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

Yeah the Hyatt place is about 15-20 mins from the jewish community (besides Ner Israel).  Hilton is about 10 mins closer.  Downtown is not too far (under 15 mins without traffic).  And towson sheraton is about 15 mins.  All of these are in completely different directions from each other.

I'd assume you're referring to driving distance?
Prob also assume that @MnM1130 is referring to walking distance (Shabbos)?
MnM1130, please clarify.

There are no decent hotels or anything close to that in walking distance (less than a 40 minute walk) to the Jewish communities. Unless as stated before you stay in the Hilton which is ok probally a 20 minute walk to Ner Israel.

I don't know, but..
There are so many bakeries in Baltimore.
Pick up one of the circulars from Seven Mile, you'll see their ads.

Ramada is not in the area really. And the Howard Johnson is a prostitute hotel. Enjoy.

I went for a walk in the Quarry. Very nice if you only have a half hour to chill.
not that I'm planning on returning to Baltimore a/t soon but someone should start a wiki.
We must have a bunch of Baltimorons around.  ;) ;)
