The Cross Street Market in Federal Hill has been the center of the social scene in the Federal Hill District since the 19th century, and it's still going strong. Visitors to the Market will find not only a great place to buy fresh produce, seafood, and meat, but also an array of smart and funky boutiques to suit every taste and restaurants to suit every appetite. Popular as a nighttime destination, the Market area is lined with taverns, night clubs, and hip bars.
An active neighborhood organization puts together several street festivals during the year, as well as other events around Federal Hill including the annual Shakespeare on the Hill summer performances. The Market area is also home to the marvelous American Visionary Art Museum, which visitors should take a moment to enjoy after their shopping is done.
