Restaurants & Food in Baltimore

Baltimore eats by neighborhood: Fell's Point and Harbor East along the water, Mount Vernon and Charles Village up Charles Street, Hampden on the Avenue, and Pennsylvania Avenue on the west side. Soul food, West African, Caribbean and Filipino-Japanese kitchens all sit within a short drive, and several of the best-known operate out of the public markets rather than their own storefronts. Market stalls keep the market's hours, not their own.

Wayne Curtis, Monument Sotheby's International Realty

Baltimore, MD

Wayne Curtis is a REALTOR® with Monument Sotheby's International Realty, working out of the Roland Park office at the Village of Cross Keys. He has been a full time Baltimore agent since 1998 and has closed more than 200 transaction sides in that time. He is a Baltimore specialist by deliberate choice. His practice runs up the Charles Street corridor through Charles Village, Oakenshawe, Guilford, Tuscany-Canterbury, Roland Park and Homeland, across to Hampden and Mount Washington, and down to the harbor neighborhoods: Federal Hill, Otterbein, Mount Vernon, Fells Point and Canton. He works the surrounding markets too, from Towson and Timonium out to Catonsville, Ellicott City, Columbia and Reisterstown. As he puts it on his own site, Baltimore has some 200 neighborhoods and he can help you find a home in any of them. Wayne has consistently been ranked a top producer and has listed or sold over $40 million in Baltimore real estate. He is a Life Member of the Real Estate Million Dollar Association, Ltd. He was chosen by the City of Baltimore and the Board of REALTORS® as one of only seven original SCOPE REALTORS®, and he was one of the original Live Baltimore Preferred Agents. In November 2012, in recognition of his work with Project SCOPE and his work promoting Baltimore neighborhoods and homeownership, the National Association of REALTORS® named him one of its first Homeownership Heroes at the national convention. The recognition has kept coming. In 2024 he chaired the statewide Maryland REALTORS® DEI Advisory Group, and in 2025 the Greater Baltimore Board of REALTORS® named him its Community Service Award recipient. He is also an experienced real estate educator and a former branch manager and mentor, having helped some of the most productive agents in the market build their businesses. He holds the Accredited Buyer's Representative and At Home With Diversity designations, and his work covers residential sales, historic properties, first-time buyers and move-up buyers. Rowhouses, condominiums, co-ops and detached houses are all regular ground for him. Clients come back to him. His reviews describe a steady, patient guide with superb technical knowledge who reads people well on both sides of a transaction, and several of them are repeat buyers and sellers of fifteen or twenty years' standing. Wayne has been featured in REALTOR® and Marketwise magazines and on HGTV's House Hunters. He was born and raised just outside Fredericksburg, Virginia, and holds an AB from the College of William & Mary and an MA in American History from the University of Delaware, a background that shows in the way he talks about Baltimore's 19th and early 20th century housing stock. He is an openly gay REALTOR® and has been a member of the National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals since 2018.
