During your Baltimore vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Jewish Museum of Maryland
A visit here offers insight on local Jewish history, a glimpse of Jewish traditions, and a look at the immigration experience. Two 19th-century synagogues are worth a look. The 1945 Lloyd Street Synagogue is Maryland's oldest and one of the oldest in the U.S. It's plainer than the nearby B'nai Israel Synagogue, but it also has a matzo oven, a mikvah (ritual bath), and a classroom where the first Hebrew school got its start. There's also a hands-on exhibit for children. "The Golden Land: A Jewish Family Learning Place" focuses on the immigrant experience in this neighborhood over the past 2 centuries. The Greek Revival-style B'nai Israel Synagogue, built in 1876, contains what may be the oldest Jewish star in one of its stained-glass windows. Its Ark is a hand-carved masterpiece. Between the two is the exhibit space and library. The exhibits change often but always focus on Jewish religion and culture. Look for exhibits on German Jewish refugees and the Jewish summer camp experience in 2004 and 2005. The museum shop is filled with Judaica, CDs, books, and kids' stuff.
Homewood House
If you have time, visit both Evergreen and Homewood (they are a mile apart) to see how differently the rich lived in different centuries. Homewood was designed and built by the son of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Built in 1801, this five-part classic Palladian home is a dazzling example of Federal architecture. Its interiors boast superb woodcarving, plaster ornamentation, and an array of fanlights. It's painted in a rainbow of soothing colors and decorated in pieces of the time, some from the Carroll family. Highlights are the main hall, the family sitting room with toys and doll furniture, the music room, the long lemon-yellow hall, and the master bedroom with its high cove ceiling and bookcases tucked into the sides of the fireplace. The drapes, carpets, and upholstery, though not original, are period reproductions. Tours last about 45 minutes. Changing exhibits in the main hall often focus on the decorative arts or architecture.
Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
This church has been a monument to religious freedom since 1806. Designed by Benjamin Latrobe -- who was designing the U.S. Capitol at the same time -- the neoclassical basilica is considered one of the most beautiful churches in the country. A national shrine and historic landmark, it was the first cathedral built in the United States. It's a beautiful neoclassical gem visited by Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, and Pope John Paul II, as well as numerous other religious and political figures. Restoration work begins in earnest in 2004, but the basilica will stay open until January 2005. Then it will close for 18 months.
Peabody Court Hotel
The name has changed back to an old familiar one, but it's still a Clarion property. This Mount Vernon-area hotel continues to offer the first-class service that has kept it in business since 1930. The boutique-style hotel, which underwent extensive renovation in 2003, has maintained its European-style ambience in its small, luxurious lobby. Guest rooms are polished -- traditional furnishings and gold and maroon upholstery with some of the biggest rooms in the city. The light-bathed corner rooms have upwards of 600 square feet (not including the bathroom). Ask for a room that overlooks Baltimore's most beautiful and historic square. The hotel is close to the Peabody Institute, Walters Art Museum, and Mount Vernon restaurants and shops. The walk to the Inner Harbor takes 20 minutes or so -- and it's all downhill (so of course the walk back is uphill). The restaurant, George's, is casual and not too pricey with several dinner entrees in the $12 range.
Inn at Henderson's Wharf
The Inn at Henderson's Wharf offers gracious waterfront surroundings on the water at Fells Point, a few blocks from the Inner Harbor, with comfortable rooms facing either the water or a central courtyard with English-style gardens. Rooms have exposed brick walls, large windows, and feather beds. Convenience is key here, from all the amenities in guest rooms to the free parking. You can even come by boat and dock in the marina at the front door. The inn takes up part of this redevelopment of an old railroad warehouse. Residences fill the rest. Hurricane Isabel caused severe damage here in fall 2003, forcing it to close for repairs until late spring 2004.
Hyatt Regency Baltimore
The eye-catching all-glass Hyatt was the Inner Harbor's first hotel 20 years ago, and it's still the best. Sure, Baltimore has more luxury hotels now, but the Hyatt still has the best location. It's a short walk across a skywalk to the Inner Harbor, another skywalk to the convention center, and a few blocks to the stadiums. Rooms have breathtaking harbor views, and amenities are terrific. It's often busy but not too noisy. Staff here couldn't be nicer. The rooms are your standard hotel chain style, but there are several choices, including 25 junior suites and VIP rooms. Kids under 18 stay free, and if your family needs two rooms, the second one's half-price.
