For the Shopaholic:
One of the biggest draws of our area is the bountiful shopping options, just steps away from Liberty. You’ll see a little bit of everything here, from clothing to cosmetics, and even housewares. Most of the shops are located on Aliceanna Street, just a block north of Liberty. Visit shops like Anthropologie, J.Crew, and Free People for ultra-trendy yet wearable pieces. Also worth checking out is South Moon Under, featuring dozens of top-tier brands — the perfect stop to find a gift. They even have a stylish men’s section! If the man in your life doesn’t find something he likes there, the nearby Brooks Brothers is sure to offer something up his alley. When you’re ready to decorate your new Liberty home, visit the Arhaus furniture store to find all the pieces that will make your new apartment the dream home you’ve always imagined.
Other nearby shops include Lush, Madewell and lululemon athletica, but the must-see shop on your neighborhood tour is the Under Armour Brand House. Headquartered just across the Inner Harbor, the Harbor East Under Armour store is a landmark of Baltimore pride. UA athletic wear is a known staple in any true Marylander’s wardrobe, and this is the perfect place to go to add a new piece to your collection.

For the Foodie:
Shopping isn’t the only luxury experience available in our neighborhood. When exploring Harbor East, you’re bound to get hungry, and we’ve found some must-try hot spots all within a five-minute radius of home. Start the day off right at Teavolve Cafe & Lounge on Aliceanna Street for exceptional brunch and the largest selection of coffee drinks you’ve ever seen. In addition to upwards of 30 varieties of loose leaf teas, they have their own Teavolve specialities like the Red Velvet Dress Latte or the Nutella Mocha Latte.
For lunch, check out Taco Fiesta on Exeter Street just a few blocks north, in Little Italy. Taco Fiesta makes every menu item from scratch, and has been doing so since the early 90s. Their best sellers are the sautéed shrimp taco and their house-made guacamole. Finish off your meal with a fresh fruit margarita, and we know you won’t leave disappointed. For something a bit more formal, visit the iconic Dalesio’s Italian restaurant. Little Italy sits just above Harbor East and offers some of the best dining options in the city. Dalesio’s menu includes all of the classic Italian dishes with an impressive wine selection to match.
