<p>We are here at the Residence Inn.
give a shout out if you have made it to Annapolis.</p>
<p>Best of luck masterchief!!!!!</p>
<p>???? former Chef not former M Chief</p>
<p>If you like Maryland crabs (and like to starve while eating them), check out Cantlers. It's a short drive from the center of Annapolis, but it's on the water, has great crabs (and other stuff like crabcakes, crab dip, etc.). Lots of fun with picnic-style tables, butcher block paper as tablecloths, and probably not too crowded right about now. </p>
<p>Enjoy these days of bliss. Seriously. For all of you, Annapolis the city will never quite look the same.</p>
<p>I'll be at the Springhill Suites on Sunday.</p>
<p>Hey Mike: If you have some time to kill you might want to go down to the Marine Corps Museum @ Quantico. It is right off 95 and about 1 and 1/2 hours away. You can spend a lot of time there and still have a lot left to see (open 7 days a week). Good Luck to all and Semper Gumby!!! I can't believe it was only one year ago yesterday, I-Day 2007.</p>
<p>I was at Cantlers on Wed afternoon. Amazingly good.
Crabs and mussels, can't be beat.
Can also recommend the IRish restaurant on Maryland street, I think, next to the state house, just behind the uniform shop [that is lcosing] located on teh circle drive around teh state house. A good irish name that I can't remember. Good restaurant away from the crowds of West St.
And don't forget the italiian resturant across the wharf circle from the Acadmeyu; not the fancy Italizan to the right of the circle but the Pizza place across the circle.</p>

<p>Galway Bay - it a great Irish pub. A favorite in our family.</p>
<p>was going to go there but got mixed local reviews?</p>
<p>Cantler's YES. I'm from texas and that was the first and last place I ate in Annapolis. Hopefully it becomes a family tradition.</p>
<p>We are eating at Cantler's the night before I Day. Got lots of good reviews for it!</p>
<p>Buddys? Not worht it. I wish I had their real estate though. We at Buddy's on I-day weekend--because it was there--and found Cantlers the next year. Cantlers is worth the tiwsts and turns of finding it.</p>
<p>Isn't there a crab place in Eastport that is supposed to be real good?</p>
<p>We're eating at Ruth's Chris night before. Anyone else?</p>
<p>My parents and I are considering that one as well. Lewnes (I think that is how you spell it) is also supposed to be pretty good for a nice steak.</p>
<p>If you drive over to the Inner Harbor there are some nice crab places...and it's fun!</p>
<p>My family is eating at Ruth Chris as well.</p>
<p>I heard some musical group from the Academy is going to be there. (glee club maybe?)</p>
<p>Our reservation is for 7. Maybe we'll see you there. If anyone plans on going, go to their website and make a rez or you may not get in.</p>
<p>Yeah I think ours is 7 as well.</p>
<p>Freshest seafood,
Long wait but worth it.
Messy authentic MD crab experience
Picnic tables with butcher paper and piles of crabs, oysters, clams, etc...</p>
<p>Ruth's Chris is definitely more white tablecloth experience and more $$$$$$$</p>
<p>off to chapel now. 11:00 P service</p>
<p>Very moving,
Chaplain Fish seemed very intune with the younger crowd.</p>
