The City of Baltimore has a sensational reputation when it comes to food with an array of top flight restaurants that are on or near the 1.3 mile corridor. Here is the "Dine'tastic 13". Thirteen great spots to dine in Baltimore that are simply "Charm'tastic".
The number 13 or combination of #8 & #5 have historical significance to the Orioles and Ravens. O's legends and Hall of Fame players Brooks Robinson (#5) and Cal Ripken (#8) jersey numbers combined equal the number 13. Trent Dilfer (#8) and Joe Flacco (#5) are the jersey numbers for the two starting quarterbacks to lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl (35 & 47) victory. Numbers 8 & 5 again equal the number 13.
The 25th Anniversary of the 1993 (July 13th) MLB All-Star Game played at Oriole Park Camden Yards will be July 13, 2018.
