While the major supermarkets require a short car ride from campus, there are a few places to get basic groceries near the medical school if you must go by foot. WALKING DISTANCE Lexington Market www.lexingtonmarket.com Address: 400 W. Lexington St. Phone: 410-685-6169 Hours: Mon-Sat, 8:30am-6pm Directions: Go north on Paca St. past Fayette St. You will see both buildings of Lexington Market on either side of Paca St. Bottom Line: In addition to being a popular place for lunch, Lexington Market is also a great place to find fresh fruits, vegetables, meat (more sketchy), and seafood at reasonable prices. There is also a grocery store inside to buy dairy products and manufactured goods and snacks, and you can also find beer and liquors here. The building east of Paca St. is the main market, though there are more shops and stands in the building across the street. The Loft Convenience and Deli Address: 38 S. Paca St. Phone: 410-837-4600 Hours: TBA Directions: From Pratt St, go north on Paca St. one block. Loft Convenience and Deli is located on the northwest corner of Lombard St. and Paca St. Bottom Line: Located one block east from the hospital, you can find basic groceries and snacks (but no produce) as well as deli service. Prices are rather expensive but at least it's nearby. Ridgely Mini-Mart Address: 633 Washington Blvd. Phone: 410-752-2887 Hours: TBA Directions: Going south on Greene St, turn right onto Washington Blvd. and look for it on the left side.

Bottom Line: Just west of MLK at Washington Blvd., Save-A-Lot has mostly generic-brand groceries at significantly cheaper prices. The quality of their products won't match those at other grocery stores, but it's the only real grocery store within walking distance of campus. Be careful - it's west of MLK - especially if you go late in the day. BY CAR Giant www.giantfood.com Address: Rotunda, 711 40th St. Phone: 410-467-0417 Hours: Open 24/7 Directions: Going north on Charles St., turn left onto University Parkway.
