One of my favorite and more interesting places to visit is Lexington Market. I should correct myself, the "The World Famous Lexington Market", because that is what the sign says out front. You can see the sign on the adjoining parking lot, because it looms large on the West Side. The Market has so much to offer, I am not sure where to start. First, there is the food which is in abundance. From fresh seafood to produce, you can do some serious shopping here. It is a major depot for lunch goers during the week, and the food isn't bad. When I first moved here, I was introduced to one of the major delicacies of Baltimore which is the Berger cookie. It is cookie Nirvana if you ask me, but you can be the judge of that. There are sweets shops a plenty, so if you do have a hankering for chocolate covered pretzels, get them there.
What is amazing about this place are the people . There are tons of people there, just hanging out all day. Even better, there are places that serve alcohol. People are there eating and drinking earlier in the morning and until the place shuts down! But, even if you never make your way into the Market, you will certainly be effected by the traffic out front. If you are traveling along Eutaw st., be careful. The people that are coming and going into the Market pay no heed to the traffic lights. If they see a chance to make it across the street, even if you car is barreling at them, they will take it. I find myself drawn into extreme cross walking, when I go to the Market, so beware!
