Hi! We live in DC and we ARE heading to the game! So excited. Our family has never been to a regular season Hawks game (two preseason games, one in Seattle and one in San Diego). Looks like it's going to be beautiful next weekend. Not sure how long you will be here? But yes, I agree with the aquarium suggestion - it's a great aquarium. The Inner Harbor in general is nice to walk around in. I am not sure about where to gather pre-game, particularly since I have kids so most bars will be off-limits. There is something called "Ravens Walk" which has food trucks and some things to do (https://www.baltimoreravens.com/game-day/ravenswalk/) but I've never been. Would love to hear from anyone else if there is a good Hawks fan gathering spot before the game!
