Baltimore - Inner Harbor: Restaurants and Grocery Stores?

Okay, so my brother is a Law student and he'll be working in Baltimore this summer for a few months. His birthday is in a few days and I figured that it would be cool to get him a gift certificate to someplace near where he lives or works for the summer.



Works at Calvert and Baltimore street (at the Court)



Lives near Martin Luther King and Pratt St.



Any cool restaurants? American style dining works... or just generally cool places.



Any supermarket type places around there so he can buy some food?



I researched some stuff online, but I figure that Baltimore folks know the best.

I'm not sure what area your brother is coming from or has lived in before, and so don't know what he is familiar with... but as far as supermarkets go, Wegmans and Traders Joes are both great (though very different from one another). Neither are located super close to where he will be living or working, but both are worth a trip (if he has a car). Wegmans is like a mecca for people who love food.



I don't live in Baltimore, so I'll leave it to locals to suggest restaurants.



Nice gift idea for your brother, though!



Edit: The DC/Baltimore Chowhound board would be a great place to ask for restaurant suggestions. Give them the specifics, as you did here. http://chowhound.chow.com/boards/14Baltimore - Inner Harbor: Restaurants and Grocery Stores?
There is a Superfresh supermarket on Charles Street, a couple blocks from Calvert and Baltimore.



There are numerous restaurants in the area. Many like the Little Italy area.Baltimore - Inner Harbor: Restaurants and Grocery Stores?
I only know one place. It's G%26amp;M Seafood in Baltimore - famous for their crabcakes. Trust me, they are the best.
