\nBuilt with the sea in sight, it\u2019s rare you\u2019ll find fresher seafood in this city than you will at Thames Street Oyster House. While they have plenty of raw fish options, they\u2019ve also got favorites like their lobster rolls and a very delicious crab cake.
\nWhatever you do, don\u2019t leave without trying the dulce de leche bread pudding first.<\/p>\n3. Two Words: Exploded Potatoes<\/h2>\n

\nWhile everything on the menu at a.k.a. Friscos is delicious, the exploded potatoes are truly unique. Their take on loaded potato salad meets a cheesy potatoes au gratin is one of the most delicious dishes in Maryland. After one bite, it\u2019s a sure thing you\u2019ll be coming back for more.<\/p>\n4. This Pub Meets Brewery Has Everything You Need<\/h2>\n

\nIt\u2019s easy to tell there\u2019s plenty of talent hiding in this kitchen, as Woodberry Kitchen\u2019s new take on American favorites will deliver a memorable experience every time.
\nHowever, if you\u2019ve made the trip to Woodberry Kitchen, don\u2019t sell yourself short by not trying the CMP. This delectable dessert consists of fresh ice cream, smothered in hot fudge, toasted marshmallows, peanuts, and whipped cream. It\u2019s simple, but it sure is perfect.<\/p>\n

\nMenu items range from brunch to full dinner service, with a few of the favorites including the home fries and the sweet potato pancakes. If one things for sure, here you can taste the difference.<\/p>\n10. It\u2019s Hard To Beat A Great Slice<\/h2>\n

\nUsing only the freshest ingredients around, every pie that Isabella\u2019s serves up is straight fire. It\u2019s easy to tell this isn\u2019t your typical chain pizzeria the second you see the goods, as chunky toppings are plentiful and each pizza seems like it\u2019s been hand crafted just for you.
\nThe King Richard seems to be this town\u2019s favorite, which is basically a meat lover\u2019s pizza on steroids.<\/p>\n

\nWhile you might not be familiar with Indian food, there\u2019s always time to try something new. If you already know your way around this style of cuisine, then you\u2019re probably familiar with Curry Place by now.
\nNot only is there a weekend lunch buffet that lets you sample all of the classics, the staff is also very helpful when it comes to finding the perfect meal for you. Still a little weary? Go for the goat vindaloo or the curry lamb and you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n12. Small Plates Here Are Perfect To Share<\/h2>\n

\nOne of the best places to start any night on the town in Baltimore, 1157 doesn\u2019t cut corners when it comes to food.
\nThis quaint, modern restaurant specializes in highly shareable tapas, which make it easy to try a lot of the food on the menu in just one trip. Plus, they\u2019ve got awesome specialty cocktails to wash it all down.<\/p>\n13. Mama Mia! This Place Is Amazing<\/h2>\n

\nI\u2019ll start by mentioning that Bottega is a BYOB place, meaning you save quite a bit while you dine on their delicious Italian dishes. Their menu tends to change on a regular basis, with each new option bringing a different dash of deliciousness to patrons\u2019 plates.
\nIf you somehow manage to save room for dessert, a slice of the salted caramel pie is as good as it sounds.<\/p>\n14. 3,000 Miles Never Felt So Close<\/h2>\n

\nWhen it comes to pizza, it\u2019s best to simply try it all. The slices at Joe Benny\u2019s are probably a bit different than what you\u2019re used to, as they\u2019re built on Focaccia. Basically, this means that the crust is a lot thicker and doughy, similar to what you might find on a Sicilian-style slice.
\nWhile it might not be so typical in the pizza world, your first trip here will have you wondering how you went so long without Joe Benny\u2019s in your life.
