafic in the hotels area due to a large water main break.

Thanks for the update.  I'm coming the entire week of August 13 so hopefully will be fine by then :)

I doubt you'll get an honest straight answer to that. Basically what I heard was disagreement of things.

An update:

I am writing this from the Sheraton Inner Harbor.  So far it's been a nice vacation.  This hotel is great.  Very clean and the Club Lounge on the 14th floor is nice and well stocked with fruit and soda.  My room on the 15th floor is nice and I have a view of both Stadiums (obviously would prefer a harbor view but there was not much availability this week). 

We ate at David Chu's last night.  It was good but the food is about the same as the better chinese restaurants in Monsey (which doesn't say a lot).  The atmosphere is much nicer here though.  We ate at Tov Pizza tonight and the pizza (half with felafel) and mozz sticks were very good!  The fries were just ok.  We did a little shopping at 7 Mile Market also.  Nice selection of kosher food and plenty of Cholov Yisroel stuff which was good for us.

The aquarium was very cool and definitely worth checking out but too expensive for my liking ($81 for two adults and a 3 year old).  The rest of the inner harbor is nice to walk around and seems to have a lot to offer, though with our two little kids we won't be doing much of it.

I'll try to update in a few days or when I get back.

Just FYI not everything in Tov is pas / cholov yisroel, or better said most items their are not pas / cholov yisroel. Only the few items such as pizza and fries that they make in the store are good according to all the rabbis there, the rest of the items such as the knishes pastas etc, aren't good according to most.

I noticed a Howard Johnson right on Reistertown Road.  Probably not all that nice but definitely in the middle of the kosher food area.

Been to Umami yet?

Nope will try and convince the wife to go today or tomorrow.

That is a known prostitute hotel. It's not for "tourists"

You should have gone to Port Discovery instead. Aquarium is ridiculous expensive

Hilton is the only one unless you want something drug/prostitute infested.
Also it's in "pikesville" but not really walking distance from the Jewish community. So you might as well just find a nicer hotel a little farther out.

Looks like there's a Hyatt Place not too far.

Nope will try and convince the wife to go today or tomorrow.
Great Pad Thai, Chinese, sushi etc.
Cheaper during lunch hours.
