Downtown Frederick, Maryland, lies among older, red-brick buildings as part of a 40-block historic district that dates back to Colonial times when the city served as a crossroads between Baltimore and points to the west. For 22 weekends out of the year, the downtown area hosts special events among the nearby historic buildings and park spaces. Rent an apartment along Market Street and stay close to the action.
The Tasting Room combines the best American fare with classic and unique cocktails. Brewer's Alley bills itself as the city's first brewpub, where you can choose from up to half a dozen year-round brews plus one or two seasonal selections. Weinberg Center for the Arts regularly hosts touring performances from comedians, keynote speakers, and musical acts if you want to take in a show.
