Lexington Market
One of America's oldest public markets, open since 1782, with a new hall that opened in 2022 and the famous crab cakes of Faidley's.
Lexington Market has operated since 1782 and is one of the longest-running public markets in the United States. In 2022 it moved into a newly built, bright hall. The stalls sell seafood, prepared foods, baked goods and snacks from many cultures. The most famous is the long-established Faidley Seafood, known for its jumbo lump crab cakes and oyster bar. Baltimore specialties such as Berger cookies are also on sale. The market is closed on Sundays. It is located beside the light rail station downtown, and the surrounding area is average, so visiting during the day is recommended.
