It's what you make of it. If you are not involved in the thug life and carry yourself like a man, you will not be bothered.

I have not been there in about 8 years, but that's because of no parking not the crime.

I used to live 2 blocks away and walk there all the time. No problems.

Nothing to see here :innocent0

Perfectly normal, just take the wife and kids for a nice lunch on some evening when you want to relax and enjoy the atmosphere!

No shit? I was in there monday morning about 11. Only white guy there and probably only legal pistol in there too. Walked around, ate a little, saw the "special police" shoo a few drug deals away and went home. I was raining at that time, so there was that.....

I go there 3 or 4 times a year for oysters or lunch. Yes you do have to be careful and remain aware of your surroundings but most of the violence there is internecine among the dealers & their customers.

I used to go there a lot for lunch. But once Pancho's closed (best burritos in the WORLD), there wasn't much reason to go.

The fact that a food place closes at 6:00 PM should tell you something.

Haven't been there since I was a kid, and have no plans to go back.

I used to go there for lunch when I worked over that way. I never had any problems

Went there once.

Won't go back.

Fried chicken livers can be made at home.

Glad you survived.

I used to go there for lunch when I worked at Charles and Fayette.....of course that was in the mid to late 1970's....no chance in hell I would go there now...just too many other places to get good food without having to watch the live version of Cops..........

I worked a couple of blocks from the market after I got out of the USAF in 1970. Great place for lunch and family friendly then. Now, not so much. I was introduced to the soft crab sandwich there by two Maryland natives who said (after I ate it) that they had never had the nerve to try one.

If you want to visit a city market with good food then try Cross St. Market down in South Baltimore. Great seafood, sandwiches, subs, etc. You do have a few homeless people at the entrance on Charles St. but it's nothing like Lexington Market.

I'm telling Starbucks you're cheating on them :rasp:

When a place's top Yelp reviews all mention drug dealers, heroin addicts, beggars, and pigeons....

Is there another one in the market or are you talking about the one next to it (also next to Mother's)?
