Baltimore History Bite
Lexington Market has been feeding Baltimore since 1782 — making it the oldest continuously operating public market in America. Generations of Baltimoreans have grabbed crab cakes, pit beef, and Berger cookies under one roof.
The newly renovated space keeps the legacy going — swing by and taste some history.
Local Insider Tip
Pro Move: Planning to hit the Street Food Festival? Walk a few blocks east and sneak in a no-reservation lunch at Angie’s Seafood.
No wait, less crowd, and their crab cake sandwich might be one of the city’s best-kept secrets.
Have A Great Weekend!
