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.

Here and Here

Croustille Cafe French Bakery - French bakery with many delicious dairy and pareve bakery items.

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

Pareve

Umami is better than David Chus for the most part.
Easta La Vista is new. Israeli type food.

The sweet and sour chicken was odd at Umami's, and we tried an 'orange medallion' beef...

Any new good sushi spots in Baltimore?
Really liked the sushi at Accents - made with fresh, warm rice....  -- Anyone know if the sushi at the Knish Shop is better?

Your best bet is probably the Hyatt Regency in downtown Baltimore (300 Light Street).  Depending on traffic, it is about a 20 minute drive to shul.

There is a Ramada and a Howard Johnson in the area on Reisterstown too.


Both of those hotels are not worth staying at.
