Federal
Hill - Just a short walk from the Inner Harbor
lays the historic neighborhood of Federal Hill. When
the federal Constitution was ratified, the residents
held a boisterous celebration and parade on the hill
that overlooks Baltimore and as a result, Federal
Hill was born. In 1875, Baltimore acquired the hill
and it is now a park with a cannon as a reminder of
the Civil War.
Cross Street Market, located in
Federal Hill, is a historic, operating, public farmer’s
market. Founded in 1845, the market is now home to
28 vendors who sell among other items, cheese, doughnuts,
health foods, and a raw bar complete with clams and
oysters. Packaged foods are also available for those
who are picnicking in the area later in the day. The
market is open from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday-Thursday
and 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Mingled among the historic row homes visitors will
find Art Galleries, a gourmet kitchen
store, a wine and cheese shop, and various other specialty
boutique shops.
This part of town also has some amazing Restaurants.
Options include Indian, Latin, Mexican, Southwestern,
Cuban, Mediterranean, and vegetarian fares along with
traditional American pub cuisine and drinks. A raw
bar, sushi, and coffee bar are also among the selections
