Going to Baltimore

    And I don't want to crap on Camden Yards itself, though I still think prices are pretty outrageous. It will be hard to find a better total experience in MLB.

    The Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum is a couple of blocks away from Camden Yards. Well worth seeing.

    I'd echo the sentiments about the ballpark and the game experience. Only thing I missed that I wanted to try was Dempsey's restaurant at the ballpark, but I was perfectly happy with crabcakes and fries at the game. In my experience it wasn't any more pricey than other MLB parks. There are a handful of places right across the street.

    Go to Alewife. It's at 21 N. Eutaw Street, exactly four blocks from the ballpark. Really great draught beer selection. Best in town outside of Max's, as mentioned earlier on the thread.

    Also recommend checking out Cross Street Market. Also walking distance from the park. Great selection of food, from raw bars to wings to freshly made everything. Neat shops, too. The whole Federal Hill area has some cool spots. Brewer's Cask over there is supposed to have great beer selection, but I can't verify.

    We decided to stay a little further away from the stadium(about four miles away) I was wondering if anyone knew about shuttle services that some places may offer?

    Thanking you in advance.

    I've had success with the Metro light rail, which has a stop right by Camden Yards.

    Can't speak for hotel shuttles, if that's what you mean.

    Pratt Street Ale House is a little generic, for me. Pregame go to Pickles. Great atmosphere. Cheap beer. And good food, no lie. Get inside the park and hit the Natty Boh bar by the end of the 1st inning so you an get $5 drafts.

    In Little Italy Amicci's will leave you fat and happy. Great food. Not a long walk. Well worth it. Little Italy in general is always recommended. Lots of great stuff there.

    Any place serving pit beef is also good.

    Miss Shirley's for breakfast is something some friends of mine always recommend.

    This. Even in the Inner Harbor I got approached by panhandlers.

    I don't make eye contact and just keep walking at a steady pace.
