The Cross Street Market is a historic marketplace built in the 19th century in Federal Hill, Baltimore, United States. It runs the full length of Cross Street in between Light Street and Charles Street. The market continues to serve residents as a reliable source of fresh meats, produce, flowers, and baked goods. The west end of this block-long building houses Nick's Seafood, where crabcakes, steamed shrimp, oysters, and sushi can be enjoyed amongst the aromas of the catch of the day.
Many famous characters originated from this market, such as the immortal "Dolphin" Frank Bianca.

Famous quotes containing the words street and/or market:
“At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes; to deny the rights of property is like cutting off the hands. To refuse political equality is like robbing the ostracized of all self-respect, of credit in the market place, of recompense in the world of work, of a voice in choosing those who make and administer the law, a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
