Cross Street Market

Cross Street Market is a market hall in the Federal Hill neighborhood spanning an entire block on South Charles Street with over 20 local vendors. The building offers fresh food, beverages, and prepared meals in indoor dining spaces and takeout options.

The building dates to 1846 and served generations of south Baltimore residents as their market. After a full renovation, it reopened in 2019, connecting its long history with modern facilities.

Local merchants shape the food offerings here through fresh seafood, butcher shops, and regional specialties that have long been part of the area's eating culture. You will see neighbors regularly stop by these shops to buy their daily ingredients and chat with one another.

The market is just minutes from Inner Harbor and the sports stadiums, operating daily with flexible dining options. You can eat indoors on the spot or grab food to go, depending on your time and preferences.

Although built in 1846, the building fell into decay by the mid-20th century and sat largely unused for decades. Its rescue and transformation in 2019 turned it into a new gathering place, showing how old structures can be brought back to life.
