• Taste some wonderful Maryland blue crab when out exploring the area. Designated as the state’s official food, Maryland blue crab is typically served fresh straight from the nearby Chesapeake Bay. While this local delicacy is served in a variety of ways, many in Maryland prefer to eat their crab steamed.

• Savor another classic Maryland dish known as "Smith Island Cake." The official state desert of Maryland, this wonderful treat consists of eight to ten layers of delectable yellow cakes baked with chocolate frosting.

• Delight in Maryland-style pit beef. Maryland pit beef is different from other forms of American barbecue as it features lean roast beef that has been sliced into thin mouthwatering slices. Cooked anywhere from rare to medium rare, Maryland pit beef is best tried as in a sandwich with some savory horseradish.

• Sip on the cocktail named for the film Wedding Crashers, filmed at the historic hotel in 2005. Crafted with seasonal liquors, bitters, and garnishes, the Wedding Crasher cocktail has become a fixture on the historic hotel’s menus.
