Harborplace
is comprised of two adjacent shopping pavilions that stand at
the water's edge in the heart of the Harbor. Together the
buildings consist of 101 shops, 16 restaurants, and 40 eateries;
the two structures harbor most of the action along the water and
cannot be missed or overlooked when walking along the water’s
edge.
Visitors can go to either
building and get a quick bite to eat, enjoy a nice sit-down
dinner, or just take a load off; or, rather, get a load on with
a few cocktails. Some of the more commercial places located at
Harborplace include, Planet Hollywood, the Cheesecake Factory,
and Hooters. Harborplace shopping, on the other hand, lacks
imagination and is slightly upscale.
However, there is better shopping
on the other side of Pratt Street at The Gallery, a
four-story shopping mall that is connected to Harborplace by
skywalk. This is a huge mall that offers another 70 shops, with
standard stores like The Gap, Foot Locker, and Bath & Body
Works; interspersed with high-end shops such as The Coach Store,
Talbots, and Brooks Brothers.
Harborplace and The Gallery is
especially happening during the summer with live entertainment,
fireworks, visiting ships, etc.. Both places are a very short
distance away from such major attractions as the National
Aquarium and the Maryland Science
Center. Moreover, directly in
front of Harborplace is the water taxi "center." If
driving, visitors can park in The Gallery Garage, with entrances
on both South and Calvert Streets. Or valet your vehicle at the
Pratt Street Pavilion entrance from 5pm - Midnight, Mon. thru
Fri., and 11am - Midnight on weekends. -- Michael Rando
