Opening Day 2014

Happy Opening Day and 60th Anniversary Season to the Baltimore Orioles!  Gametime is at 3:05PM, so try to make it out for the pre-game party all over downtown beforehand and during.  Let's go O's!

Baltimore Drink and Dining Cards

If you love trying out new places around town (or just going out in general), the Baltimore drink deck or dining cards might be for you.  They're actually a deck of cards, with each card being a coupon that expires at the end of 2015.  For the drink deck, you get 2-for-1 drinks (max $10 value) at each of the 50 bars.  For the dining cards give you $10 off a $30 purchase at each of the 50 restaurants.  The bonus?  You also get two wildcards good for free stuff.  Oh, and when you buy online, 5% of proceeds go to The Living Classrooms.  Here's the link to purchase your drink deck or dining cards:  http://www.citydiningcards.com/multiple-products-baltimore

Note:  BmoreInterested doesn't make anything from the sale of these cards, but we think they're cool.

Baltimore St. Patrick's Day Parade 2014

This Sunday, March 16th, the bagpipes will be singing down Charles Street.  The 59th annual St Patrick's Day Parade is an event that helps Baltimoreans usher in Spring with music, dancing, and plenty of green.  Show up early and pick out a good spot between the Washington Monument and the Inner Harbor.  The parade itself starts at 2PM, but the Shamrock 5k will be running on the street at 1:15PM and you can check out the Shamrock Shindig beforehand as well.  For more information, visit the Official Website.  Here are just a few shots from the 2013 parade to put you in an Irish mood.  Click on the images to enlarge and use your arrow keys to go through them.
