Food Scene

This shop is just behind our house when you exit the yard from the back gate. It is the only roastery in Annapolis and serves wonderful signature items that rotate monthly, cold brews, and very delicious coffee of every kind. Also a great place to pick up gifts.

Fox's Den is the best place in the city to order a gimlet (vodka or gin), which is not on the menu but I promise will be hands down the best gimlet you've ever had! Their pizza is also great. The menu is small but changes frequently and they do a great job on everything. It can be tough to find. You will simply see a sign with the outline of a fox face....descend the stairs next to the sign.

The Boatyard is another local favorite, where they televise and cheer on the sailors in the Wednesday night races sponsored by the Annapolis Yacht Club across the street. They have a raw bar and are known for their crab cakes. They also have a lively bar (although it closes early), and have a monthly full moon party. Their breakfast is excellent. You really can't go wrong with the simple local menu at this restaurant. This is a good place for families too.

Vin 909 only serves beer and wine and not liquor. It's a fantastic pizza place and the locals also rave about their mussels. They don't take reservations and are very popular so go early or expect a wait.

The best bagels in town. We have relatives that live in NYC and even they rave about Naval Bagels. They close at 3, and sell day-olds at the end of the day. Grab a bag on your way home!

We don't have a ton of ethnic food in Annapolis but we do have some great Thai, and Lemongrass never disappoints if that's what you're looking for. There are 2 Lemongrass restaurants in Annapolis and the other one (on Housley Rd) has much better parking and usually no wait, however it is in a strip mall and not on West St. Lol

Metropolitan has a nice rooftop lounge and a good menu if you have a vegetarian in your group. (Vegetarian can be tough in Annapolis). They also have happy hour and live music on the weekends.

Drinks & Nightlife

Davis's Pub is a VERY casual place featured on "Diners, Dives, and Drive-Thrus". It has the best crab pretzel in town. It's quite small and serves mostly bar food but does a good job of it. It's in a neighborhood of Annapolis called Eastport which is across the Spa Creek bridge and worth a visit.

A small venue (350 seats?) with a nice line up of artists. Unfortunately, I would not recommend eating there. However, Rams Head is also a brewery and they have great beer. Their monthly beer release party is on the first Thursday of every month.

We really enjoy spending time at this outdoor theatre in the summer. You are right by the harbor downtown and have many restaurant and bar options for before and after the show also.

The history of the Naval Academy and the beautiful tour of the waterfront belonging to the academy will put you in a very patriotic mood. It's gorgeous and not to be missed.

This is one of the oldest colleges in the country and absolutely beautiful. Founded in 1696, the college continues to provide an education using the "Great Books" program. With less than 500 students, almost 3/4 of the graduates go on the grad school.

Shopping

Maryland Ave has some shops that are often missed by tourists, as most go to the Main St shops. It's a nice spot in the city worth the short walk from Main St.

West Annapolis is a small shopping district with a couple of neat places. Two restaurants are Evelyn's (breakfast/brunch), and Flamant (dinner). There is a yahoo famous coffee shop called the Bean Rush Cafe. I also love the consignment shop One Petticoat Lane.

Everything Else

As the state capital, Annapolis has the state governmental buildings and the governor's mansion. A quick walking tour will give you a view as you head from Main St to Maryland Ave.
