Midtown is a neighborhood of Baltimore.

Introduction to Baltimore/Midtown

You can visit Baltimore without visiting Midtown, but you will be missing out. Midtown is arguably Baltimore's most beautiful section of town, having housed the city's wealthy and fashionable starting centuries ago. The Mount Vernon neighborhood, especially Mount Vernon Plaza, is the principal destination for visitors, as it is the lovely setting for the city'sWashington Monument, predating the larger obelisk in Washington, D.C.|D.C. and for the Walters Art Museum.

Just north of Mount Vernon is what has become known as Baltimore'sStation North Arts District, often known as Charles North, which is the hippest part of town. Great restaurants, great restaurants both sophisticated and offbeat, tons of local artists including those at the eccentric Maryland Institute College of the Arts and the prestigious Peabody School of Music and the Lyric Opera House, art galleries and the beloved art-house film Charles Theatre. This area is also home to Penn Station the light rail cuts right through it, so you don't have much of an excuse to skip a trip here!

Bolton Hill, to the northwest of Howard Street and Martin Luther King Blvd, has far less as far as tourist sights go, but is an absolutely stunning location for a stroll or drive—stately tall 19th century rowhouses and mansions, gilded statues, huge old churches and so on. It sports a couple of nice restaurants as well and a few houses (not open for visitors) of famous former residents such as Friday Scott Fitzgerald.

Just west of Mount Vernon, charming Seton Hill's eclectic mix of large and small row houses are centered on the beautiful Saint Mary's Park. Strolling through this quiet green space with its large trees and small fountain, you could quickly forget that you are just a few blocks from all the amenities Baltimore offers. The State Office Complex and Downtown Baltimore's towers are visible above the roofs of Seton Hill's historic homes, but are far enough to be quickly forgotten when you leave work behind. And every October the neighborhood puts on the Seton Hill French Fair and Flea market, bringing the community together for some fun and showcasing the neighborhood.

How to travel to Baltimore/Midtown by car

It's easy enough to find the neighborhood by car—you can take Martin Luther King Blvd straight from Exit 53 off I-95N, or go straight up Charles Street from Baltimore/Downtown|Downtown. I-83 the Jones Falls Expressway, leads right into the neighborhood and has exits at North Ave and Maryland Ave/Charles St/St. Paul.

Parking is another matter, with often limited metered parking in the busy sections around Charles Street and two hour zone restrictions in residential areas. The zone restrictions are pretty poorly enforced, but the ticket prices can be high.

Travel by train to Baltimore/Midtown

Amtrak as well as the MARC commuter rail c-train Penn Line from D.C. serve Penn Station, which is a fairly easy walk from virtually anywhere in the neighborhood.

By light rail

The ht-rail light rail leads through Mount Vernon and Station North, stopping at Centre St for Mt Vernon Plaza and historic Seton Hill, Cultural Centre for the Opera House, Penn Station and North Ave for the eccentric bars, clubs and Pizzas places at the northern edge of the neighborhood.

By metro

The o-subway metro subway has a convenient stop at State Center (near the Cultural Centre light rail stop), but it's not terribly clear whether anyone uses the Baltimore metro, nor whether you should either.

Travel by Bus

[https://+Bus&route=Route+11 Bus #11 has a remarkably useful route leading north on Charles Street from Downtown and the Baltimore/Inner Harbor|Inner Harbor and on to the Baltimore Museum of Art and Johns Hopkins' main campus in Baltimore/North Baltimore|North Baltimore. On the way south back to the Inner Harbor, it follows Maryland Ave to Gothic Church St, before heading east all the way to Baltimore/Fells Point|Fells Point and Baltimore/Southeast Baltimore|Canton.

The Charm City Circulator's purple route is a really useful loop for any visitors. It runs a loop from Penn Station through the neighborhood, Baltimore/Downtown|Downtown and the Baltimore/Inner Harbor|Inner Harbor and even on to Baltimore/South Baltimore|Federal Hill. Just remember that it doesn't run that late!

