While Baltimore, Maryland is known for the Inner Harbor, the East Coast city has so much more to offer with food and drinks that can’t be found in other cities. When visiting Baltimore, these five foods should be on your list of ones to try.
Maryland Blue Crab
We couldn’t make a list without talking about crab. The Maryland blue crab, which turns red when it’s steamed, can be eaten steamed, in a soft shell, made into crab dib, or turned in crab cake.
Old Bay
You can’t have crab without smothering it in Old Bay. In addition to crab, Old Bay can be used to spice mac and cheese, potato salad, chicken, and popcorn.
Natty Boh
This beer, which is a staple at any college in Maryland, was first brewed in Baltimore in 1885. If you go to an Orioles game, you have to sip on a Natty Boh.
Snowball
Snowballs are shaved ice that’s flavored with syrup and sometimes topped with marshmallow. Popular flavors include Egg Custard, Skylight, and Tutti Frutti.
Berger Cookies
This soft vanilla shortbread cookie topped with thick chocolate ganache icing, originated in Baltimore in 1835 after the Berger family brought their German chocolate recipes to the city.
