Default Where to eat in Philly and Baltimore

Need some suggestions from the Neloc foodie people.
Will be driving by Philadelphia Saturday morning for lunch and then to Baltimore for seafood/crabs.
Wondering what you all would suggest. Looking for the best crab place in baltimore.
Will also be going to the Orioles vs Oakland game in Baltimore Saturday night.
thanks!
Bill

Also let me know if there are other things to do in case if the ballgame in Baltimore is rained out Saturday.
Thanks!

Best seafood/crab restaurant in Baltimore is World famous, Phillips Restaurant located in Baltimore's Inner Harbor Area. This is only a 5 block walk to the Stadium at Camden Yards. As far as other activities in the area. The waterfront area is full of stuff to do and see. Baltimore Aquarium, Science
Center w/Imax, Power Plant(Shopping area), etc. Depends on what kind of entertainment you are looking for.

In Baltimore theres also a place called Lexington Market it has ALL kinds of food including Phillips and other kinds of cuisine. Up until about 2 years ago, when I was there last, the prices were very reasonable/cheap for what you got.

Also there is Little Italy in Baltimore if your looking for some italian cuisine. For dessert if you like Italian pastry etc in Little Italy there is Vaccaro's 222 Albemarle St, Baltimore excellent everything served there.

How is Phillips compared to Obryckis? I think they are both by the stadium.
Thank you all. Keep the suggestions coming.

What kind of cuisine are you looking for in Philly? Be more specific about what kind of food and I'll give you some suggestions. I've eaten almost everywhere in the city....hmmm, I love to eat.

I'm pretty much looking for a straight up crab house/crab buckets.
Not interested in steak houses,italian or anything.

Just the best bucket of crabs, raw oysters, steamers, etc.

oh that's easy. Best crabs at Dinardo's on 3rd and Race. I like the Oyster house on Samson between 15th and 16th. Also if you have the room and time, go upstairs from the Oyster house to Nodding Head Brewery, they have really good beer and try the jamaican chicken sandwhich...yum!
