Best Date Spots in...Baltimore

Heritage Mazda Bel Air, Catonsville & Towson knows finding the perfect date spot is tricky and subjective. It depends on the couple's interests and level of commitment. There are date spots in Baltimore that possess excellent date potential whether it's your first date or whether you've been married for twenty years, and whether you're looking for a night of fun or looking for a long term relationship.

The Inner Harbor. It's unlikely that when the Inner Harbor was established in the 1600s it was much of a date spot. It is now. A stroll along the Harbor makes a great prelude to dinner, especially in the spring or fall. The following attractions make their home in or near the Harbor.

• The National Aquarium. A visit to the National Aquarium allows you and your date to see one of the world's finest aquariums and provides an opportunity for conversation, hand-holding, hugging, and other dating activities. The aquarium holds over 600 species, more than 16,000 animals, immersion tours, a Dolphin Discovery, and daily 4-D shows. Give yourself and your date a few hours to explore the aquarium and if all goes well...
• Harborplace and the Gallery. Calling the Harborplace and the Gallery a shopping mall is like calling the Taj Mahal a building. This outdoor shopping mall has local and national stores as well as a slew of dining options. The Gallery also hosts special events between May and October, so grab that special someone and get going.
• Maryland Science Center. Science and romance can go together and the hands on activities at the Maryland Science Center might lead to some hands on activities afterwards if you master the science of romance. The center, in addition to the hands on exhibits, features a planetarium (for romantic star-gazing) and an IMAX theater.
• Oriole Park at Camden Yards. There is a lot of down time in a baseball game, a perfect opportunity for a romantic couple to reacquaint themselves. The Orioles play 81 home games between April and October in one of the nation's most beautiful ball parks (insert your own baseball/dating metaphor here).
• Clipper City. Clipper City offers dinner cruises around Baltimore's Inner Harbor on—you guessed it—a clipper ship.

Restaurants. Don't overthink the date. Sometimes a romantic evening at one of Baltimore's fine restaurants makes for a great date. Whether you prefer French, Italian, Chinese, American, or any other type of food, there's a romantic spot in Baltimore for you. There are too many great restaurants to list here, but the Gayot restaurant guide lists all types of restaurants for all kind of dates.

Bars and Taverns. There are as many bars and lounges in Baltimore as there are restaurants. Those suitable for dates include Illusions Magic Bar and Lounge in Federal Hill where you and your date can enjoy fun, magic, suspense, and a few drinks. Salt Tavern on Pratt Street also has much to offer the romantic couple looking for good food and good conversation.

Have fun!
