Greek Town is nice.

It’s all very suburby except for Towson.

Butts & Betty’s is open for 22 hours straight.

Assuming work is covering the expense of meals/etc….

Duck, duck, goose is a great restaurant. You could probably get a seat at the bar.

Thames St Oyster house but probably a tough seat for dinner.

RYE is great little dive/speakeasy type place for a drink.

Maxs Taphouse is never a bad time but idk if they are doing an event that night.

Waterfront Hotel just remodeled their second floor and is a great spot to catch live music (cue the Atlas hate, but the second floor WTF is great)

If your only argument is “oh yeah? Where do you know that is better?” Just accept that you love a turd. It’s okay, I love our turd too.

The port comedy club in fells point has a 10:30 NYE show!

When I'm not as sick, I will.

great. now maybe can pick up the abandoned car that’s been reported over a half dozen times for close to two months on 35th St.

Try volunteering somewhere, that’s a great way to meet people and do something good at the same time

And they still had food?

This is good, thorough comment and [hopefully] in line with what OP was expecting to read.

Towson is the less suburb-y of all county towns and, in fact, it's getting more dense and urban.

Baltimore County is a pretty big place, it's like a 45 mile drive from Sparrows Point to The MD/PA Line. I'll assume since you're asking for places that aren't too suburby that you're thinking closer to the city.

Up on the north side Towson is a university town with a walkable downtown, plenty of good places to eat, etc. Towson has definitely gone upscale over the years (it has a lovely Whole Foods) so it might be pricy, but it's certainly not short on young people.

The east side - especially the southeast side - and especially especially Dundalk are often perceived as a white trash area. That's sometimes true, although I've known some fine people from the east county as well. In the northeast, I know one Parkville resident who swears by it but I find it a bit generic.

On the west side some of the the inner suburbs - Owings Mills and Randallstown for example - have large black populations so you'll find lots of soul food, black hair places, etc. And Pikesville is a heavily Jewish suburb on the northwest side if kosher food is your thing. As you head out to Reisterstown the population gets much whiter and you start seeing more Trump stickers.

On the southwest side Catonsville has a walkable Main Street, but doesn't feel as upscale as Towson. It's a part of the county that used to be very white, and is slowly becoming more diverse. It's the home of UMBC, but Catonsville feels much less like a college town than Towson as UMBC is more commuter-heavy and smaller overall. It's not a bad area if you want to have one foot in the suburbs and one foot in the city - it's an easy 15 minute drive to popular spots in South Baltimore, but it's also close to big box stores and suburban stuff on route 40.

If you're don't have a specific reason to be in the county but you're just looking for something that doesn't feel like full-on city, there are areas within the city limits that might work. Mt Washington has a nice little walkable area with bars and restaurants, but most of the residential streets around there feel pretty suburban and car-oriented.

Not really true. It’s not history if it’s not known. It’s just the past.

Idk where this negativity about the city is coming from. What city do y’all think is so unique and spectacular?

This man has definitely been to Baltimore county. I think that might need to be adopted as the official description.

You know where else has history? The entire fucking planet.

The whole city isn’t a warzone like people say though, I’ll say that much lol

sure, decent money for people with no options, to be a class traitor....

“Fed hill” everywhere has hills with flags. “Edgar Allen poes grave” they have dead historical dudes everywhere. “Canton?” They have gentrification everywhere. “Fells point?” They have violence and bars everywhere “hampden?” They have historically racist communities filled with hipsters everywhere. I love my city but y’all need to face it as far as experiences exclusive to our city? all we have is blue crabs a contaminated harbor full of body’s/litter, John’s Hopkins and the word “dummy” being friendly 🤷🏼‍♂️

for real? that would be so Baltimore!

you really should read and learn from comments
