During your Baltimore vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Contemporary Museum
The Contemporary Museum offers shows in its Mount Vernon home but sometimes will exhibit art on the sides of buildings or buses or other community setting. Its home is a small storefront near the Walters, with small galleries for shows distinctly contemporary, the art of our time. Photography, video, painting, and performance art have all been the focus of past shows. About four shows per year are scheduled. It's a nice counterpoint to its neighbors, the elegant Walters and the traditional Maryland Historical Society, both a block or so away. Hours are generally Thursday to Saturday, 12-5pm but since they vary with exhibitions, and the museum is closed between exhibitions, calling ahead is a must.
Star-Spangled Banner Flag House
Everyone remembers Betsy Ross and the first American flag. Baltimoreans recall Mary Pickersgill and the 15-star flag she sewed. It flew over Fort McHenry during the bombardment of the War of 1812 that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." Though the flag is now part of the Smithsonian, its seamstress is remembered in the 1793 house where she lived. Guides offer visitors a glimpse of her life and times. See period furniture and artifacts of the war. A giant glass flag dominates a 2003 addition. Visitors can walk up the stairs behind it and get a sense of how big the star-spangled banner really is. The addition, which is handicapped-accessible, has an orientation theatre, children's hands-on room, and exhibit space. In 2004-05 it is due to offer exhibits on the Chesapeake Bay Campaign of the War of 1812, Mary Pickersgill, and American flags.
Edgar Allan Poe's Grave
Three modest memorials in this old graveyard recall the poet who wrote "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Raven" (the only poem to inspire an NFL team's name). After his mysterious death at age 40 in 1849, Poe's relatives erected a small gravestone. Before the stone could be installed, a train crashed through the monument yard and destroyed it. In the century since, the site has been adorned with three newer monuments: the main memorial, which features a bas-relief bust of Poe; a small gravestone adorned with a raven at Poe's original burial lot; and a plaque placed by the French, who, thanks to the poet Baudelaire, enjoy some of the best translations of Poe's works. The poet is remembered on his birthday every January 19 when a mysterious "Poe Toaster" leaves half a bottle of cognac and three roses at the grave. On the weekend closest to Poe's birthday, a party is held in his honor. A Halloween tour is also scheduled each year.
Abacrombie
Guest performers with the Baltimore Symphony often choose this inviting B&B across from the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Not only is it convenient to the Meyerhoff, Lyric Opera House, and the Maryland Institute College of Art, it has a touch of European hospitality. Guest rooms, decorated with vintage furnishings and prints dressed with big bows, are cheery and bright. All have private baths. The owners, former Ritz-Carlton employees, have added luxurious touches, including robes and fine toiletries. Ask for a room at the end of the hall if you like more spacious accommodations. These have the most square footage and biggest windows. Most of these also have double sinks in a niche outside the bathrooms. The other double rooms are only a bit smaller. Single rooms are tiny with charming beds. Two connect to double rooms, perfect for families. Rollaway beds are available. A small restaurant and bar has just been opened on the ground floor.
Harbor Court Hotel
The Harbor Court strives for quiet dignity, refinement, and graciousness. It's a treat to walk in the door, and when you spend the night, prepare to be pampered. Rooms are exquisitely furnished, from suites with hand-painted decorations, marble bathrooms, kitchenettes, and canopy beds to large standard rooms outfitted in fine furnishings. The hotel overlooks the harbor, but only a few rooms have a clear harbor view. Dining options include two first-rate restaurants: Hampton's and Brighton's, which serves a rich afternoon tea; and the Explorer's Lounge, which offers music every night and is popular with locals as well as hotel guests.
Pier 5 Hotel
Be prepared for something wild when you walk into the lobby of the Pier 5. It's bright and airy, and it's fun to settle back into those offbeat sofas. The rooms continue the lobby's purple, red, and yellow color scheme, though much quieter and more refined. Standard rooms are quite comfortable and have lots of conveniences for both the business traveler and the tourist. Suites are luxurious with one, two, or even three tiny balconies overlooking the water or the National Aquarium next door. Just about every room has a water view -- and a much closer one than any of the other hotels because the hotel is only two stories high and right on the water. They offer lots of packages with local attractions that both adults and children will enjoy; and a few for romance, too. Three restaurants are on property: The new Peacock Cafe is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; McCormick & Schmick's offers lunch and dinner; EurAsian Harbor is open for dinner.
