The Experience

It started with a laugh from our guide, Marcus, when I tried to pronounce “Berger” the Baltimore way — pretty sure I got it wrong. We met just off Thames Street in Fells Point, right where the brick sidewalks wobble under your feet and there’s that salty river smell mixed with something frying nearby. Marcus waved us over, already holding a tray of something golden (turns out: crab balls). He said, “First rule: never ask for Old Bay on everything… but also, maybe do.” That set the mood.

We wandered past rowhouses with crooked shutters and stopped at a spot where the bartender called out regulars by name. The Maryland crab cake was all lump meat — no filler — and I’m not kidding, I still think about that first bite. There was a bit of lemon zest on my fingers after. At one point, someone asked about the old port history and Marcus pointed to these iron rings in the sidewalk, explaining how ships used to tie up right there. It’s weird to imagine all that under today’s buzz of people and music drifting from open doors.

There were other stops too: Polish pierogi at a family-run place (I didn’t expect that), then something spicy I couldn’t pronounce — Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin, probably butchered it. We shared stories over drinks; one guy in our group had grown up nearby and told us about sneaking into bars before they checked IDs. By dessert (a kind of gooey chocolate cookie), the sun was low over the water and you could hear gulls fighting over scraps down by the docks. The whole thing felt like Baltimore letting its guard down for a few hours.
