Edo Sushi
201 E Pratt St
Baltimore, MD 21202

A lot of out of town friends and acquaintances have told me sushi in Vancouver is great. I have always wondered why. I mean, there has been a lot of complains regarding the quality here which means we see things in a completely different perspective. That is, either their sushi offerings in other places are so bad that average ones found here are extremely good; or most of us have become extremely picky and the sushi here is indeed good.
With that in mind, when I was in Baltimore, I had to visit a sushi restaurant just to check this. Fortunately, by Wednesday, the weather improved and could walk a bit farther from my hotel. In this case, about 10 or so blocks from the hotel is Baltimore’s Harborplace and here was a block full of restaurants including Edo Sushi.

On my second night on Baltimore, although weather improved a little bit (but not by much), I wanted to play safe so, again, I ended up dining in a nearby place. Sure I could have gone to Mick O’Shea’s again, why not try somewhere else? So, again, on the same block, I went to the next busiest place: Ban Thai Restaurant…

I arrived at Baltimore Washing International airport (BWI) at around 7:00 p.m. but did not get to the hotel until 8:20 p.m. It wasn’t because it was far but rather the confusing directions in the airport. It took me a while to find the baggage area and after that find the appropriate way around to get transportation to the hotel. In the end, I managed to find an information kiosk and, as per their suggestion, I ended up taking a shuttle. It was $14, which is not bad considering I paid over $40 in cab fares on my way back from the hotel to the airport on my last day…
Anyway, after checking in, I was wasted. I hadn’t had anything to eat since a scone I had almost 11 hours earlier. I was willing to walk a bit to find a good place to eat however, given the time and the weather (it was quite windy and raining lightly), I had to settle for anything close by. And that place close by was Mick O’Shea’s, a pub a block away from the hotel.

Finally, part 3 of this serie. You can find the other two parts below:
I spent four nights in Baltimore, which translates into four breakfasts. I would have counted the one I had in YVR but it was just a scone from Starbucks. Not really worth talking about it… Anyway, since I was in a constant rush, I could only stop in places nearby and something that would have been prepared in a couple of minutes. At the same time, I wanted to avoid MickeyD’s… So, I ended up going to these places:

I must admit part 1 of the photo essay was not that… Interesting… I hope this second one is better.

Last week, I was in Baltimore, Maryland for work reasons and couldn’t help take some pictures. This entry has been split into three, two of pictures of the nearby area and, since this is mainly a food blog, I have included one food entry as well. So, in a way, this is a triple entry!
