We asked earlier this week if the appearance of Baltimore in national entertainment might spark a tourism uptick in the Charm City. Would it make you more likely to visit if you knew a beautiful or handsome stranger were there waiting for you? Bet on it with these local hookup spots:

Ram's Head Live! :: See George Clinton or Dru Hill at this bar and concert venue populated by guys in mohawks. 20 Market Pl.

Hilltop :: Gyros and pizza rule at this late-night chow-down, perfect after a night out with your friends. 600 E. Fort Ave.

Owl Bar :: Hoot, er, talk the night away at this century-old wood-paneled bar, a place to spot cute men at the bar. 1 E. Chase St.

Cry-Baby, The Musical

Last week's New Yorker wrote about the possible return of Baltimore as a popular city, or at least a destination, thanks to the commercial success of John Waters, who has sent his movie Hairspray to the Great White Way and then back into movie theaters.

Now Waters is doing the same thing for his cult movie Cry-Baby, which originally starred Johnny Depp and is about a local Baltimore gang, The Drapes.*

And naturally, the Cry-Baby Broadway musical has the Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Bureau super excited about a boom in people wanting to take a trip to B'more. But will it happen?]]> juliana 2008-04-28T16:00:01-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
