Downtown Frederick shopping and nearby eateries
With downtown only blocks away, entertainment and dining options are bountiful. “Downtown Frederick is amazing and within walking distance,” Ward says. However, those looking to stay close to home can go to the Monocacy Village Shopping Center. Here, you will find Oscar’s Alehouse, noted as the best-kept secret in Frederick. The family-friendly atmosphere makes it a wonderful place to grab a drink and snack after work. Patrons rave over the warm, soft-serve pretzels and beer cheese. Another favorite spot is the Showroom, which serves modern American cuisine and Rockwell Brewery, where you can grab an ice-cold beer brewed on-site. A quick trip up North Market Street will lead you to Cugino Forno Neapolitan Pizza. With spacious outdoor seating, sit back while you enjoy authentic, oven-baked pizza. As you munch down on the crunchy but light crust, the aroma of fresh basil fills the air. Make sure to leave enough room to revel in the rich and delectable gelato and homemade cannoli. For a trip to the grocery store, head to The Common Market in the College Park Shopping Center. Locals snack on their fresh, organic produce. While you’re there, stop by the café for a thick, creamy smoothie.
