A Stop-By-Stop Guide to Good Eats on the Banner Route

Want to
eat your way through the
Charm City Circulator Banner Route like I did?
Here’s everything you need to know.
The Charm City Circulator buses are scheduled to run every 10 minutes. Use your smart phone to view the webpage, punch in your stop and see how long until the next bus arrives or see where the buses are on the route.
For those tourists or locals starting off at the Baltimore Visitor Center, one will find Charm City Circulator maps with route stops for each bus route. There are additional fliers for each Charm City Circulator route that note points of interest by bus stop number.
My stop at the Visitor Center had two purposes: to look at the journey through visitors' eyes and to scout for restaurant fliers and their menus that were on the Banner route. I found a few. I picked up the
Visit Baltimore guide,
SoBo Voice magazine and an LGBT Visitors Guide to Baltimore. Each had a mention or an ad on many Locust Point restaurants and pubs. I picked up additional research on Google maps and riding the route.
Here’s a handy checklist with some of my favorite good eats and drinks and where you can find them on the route.
