There's more to Federal Hill -- or Fed Hill, as the locals call it -- than meets the eye. While it's known for its college crowd, Fed Hill is way more than a collection of bars. There are plenty of tasty bites, crafty cocktails, creative spaces, and fascinating history to be found among the brickfront rowhomes and alleyways of this neighborhood on the harbor.
A BYOB spot with a menu full of gourmet French fries? Yes, please.
You don't have to be visiting the AVAM in order to enjoy this hidden gem tucked away on the top floor of the museum.
A truly one-of-a-kind museum, don’t come here expecting to see run-of-the-mill works of art. A celebration of creativity, the AVAM specializes in “outsider art,” or works created by untrained artists. The permanent collection includes everything from painted screens, which have been a Baltimore row home institution since 1913, to sculptures built with matchsticks. Be sure to stop in SIDESHOW for a quirky souvenir. It might be the best gift shop in the history of museums.
