"To find Thames Street Oyster House, head towards the water and cobblestoned streets of Fells Point. Inside is a raw bar with plenty of local oysters to choose from and a great take on Baltimore’s favorite drink, the orange crush. But the vibe tends to veer more towards New England, with dishes like Block Island scallops or the lobster roll on a warm, buttered bun. Generally expect to wait a while for a table (ask about seats on the back patio), but you can walk around a beautiful neighborhood while you bide your time." - Jess Mayhugh
