515 W Fayette StThe USS Constellation is cool to see and a great story in and of itself. It is the only remaining combat ship afloat from the Civil War. But it didn't start out that way. Originally built in 1797 in Fell's Point for the US Navy, it underwent "repair" in 1854 - a brand new ship was built around the original ship using creative budgeting!

Di Pasquale's is a Baltimore institution. Opened over 100 years ago in a residential neighborhood and operated by the same family since then, it is hands-down the best Italian food you will find in Baltimore and the equal of anything you will find on the east coast.

All I can say is I took an extended trip to Greece, came back, ate at Samos, and really couldn't tell the difference between that and Greece. If you like Greek food, go!
