Cross Street Market is a historic public market in South Baltimore that has undergone recent renovations. The 29,803-square-foot market, completed in 1952, is located in the charming Federal Hill neighborhood, just four blocks from the Inner Harbor and downtown business district.
The market offers a diverse array of food options, from ramen and shawarma to tacos and ice cream. Reviewers praise the market's cleanliness, ample seating, and great variety of restaurants. One standout feature is the friendly and engaging security guard, who has been described as making the market a joyful and happy place.
Compared to other renowned food markets like Reading Market in Philadelphia and Chelsea Market in New York City, Cross Street Market provides a similar, if smaller, experience, catering to food lovers of all kinds in the historic Baltimore area.
I really like the variety of venders/ food selection; however prices can use a small reduction to satisfy customer(s) needs and wants. Great location for food and a night out on the town!!

Always enjoy the coffee, but the staff is even better. Everyone at the market is very friendly.
