The nucleus of the city, Downtown Baltimore is undergoing a transformation shifting from an office district into a vital series of neighborhoods with something to do 24/7. From City Hall to Lexington Market. Camden Yards to the Inner Harbor, many of the attractions that make the city a great place to live, work and visit are in what just happens to also be the region's leading commercial and residential district.

An ever increasing number of families and professionals have chosen to make Downtown their home, preferring to live in an apartment, condo or single-family home within steps of some of the city's prime entertainment and food spots to an arduous commute from the suburbs. The neighborhood's high quality of life, the ability to walk to the office, the largest amount of transit access and the proximity to major highways offers easy access to Downtowners.

The Maryland Science Center, National Aquarium in Baltimore, HarborPlace & The Gallery, Port Discovery, Sonar, and Rams Head Live, one of the top drawing venues in the country, night clubs, and a host of other venues provide entertainment, dining experiences and shopping for pint-sized residents and adults alike.

Check out what's great about the neighborhood from people that live there, what to do each night of the week and the best in shops, restaurants, pubs, cafes and entertainment!

So you scanned the headlines on your iPhone and downloaded the latest issue of your favorite magazine on your iPad. But you probably still have cherished memories of your favorite books that you wouldn't trade for the latest Apple gadget, says Baltimore Reads CEO Shirley Bigley LaMotte. 

Baltimore's Classic Restaurants Buck the Trends

Baltimore’s stalwart restaurants have to compete with modern, trendy wine bars and bistros. Few have made it through decades of roller coaster growth and recessions. But classics like the Prime Rib, Rusty Scupper, Sotto Sopra, the Black Olive and Tio Pepe are going by changing with the times -- yet staying true to what made them crowd favorites in the first place.
