Dan's TR on DD

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.

Caramel's - pizza shop, also has sushi

Cocoaccinos/Pie 18 - cafe with sandwiches and salads, as well as custom made brick oven pizza

Aaron, thanks for the detailed review. How did it compare to NY /LA /Miami?

Food and service are comparable.  Prices were cheaper, but ambiance felt cheaper as well, just because it's in the shopping center.

Hello Baltimore Peeps, I'll be in Baltimore at the end of August for a wedding. Just want to know where is a good place to stay with 3 kids Ages between 12 month old and 7. Also I'm looking to do a 3-4 day trip out of it. Any advice is appreciated.

Only one nice option near the Jewish community is a Hilton doubletree on Reisterstown Rd. Otherwise downtown or near the airport. Where is the wedding

Drive from the Doubletree to Shomrei Emunah is 10 min. Drive from Doubletree to kosher shopping and dining <5 min. Drive from Doubletree to shuls is ~8-10 min depending on which shul.
For 3-4 day trip: Washington, D.C. and Williamsburg, VA will keep you busy but with very young kids it may not work as well.
