Shopping and Dining: Lexington Market is located at 400 W Lexington Street in the Downtown district. Several historical markets are still in operation in Baltimore, but Lexington Market has a longer history of continuous operation than any of the others. Since 1782, citizens and visitors have gathered here to pick up the staples of their cupboards, such as breads, cheeses and meats. The modern market of today offers a greater variety and a higher quality, and includes a dizzying array of ethnic foods that can be enjoyed onsite and at hand, or packed to go. Of particular interest are the crab cakes from Faidley's Seafood, which are legendary for their quality and make a great gift with the genuine Baltimore flavor. Berger's Bakery is at the top of the list for treats to tempt the sweet tooth. Also of note is the fact that special events are often held here, including musical performances and the very popular Preakness Crab Race. It is said that this event must be seen to be fully appreciated.
