HOW IT STARTED
LONGSTANDING PUBLIC MARKETS
Lexington Market has been part of the taste and character of Baltimore for more than 200 years. Although the building is currently undergoing a renovation, you can still sample a variety of foods, including Baltimore staples such as crab cakes and raw oysters from fourthgeneration Faidley’ s Seafood, founded in 1886. Two other historic markets have also been recently revitalized: Cross Street Market in Federal Hill and Broadway Market in Fell’ s Point; both feature international food stalls alongside traditional market vendors.

HOW IT’ S GOING
TRENDY FOOD HALLS
Food halls with cafeteriastyle service are all the rage in Baltimore, and the spaces are as unconventionale as their offerings. Mount Vernon Marketplace is set in a former department store warehouse; R. House in Remington is in a former auto showroom; and Whitehall Market in Hampden is in a historic mill. At any space, you can sample flavors from a variety of local chefs under one roof!
