Cross Street Market

 Baltimore's Cross Street Market is a grocery store unlike any supermarket-- it's a fresh, fantastic experience with many hard-to-find items in one place. At nighttime, Cross Street turns into a hip, happening bar serving fresh seafood, cocktails and cold beer. All in all, Cross Street is as versatile as it is delicious. 

With more than two-dozen vendors selling everything from produce to baked goods to meat, seafood and fresh-squeezed juice, the Cross Street Market is a chef's dream. However, even the culinarily-challenged will enjoy their time at Cross Street, as several restaurants and take-out vendors are on-site. 

Some popular vendors include the Cross Street Cafe (made famous for its Bruce Lee chicken wings), Nick's Inner Harbor Seafood and Raw Bar (considered to be Baltimore's best seafood), Dinner at Your Door (a meal delivery service), Big Jim's Deli (you can't miss Jim's overstuffed sandwiches), Juice Phoria juice bar, The Sweet Shop, Piedigrotta Italian Bakery and The Chicken Box (famous for its juicy fried chicken).
