Wordless Wednesday: Baltimore

I never had time between all my weekends away to share my photos from one of those weekends, in Baltimore, MD. I really felt at home and can totally see myself living there one day, though I know most parts of Baltimore are not as “cute” as the parts I was hanging out in! Enjoy my photos :-)

Iced coffee, gross clothes, and #fitblognyc swag bag – travel standards.

Nomming on a packed salad while working on my paper during the car ride.

Right by our hotel!

Ridiculous amount of menus at Chazz.

Enjoying the Ginger Gin & Tonic made with ginger, cuke, and mint.

Better look at the drink. No it ain’t water.

We all shared a bunch of apps at Chazz’s happy hour – this was the Gorgonzola Beef Carpaccio.

Good old calamari with a fab aioli.

The super tentacley ones with less breading are my fave – more seafood!

Standard tomato bruschetta with goat cheese.

Veal meatball sliders with housemade chips.

My second drink, which my dad had to help me finish…the Pikesville Manhatta using a Maryland classic rye whiskey, with a brandied cherry. One of the best Manhattans I’ve ever tasted.

This Nutella jar on display was HUUUUGE!

Sis and I at da ba.

Sis, dad, and I outside of Chazz, ready to head to an Orioles game!

My most hated chain!

Buzzin’ in the Inner Harbor walking to the baseball game.

I love the Inner Harbor!

The coolest building I saw there.

We got these free bucket hats at the Orioles game!

Dad’s got his rally cap on.

BBQ at the ball game! Surprised by the options at the stadium for food. But that drink I’m holding was freaking gross.

Shared BBQ pulled pork sammie and sides for sis and I.

Way typical.

Next morning’s brunch bev of choice at Teavolve – Strawberry Basil Fizz.

But I had some of their coffee too!

Wheat toast, egg white omelette with CRAB and muchos veggies.

Purchased on SALE at South Moon Under :)

Haul from a cute boutique! Because I definitely need designer highlighters.

Hannah and I stumbled upon this gorgeous bar with cocktails comparable to Drink’s, called Wit & Wisdom, in the Four Seasons.

Perfect afternoon to sit outside with my drink, which included walnut bitters.

Hiding behind some fake dunes?

Hello, you.

Snagged this for just $20 at Urban Outfitters – it’ll pop up in a Fashion Friday soon enough!

My go-to margarita – natural, on the rocks, with EXTRA salt at Roy’s happy hour.

Marvelous marg!

Edamame in the beginning of the meal?! My kind of place!

Dad’s face when I clued him into the fact that edamame is full of soy protein!

Skinny Cosmo :D so pretty!

Mini smoked mahi tacos in a crunchy shell!

Mini shortrib tacos!

3 cheers for ICE CREAM from Haagen Dazs! Spiced caramel biscuit…AMAZING.

Pour-over coffee from Lamill for the ride home. So delicous (and it better be, it was like $4!)

And a Whole Foods salad BEAST for the ride home too. Can’t resist visiting other locations’ Whole Foods bars!

Have you ever been to Baltimore?

Do you usually pack food for road trips, or buy on the way?

Which nommm looks best to you?

      That’s why I selected that as my omelet’s protein addition – I couldn’t eat crab at least once while in Baltimore!

    I’m flying into Baltimore when I go to DC in October for my marathon trip so I am hoping during my vaca I get to spend a little bit of time there! I’ve always wanted to explore the harbor area. Oh, and I live for Nutella!

    Ha, I thought I was the only one who preferred the super tentacle-y calamari bit. Looks creepy, tastes like awesome.

    And those shoes…oh goodness, I love me a good pair of wedges. Especially for a good deal like that. :-)

    Why do you hate Cheesecake? Just curious。Also, love the dress from Urban Outfitter!

      Thanks girl! I dislike Cheesecake Factory (I guess hate is a mean word) strongly for a few reasons. Firstly, their menu is ridiculous and overwhelming and has ads in it. Secondly, I truly feel it is a factory. Every place is the same and I don’t feel any attempt at a connection made with the customer from any location I’ve been to – I just feel like I’m seated, they want to get me my food, and then I’m just out of there. Thirdly, everything is ridiculously overly huge. I know they have those smaller portioned items now but they haven’t seemed to put as much effort into that portion of the menu as other portions. Fourthly, people are obsessed with it and will seriously wait up to three hours to eat there when I have never EVER had an experience there that was anything but forgettable, and that bothers me. OK I’m done now hahaha

        You are so funny. I do not hate cheesecake but I do find the food portion is TOO big. Do you find the dress too short? Can you pose some your weight training workout? Love the picture from Boston ( you have some serious guns!)

          Thanks you are so sweet! I mean I do like Cheesecake Factory’s cheesecake hahah I have to say that. Do you mean the Urban Outfitters dress?? It is a bit short when I bend over, haha, but I keep an eye out so I don’t uhh “reveal” anything! I actually don’t have a strength training regimen, set workout, I just freestyle each workout to what I feel like doing. However my friend Heather of For the Love of Kale has posted a ton of great upper body workouts that I have pinned on my #Fitfluential Pinterest board: http://pinterest.com/caitplusate/fitfluential/

    I just got excited over like 459438759 things in this post! First, that Sonia Kashuk bag! I have literally been searching high and low for it for months and they are nowhere to be found! It’s the most elusive thing ever! If I had one, I wouldn’t get rid of it either, but geez!
    Second, that jar of nutella. Holy cow!
    And third, those shoes! *squeeee* I love nautical wedges, and you did a great job finding some that are classy and fun! My wallet, on the other hand, is really really mad at you for introducing me to South Moon Under.

    I live right down the road from Baltimore (1/2 way between Bmore and DC) so get in there quite often. There are some really great spots there. Glad you had fun here (and are spreading the word!)