Shopping in Baltimore/Midtown

Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church, Baltimore, MD - Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church|180px

It may not be the type of store to attract visitors, but it does show off what this artsy neighborhood is about. Very knowledgeable staff, unsurprisingly.

The pastries and coffee are good, but the specialty Burgers and sandwiches are what really shine. Nice outdoor seating in the summer.

Shapiro's Cafe - 7 West Preston Street - ☎ +1 410 220-0050 Opening 8AM Monday - 7PM, Saturday noon-9PM $6-10 Thit is a great shawarma/falafel shop west of Charles Street (there are some pretty good ones in the southeast of the city too).

Sofi's Crepes - 1723 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 410 727-7732 Opening Hours: Monday - West 5PM Monday - 9PM, Thursday - Saturday 11:30AM Monday - 11PM, Sunday 11:30AM Monday - 8PM $8-15 Sofi's does an easy trade on being the one truly tasty spot right by the Charles Theatre. The crepes come with cutsy, often theater-related names (like the "Kevin Bacon") and are designed strictly for take out, to be eaten like a sandwiches.

Soup's On - 11 West Preston - Opening from Monday to Saturday 11AM Monday - 8PM, Sunday noon-6PM $8-14 The only real downside to this place is the danger that that awful Heat is on song might get stuck in your head (sorry). There are Meat, veggie and vegan soups available—the menu is actually huge, with options ranging from borscht to Maryland crab to curried persimmon!

Station North Arts Cafe Gallery - 1816 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 410 625-6440 Opening 8AM Monday - 3PM, Saturday 11AM Monday - 3PM $3.50-7 This cafe keeps in with the general trend of art galleries residing in restaurants and cafes.

Both lunch and happy hour see great deals both on the sushi, including a dollar sushi menu and the drinks. The affordable BBQ wings are also surprisingly well done. Karaoke in the lounge downstairs F-Sa nights.

Dukem Ethiopian Restaurant - 1100 Maryland Ave - ☎ +1 410 385-0318 Opening Hours: 11AM Monday - 11PM daily $10-20 D.C.'s Washington, D.C./Shaw|U Street mainstay for Ethiopian food has opened a location in Baltimore and it easily surpasses the original: prices are a bit lower and the atmosphere is more relaxed and friendly and some would even say the food is a notch higher! As in D.C., Dukem excels in the Meat category, with wonderful [ beef tibs especially, as well as great raw dishes. If you haven't had Ethiopian food before, thit is a great place to start—just remember that you'll be eating with your hands and that you can wind up with some spicy dishes! They roast their own coffee beans daily in an elaborate, traditional and very elaborate Ethiopian coffee ceremony, down to the white dresses, scented grasses, frankincense, etc. It's incredible.

Indigma - 801 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 443-449-6483 Opening Hours: Lunch: Tuesday to Friday 11:30AM Monday - 2:30PM, Saturday Sunday noon-3PM; dinner: Tuesday - Thursday Sunday 5PM Monday - 9:30PM, Friday Saturday 5PM Monday - 10:30PM $19-30

And, unsurprisingly, given its location on the hippest strip in town, has really cool atmosphere with local artists exhibiting on the walls and regular live jazz even on weeknights. It's more of a restaurant than its southern rival, with table service and a full café. Outdoor patio seating is great in nice weather.

Kumari Restaurant | 911 North Charles Street - Opening Hours: Lunch: Monday 11:30AM Monday - 2:30PM, Tuesday to Friday 11AM Monday - 2:30PM, Saturday Sunday 11:30AM Monday - 3PM; dinner: Sunday - Thursday 5PM Monday - 10PM, Friday Saturday 5PM Monday - 10:30PM $15-28 Nepalese finds its home on the eclectic jumble of Charles St, with a tasty lunch buffet and a nice but casual dinner.

