Baltimore, the largest city in the state of Maryland, is the 30th-most
populous city in the United States. It was originally and historically a
working-class port city. The city is nicknamed a ‘City of Neighborhoods’
since it is home to 72 designated historic districts that are all
acknowledged with their respective ethnic groups and enunciations. The city
features three downtown areas along the port called the Inner Harbor
(well-known for its shopping hotspots and museums), Fells Point
(historically illustrious as an entertainment zone for sailors) and the
Little Italy (the place to learn more about Baltimore's Italian-American
community, its heterogeneous culture, festivals and enjoyable cuisines).
