The drama of "you must do this in [enter city] before you die" is so over the top. Why not just call it "Ten things I recommend to do in Baltimore". UGHHH.
Now Vaccaro's is the best Italian bakery in Baltimore, no doubt. The Owl Bar was a neat place to go 20 years ago....not now IMHO. Gertrudes? Geeez, it's a museum restaurant that offers sub-par "chic Museum" food. Clearly whoever wrote this doesn't know what he/she is talking about.
There is no mention of going on a boat in the harbor, going to the best retro-stadium in MLB (Camden Yards) or even heading down to Fells Point. Not impressed.
