Ale Mary rocks
What's with all these Hollywood celebrities living it up at Ale Mary's in Fells Point? I expect tourists to stay in their appointed area (mostly Harborplace) and not venture out to where the locals go. How did they even find out about Ale Mary's? It's not in the latest Zagat, and I can't see a hotel concierge recommending it.
It must be that word of the Krispy Kreme bread pudding (pictured) has gotten out.
I haven't eaten there, but just out of curiosity I looked back to see what grade LIVE reviewer Karen Nitkin gave it: three stars for food and two-and-a-half for atmosphere and service.

Fells Point has long been a curious mixture of locals and tourists. It's a strange experience to be sitting at the bar at one of one''s regular watering holes when a tourbus full of tourists shows up.
Harborplace, on the other hand, is pretty much all tourist.

If you're driving or walking past it on Fleet Street, the name and theme definitely grab you.
Of course, if Fallon and his crew were looking for the more traditional Fells Point experience, I would recommend the Cat's Eye Pub.

Ale Mary's is the perfect Fells Point pub - far enough off the beaten track not to be full of toursits, but not a hole in the wall, either. It's got some great cheap food, an eclectic beer list, and one wishes all barowners could be a jovial as Mary.