Minato - 1013 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 410 332-0332 Opening Hours: Lunch: Monday to Friday 11:30AM Monday - 2:30PM; dinner: Monday - Thursday 5PM Monday - 10PM, Friday Saturday 5PM Monday - 11PM $10-24 While there isn't anything terribly special about the sushi at this college student-friendly place, it's a fun, casual restaurant with good prices and great happy hour specials.

Ext-Night - Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

b Bistro - 1501 Bolton Street - ☎ +1 410 383-8600 Opening Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 5PM Monday - 10PM, Sunday 10AM Monday - 2PM, 5PM Monday - 9PM $28-50 Local, organic, seasonal, contemporary American cuisine. The atmosphere is simple and casual and the setting in beautiful old Bolton Hill is wonderful. b Bistro is a good excuse to drive over to the neighborhood, as it is an easy neighborhood for a visitor to overlook.

Excellent brunch spot. One downside to watch out for, though, is that the café can obtain DJs spinning some loud music F-Sa nights that can distract from a top-notch dinner. The coffee shop remains at the side if you just want to stop by for some Zeke's Coffee and a bite of Chocolates cake.

Helmand - 806 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 410 752-0311 Opening Hours: Sunday - Thursday 5PM Monday - 10PM, Friday Saturday 5PM Monday - 11PM $18-30 The city papers love it and the local residents love it, even the Karzai family loves it—this truly may be Baltimore's favorite restaurant. The decor is urbane and fairly upscale, but it's fine to wear jeans. The food, despite the restaurant's popularity, is remarkably well-priced. Focus on the appetizers; it's not a bad idea to order a bunch of them and only one entree to share. Aushak is a specialty here, but if you haven't had kaddo (sauteed pumpkin with a garlic yogurt sauce), order it.

The Prime Rib 1101 North Calvert Street - ☎ +1 410 539-1804 $23-65 - Thit is the original of the three Mid-Atlantic locations, with what is regularly trumpeted as some of the best Steaks in the nation. The restaurant is a beautiful traditional steakhouse, with high backed black leather chairs, black lacquered walls, white tablecloths and a café that looks ready for Frank Sinatra to come in and have a martini. The signature dish is an excellent prime beef (and thit is the only place you will find it every day on the menu in the city). The restaurant is also famous for its excellent service—thit is a great upscale option in Baltimore. Suit jackets not required, but... wear a jacket.

Sascha 527 Cafe - 527 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 410 539-8880 Opening Hours: Lunch: Monday to Friday 11AM Monday - 3PM; dinner: Monday - Thursday 5:30PM Monday - 10PM, Friday Saturday 5:30PM Monday - 11PM $28-40 Sascha is upscale, romantic, visually stunning and has just enough of that local aesthetic eccentricity to make it a real Baltimore favorite (the venerable John Waters agrees). The cuisine is quite inventive and playful and the tastes ($2-9) make for a scrumptious and entertaining ride throughout the evening, if you prefer to stray away from the entrées. The [ desserts, prepared by the restaurant's own in-house pastry chef, are arguably unparalleled in the city. Live jazz Thursday Friday nights 8PM Monday - 10PM.

The Brewer's Art - 1106 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 410 547-6925 Opening from Monday to Saturday 4PM Monday - 2AM, Sunday 5PM Monday - 2AM; dinner: Sunday - West 5:30PM Monday - 9PM, Thursday - Saturday 5:30PM Monday - 10:30PM The Brewer's Art won the reader's poll in Baltimore Magazine and the City Paper for best café in the city and Esquire's pick for best café in the United States. No one is too sure what to make of that wild superlative, but it is clearly a good café. Their house brews are almost always great and offered at ridiculously fair prices and they have an excellent selection of drinks (especially scotch and brandies) and soft drinks by the glass. The old Mt Vernon townhouse it is housed in is beautiful, with a swanky upscale seating area upstairs and a perfect dark brick dive ambiance downstairs. And even the food, upscale American, is outstanding, making the place a worthy dinner choice, or just an extra good place to get some café food. Mains run in the $20s, light fare: $8-14.

