Johns Hopkins Hospital
While not really a place to visit, unless you are sick or injured, the administrative center, the Billings Building, is a beautiful work of architecture, and a principal East Baltimore landmark. Its prestige is likewise enormous, almost always named the United States' premiere hospital, and by extension, many consider it the best in the world.

Mama Mia's
A slice of East Baltimore that attracts, rather than scares away, the Hopkins crowd. It provides a sense of balance to the health facilities across the street--you'll find here only unhealth. Pizza, greasy subs, and just about anything fried. It's delicious (and very cheap). It also serves to unify locals with the professional hospital crowd in a way that only fast heart-destroying food can. There is a little bit of seating available, but it's the kind of food you wouldn't mind eating while standing outside.

Northeastern Market
Northeastern Market, est. 1885, in the heart of East Baltimore, is probably the least touristy of the city's many public markets, and it's also one of its largest. Jumbled and a little dirty, it implausibly received the City Paper's award for best public market. It is without a doubt colorful enough to warrant a visit if you are in the area, though, and you can wander in along with hungry Hopkins interns, mingling with grocery shopping East Baltimoreans, to find some tasty eats: favorites include sandwiches at Rex's Deli, OK Oriental (Chinese), Hot Mustard (Korean, just behind the market), and Shore's Seafood.

Dino's Carryout & Restaurant
If over by the hospital, you could do a lot worse than Dino's. Expect big, cheap, tasty portions of greasy pizza, gyros, subs, etc., as well as some surprisingly good salads, but more importantly a nice, clean dining room--a bit of an oasis in these parts.
