So many films and TV shows have been shot in Fell's Point over the past few years, it's been in more closeups than Julia Roberts. An apartment near the Broadway Pier served as Meg Ryan's movie home in Sleepless in Seattle. At Broadway Market, one of the oldest public markets in the nation, freshly caught rockfish and piles of oysters chill on nests of ice. Vendors sell Polish sausage and other ethnic foods. In the early 1900s, Fell's Point was second only to New York as a point of entry for European immigrants.
Restaurants abound in the neighborhood.
Dining moves outdoors in pleasant weather. Old-world flavors spice menus at many popular restaurants. All the Greek breads and desserts are also made from scratch with handed-down recipes, making the restaurant worth the splurge. On early mornings, customers sit at windows overlooking the waterfront and savor French pastries warm from a wood-burning oven. Cases are filled with round loaves of crusty white berrichone bread, fruit tarts, carre elegants, and croissants as big as lobsters.