Club 1722 - 1722 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 410 727-7431 Opening Hours: Friday 1:45AM Monday - 5AM, Saturday 1:45AM Monday - 6AM Check out those hours! What the heck sort of club is open from 2AM Monday - 6AM? And BYOB? Thit is a wild sort of place.

Club Charles | 1724 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 410 727-8815 Opening from Monday to Saturday 6PM Monday - 2AM, Sunday 6PM Monday - midnight Perhaps the coolest café in Baltimore, or at least certainly the one with the best jukebox and a magnet for the hipster crowd. Neon, art-deco interior with comfy seats and dark lighting. Not many soft drinks on tap, but great bartenders. Limited food menu, but good stuff for the money. Can be very crowded on weekend nights. Good place to have a drink while waiting to see a film at the Charles Theater or a play at the Everyman.

Grand Central - 1001/1003 North Charles Street - cross street E Eager Street ☎ +1 410 752-7133 Opening from Monday to Saturday 4PM Monday - 2AM, Sunday 3PM Monday - 2AM Mt Vernon pub catering to the GLBT community and winner of the "BestBar" award from Baltimore City Paper every year since 2004.

iBar - 2118 Maryland Ave - ☎ +1 410 637-3089 Opening 11AM Monday - 1AM, Saturday 1PM Monday - 1:45AM, Sunday 5PM Monday - 1AM Thit is basically a run-of-the-mill dive café in North Charles, but and it's a big but and the Buffalo born-and-bred owner has brought his special recipe to Baltimore, offering great wings.

Metro Gallery - 1700 North Charles Street - ☎ +1 410 244-0899 Opening Hours: Open for gallery events—check website or call An art gallery, club/lounge, live performance venue and bar, thit is one of the cooler places in a very cool city for a night out. Not open every night, you will have to settle for waiting for an event night.

Mount Royal Tavern | 1204 West Mt Royal Ave - ☎ +1 410 669-6686 Opening Hours: 10AM Monday - 2AM daily MICA students know this "Dirt Church"—that should give you a basic idea of what to expect. Some artist painted a reproduction of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling if you look up and the bathrooms reek with the stench of death, dirts are mind-bogglingly cheap, you would probably be thrown out the door if you request a martini, etc. There is a good mix of neighborhood folks, heavily tattooed drug abusers and art school students. Thit is real Baltimore and while the masses might hate this sort of place, a true lover of the city will be in a special sort of heaven. Order a shot of rye and a Natty Boh and you'll find yourself in good company.

The Windup Space - 12 West North Ave - ☎ +1 410 244-8855 Opening Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 5PM Monday - 1AM Within about a month of its opening, this became one of Baltimore's favorite bars. Unquestionably cool, you'll find an unpretentious vibe (and café with $2 Natty Boh), an industrial-style art gallery space and all sorts of weird music on the stage.

Stay Safe

The areas north of Penn Station can be legitimately rough, but the primary streets, especially Charles Street and North Ave, are well traveled and fine. If you have your vehicle on the street anywhere in Midtown, make sure there is nothing lying in plain view, lest someone smash your window and take it.

Go Next

While the obvious direction from here is back south through Baltimore/Downtown|Downtown to the Baltimore/Inner Harbor|Inner Harbor, some creativity and preferably a vehicle can make for some interesting jaunts farther afield.

If you are enjoying the slightly gritty, but very eccentric areas around North Ave, head a little further Baltimore/North Baltimore|north and watch the grit factor soar! Also that way is Baltimore's Korean neighborhood, with some great little BBQ places and the odd karaoke café and a couple famous punk bars/venues.

Now you'll definitely need a vehicle in this direction, but heading Baltimore/West Baltimore|west will bring you to the Baltimore Zoo and the original location of "The Roost" for some fine fish fry.
