Ranked on of the top three aquariums in the U.S.! It is located in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, another cute area to explore. It has colorful aquatic creatures like sharks, dolphins, exotic fish and diverse collections of plants and animals like crocodiles, puffins and reptiles. The bride and groom's favorites are the 225,000-gallon shark alley, a spiral staircase fully surrounded by the shark tank, and the massive tropical blacktip reef that welcomes you when you arrive.

Outdoor, waterfront shopping for farm fresh items, bites, and locally made gifts. The original farmer’s market took place at the same location in 1700s. Look for the original stall numbers etched into the curbs surrounding Broadway Square!

The bride has minimal interest in crabs and prefers to avoid senseless violence in her cooking. The groom chose violence. We pulled these suggestions from a few Food & Wine articles! Don't forget the Old Bay (shoutout to our Old Bay Margarita curling team)!

Crab consumption takes on many forms in Baltimore: crab cakes, crab soup, crab pretzels, crab dip, and crab fries. But the true Maryland crab experience involves cracking whole crabs over a paper-strewn table with family and friends, relishing each bite as fingers turn red from Old Bay seasoning. And our preferred cooking method is steamed, not boiled. Notably, Crab season is from March-November, so you’re all set for local crabs on wedding weekend.

Locust Point (L.P.) Steamers - Whenever Battello executive chef Christopher Zabita visits Baltimore, he always ends his trip with Locust Point Steamers, where he orders "A Boh't Load of Food" — heaping servings of steamed crabs, mussels, oysters, scallops, shrimp, lobster, and a pitcher of beer. "It's great to share and gives you a little taste of everything," Zabita says. If you also make this a must-stop, come prepared to stand around: "There's always a line around the block," Zabita shares. "But it's definitely worth the wait."

Choptank - Situated in the renovated Broadway Market (in walking distance from the Sagamore Pendry Hotel!), this bustling seafood house is the place to pick seasonal blue crabs in the heart of historic Fells Point. The sprawling setup with a big outdoor bar keeps diners entertained with alfresco ping pong and pool tables, plus live local music on its indoor stage.

Bo Brooks - Alex Eusebio, executive chef and owner of Cascabel Restaurant, says Baltimore's Bo Brooks is "hands down, the best atmosphere to eat crabs overlooking the harbor." Here, you should splurge on at least a dozen jumbo crabs, he instructs, and soak up a beer with a crab pretzel. But did we mention the view? "The location of the restaurant is idyllic for enjoying the Baltimore waterfront lifestyle," Eusebio says. "There is nothing like sitting on the water, picking crabs, drinking beers and watching the sun set over the harbor on one of our famously hot, humid summer nights in Baltimore."
