US Boat Show

[Jacques C]

After 5 years of trying to get the Annapolis, we are finally going this year. We have a hotel and a plan to attend Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Is there anything important to know or to see at the show. Places to eat or helpful hints. We are planning to buy the tickets at the show. Thanks.
Jacques

Buy your tickets online and print them out ahead of time. One less line to wait in at the gate.

A few oyster shooters at Middleton's Tavern. When in Rome.....

Try Chick & Ruth's for breakfast or lunch. An easy walk from the boat show up the main drag from Ego Alley about three blocks. Great casual place and everybody there rises and says the Pledge of Allegiance in the morning. I think its at 9am but you may have to check on the time.

If you have a car try Cantler's for crabs or other seafood. it on the other side of the Servern River so you really need a car to get there. Plan on a line though but its worth the wait.

There is a home Navy Football game that weekend and while its time away from the boat show its a real thrill to attend.

Walking the Naval Academy is neat.. visit the museum and the tomb of John Paul Jones..

In the past some,SBO`ers have met up at Boatyard bar & Grill, In Eastport side of the harbor. You should try it at least once.

I am a fan of the boatyard bash at Eastport yacht club. Also, table side Caesar salad at Carol's by the creek, also in Eastport. Best Caesar I and the admiral have ever had, period!

Davis Pub in eastport is great for food and beer and price.
Galaway Bay excellent for dinner/beer.
two great mexican places, one on west street just west of church circle call el toro bravo, the other over in West Annapolis, near weams creek.
Seconder for Cantlers for Crab, but expect long lines/wait that weekend.
Red Hot and Blue for ribs out on 50 towards bay bridge.
If hotel not walking distance from venue, park at Navy Stadium and take bus.
Take your time and take a map, first day check of locations of places you want to go back to so you dont have to rely on the brainbox.
Check some of the offsite chandleries (Fawcetts, Bacons, APS) as they have good sales on stuff not at the show.
Dito on buying pass online and print ticket, saves standing in line.

Sofi's Crepes, 1 Craig St Annapolis, MD 21401 a real good breakfast/lunch place right around the corner from the Dock Master's office and the show entrance on that side.
