The Maryland Bucket List
I grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, so I’ve covered a lot of Maryland at various points in my life. So, this post will cover both my own personal recommendations, as well as things I’ve yet to explore.
Jump To:
Annapolis
Kind of Visit: Historical - While there’s so much important history here, it’s home to the U.S. Naval Academy and if you haven’t been to a football game in the fall there, make it a priority!
WHERE to stay
WHERE to dine & drink
Cantler’s Riverside Inn - If you’re big into crabs, this is the place!
Chick & Ruth’s - Has been serving all-day breakfast to celebrities and politicians since 1965.
Dry 85 - Speakeasy
Harry Browne’s - A favorite of politicians and lobbyists.
Level - A small plates lounge.
Pussers - A great waterfront dive bar and restaurant with great people watching!
Reynolds Tavern - The oldest tavern in Annapolis
Things to see & do
St. Anne's Parish - The oldest church in Annapolis - founded in 1692!
United States Naval Academy - If you can snag tickets to the Army vs. Navy football game in the fall, go! It’s one of the best collegiate sporting experiences!
Baltimore
Kind of Visit: City, historical - Great for foodies and whiskey lovers, and if you’re an Edgar Allen Poe and/or baseball fan, even better!
WHERE to stay
WHERE to dine & drink
Sugarvale (speakeasy)
Tagliata - They have an extensive wine list.
The Elk Room (speakeasy)
The Horse You Came In On Saloon (speakeasy) - It’s rumored this is the place that Edgar Allen Poe had his last drink at before his mysterious death.
The Owl Bar (speakeasy)
