My wife and I may be staying a couple days in Annapolis for a little vacation. Any tips for B%26amp;Bs are things to see/do/eat?

Thanks!

I have lived in annapolis my whole life, but i couldn%26#39;t tell you where to stay, i have heard the b %26amp; b%26#39;s are nice though. as for food-

the restaurants downtown are pretty basic bar food. For Italian go to Mangias at the end of main street by mills liquors.

if you have a car or don%26#39;t mind a walk, over the spa creek bridge into eastport there is the best steak house ever , Lewnes Restaurant. Pricey, but you won%26#39;t have a better steak. for casual , there is davis%26#39;s pub in eastport. they are known for their crabcakes.

Out of the downtown area is a restaurant named Jalapenos in the parole area. it is our absolute favorite place to go. always delicious, it is mostly spanish, not mexican- the owner gonzalo is great!

hope this helps

B%26amp;B%26#39;s- Annapolis Inn (expensive), Governor Calvert House, Maryland Inn, The Robert Johnson House, The Gatehouse, Georgian House, State House Inn. Google these and you should find all the info needed. All are within the historic district and will have easy access to all sites, restaurants, etc.

Hotels: Mariott (only waterfront hotel in Annapolis) If you can cop a room with a balcony you can watch the constant parade of boats and other activity in the harbor (in season). Loews, a very nice property located on West Street in a newly refurbished area. Still walking distance to everything. O%26#39;Callaghan - nice Irish owned hotel a bit further down on West.

Depending on when you are coming, you should try to get on the water with several different charter companies. Watermark cruises take off from City Dock. ';Woodwind I %26amp; II depart from Pussers at the Marriott. One of the sailboats was featured in the movie the ';Wedding Crashers.';

There are quite a few historic homes you can tour, plenty of quaint shopping on Main Street, West Street and Maryland Avenue. The Naval Academy has tours or you can just visit the grounds and visitor center on your own. You need id%26#39;s to get in, but just go to the visitor center (a mini museum in its own right) and you will get a map of the property. The Basilica and and the crypt of John Paul Jones is worth seeing.

The State House is one of the oldest in the nation and you can enter for free and take a look around. It%26#39;s interesting and fun. There are self guided tours you can do and you can find what you need for that at the Historic Annapolis Museum Store.

Restaurants are a plenty so it really depends what you are hankering for. There are several seafood places but the top one would be O%26#39;Leary%26#39;s across the short bridge in Eastport. Phillip%26#39;s is a chain and only so so. Buddy%26#39;s is a tourist trap. Some excellent italian, eclectic, asian, american restaurants are right downtown. Depending on which ones you are interested in, reservations are strongly encouraged. Especially for Lewne%26#39;s (mentioned by a previous poster) and O%26#39;Leary%26#39;s.

Even if you don%26#39;t stay at the Marriott. If the weather is nice you have to sit outside at Pusser%26#39;s and have a drink. The views and the action is always fun.
