Pools, Pools and More Pools!
+ Oregon Ridge Beach (13401 Beaver Dam Rd): The former quarry is one of the city’s best pools by far. Located in Cockeysville the secret swimming spot is filled with a bath house, concessions, a play ground, picnic tables, grills and life guards. If you’re looking for a relaxing day with friends and family, this is the perfect place for you. Did we mention it will only run you $4-$8?
+ Tiki Barge: If you’re not feeling the pool with the kiddies then head downtown to the Harbor for some fun in the sun! Tiki Barge (500 Harbor View Dr.) is located in the Baltimore Harbor and features two bars on deck. Swimming and a drink only cost $10. We’ll see you there!
The BEST Weekly Events
+ “Rooftops Back! Rooftops Back! That’s all the city’s yelling that the Rooftops back.” By far one of Baltimore’s favorite summer series, the “Rooftop” is actually located at Bourbon Street (316 Guilford Avenue) and is the go to spot to let loose after a stressful work week. Led by our 2010 promoter of the year Events 4 Good People, you won’t ever have a dull moment here with a live crowd, great drinks and D.J. Infame or D.J. P. Drama on the wheels.
+ Get your networking on at Eden’s Lounge (15 W. Eager) on Thursday evening with leading ladies of Women of Empowerment. Hosted by E-Media, this weekly event honors women in Baltimore and surrounding areas who are entrepreneurs, community leaders, television/radio personalities and much more.
+ Fashion Friday’s at Milan (1000 Eastern Avenue) is your perfect happy hour location to grab a drink with the girls (or the fellas). The weekly event presented by Moet Chandon features $5 Milan Signature Fashion Martini’s and music by D.J. P.Christina.

Let’s Eat!
+ The Blue Hill Tavern (938 S. Conkling Street) located in Canton is one of my favorite local restaurants. The beautifully designed and decorated building features outdoor balcony seating, a bar, and a swank patio. There’s a diverse entree section that offers pork, steak, chicken, veggies and more. Taverns staple drinks are a crowd pleaser as well! Try the Electronic Blue.
+ You’ll almost always see a local notable or even celebrity passing through town at Charleston (1000 Lancaster Street). The swanky restaurant while expensive is worth every penny. If you have a summer birthday, anniversary or something to celebrate make sure you stop by here.
+ If you’re looking to get out of town for a good meal at a new spot, but can’t, try Antrim 1844 (30 Trevanion Road). Antrim known as the place for “destination dining” offers tempting meals and prix-fixe combination that would make anyone swoon. From Parmsean-crusted oysters to Scallops that melt in your mouth, you can’t ever go wrong with having dinner here.
