Without getting stabbed?

Heading down in a few hours, will be there thru Weds evening. Plan on going to Baltimore tonight, and then DC tomorrow night. Looking for anything fun/exciting at night, from restaurants, bars, strip clubs, sports games, etc.

Ray Lewis retired years ago. Getting shot on the other hand... :)

In Baltimore, I like the Power Plant area. It feels pretty safe and there is a lot to do. The ESPN Zone is fun and right near there is the Aquarium which is a good one. There is plenty of food around, Chipotle, Fago de Chao, McCormick and Schmidt - the Crab deck is good on a nice day, but expensive.

In DC there is so much to do. Stick near the mall area and you can visit all the free smithsonian museums and monuments.

Stay out of Baltimore, it's a shit hole. But if you must, just go around the harbor.

In DC stick to the NW area for the nicer places and bars. I am a fan of Georgetown.

Hop the fence at 2 am and try to visit the White House by going in the back door. I guarantee you won't be stabbed.
Probably right. But maybe I'll just get tased??

I'm acfually like 15 mind just south of Baltimore... Not much going on here... Going to go to Golfsmith about 35 mind north of here to hit golf balls... Maybe a not ghetto neighborhood week have a nice place to eat after.

Tempted to go to a bar after.. But.... Monday night... Means only the crazy drunks are out.

Even for people who live in Baltimore traveling to Washington, while technically only 45 minutes, is quite an ordeal =)

The aquarium is probably the best... and most expensive thing to do at the inner harbor. Its honestly a bit of a tourist trap these days IMO. DC is just expensive as hell but has great food. You for the most part can't go wrong just picking someplace that looks nice. Parking/walking there however is a logistical nightmare.

Inner Harbor area. Fells Point is kind of fun as well. There's a few good bars and restaurants in Hampden, but its a little far out from the harbor.

Update: just projectile vomited all over this random bathroom here at this conference after getting wild in DC last night. Fun fun.

Was just in the harbor a few weeks ago. ESPN zone is gone. Go to Ekiben a few blocks up if you're in that area, soooooooooo good. Otherwise dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge your way to safety.

baltimore... the harbor area is nice, you can check out the national aquarium. If you like seafood and greek food, checkout Ouzo Bay which is in Harbor East

dc... museums museums museums... so many to choose from. you can walk up and down the mall and hop in different ones. my favorites are natural history and air space. food recommendations, check out georgetown for sure... i'm a fan of fiola mare for seafood which is right on the water
