Can you say “Bawlmer”? If you need a lesson on the correct pronunciation, just head to north Baltimore’s Hampden. The 19th century industrial neighborhood still exudes the character of its blue-collar roots but has become the Hipster hotspot in Charm City. Stroll the “Avenue” (36th Street) to find eclectic boutiques, funky bars and restaurants built for foodies. The neighborhood is bordered by beautiful green spaces – Roosevelt Park, Wyman Park, and the Jones Falls. If you want to experience the REAL Baltimore, it doesn’t get more authentic than this!
