BALTIMORE - WHERE TO EAT

Baltimore is one of the few parks where we suggest that you actually eat inside the stadium. Boog's Barbecue offers great roast beef and turkey sandwiches, but make sure to slap on plenty of onions, mayo, and BBQ sauce to really enjoy it. There is also the Pastimes cafe which offers meals and fruit platters in a cafeteria - expensive, but good.

For those of you who want to sample some other fare, there are a number of restaurants close to Camden Yards. The most obvious would be the ESPN Zone, located a few blocks east of Pratt Street, right in the inner harbor. This restaurant has plenty of screens to keep you up-to-date on the sports happenings of the day, but the food is a bit expensive. Upstairs is the game room, with a wide variety of sports video games to pass the time.

We also tried Max's Camden Yards at 300 Pratt Street, a couple of blocks away from the ballyard. Good Jerk Chicken Strips there, but their beer selection was limited on the day we went.

Finally, the usual tourist restaurants (Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood, etc). are scattered around the Inner Harbor. All of these places are a quick walk from Camden Yards, so you will have no problem finding good eats before or after the game.
