Baltimore, MD

Crabs, harbors, and a city that doesn't care what you think.

Baltimore has the best aquarium on the East Coast, a waterfront that's genuinely beautiful, and crab houses where a mallet and Old Bay are the only utensils. Hampden and Fells Point have real neighborhood energy, the art scene is scrappy and good, and everything costs half what it would in DC, 40 minutes south. American Visionary Art Museum is the weirdest, most wonderful museum you've never heard of. Outsider art, self-taught artists, and a giant whirligig out front. Worth every penny.
