Well, several people have posted most of the good things to do or see, so
I'll just throw in a few more eatery suggestions:
Connoleys (sp?) - on Pier 4 (5?) a few blocks East of the convention
center: very good seafood, crabcakes, steamed crabs, etc. Moderate
prices, usually depending on what's fresh that day.
Tio Pepe's - downtown baltimore, check the phonebook: good Spanish
(maybe Mexican?) food; not tacos & burritos, but "fancy" food &
great flan! Expensive.
Bertha's - Fells Point, 1-2 miles East of the convention center: home
of the legendary Bertha's Mussels, a small (!) bar with a 10 table
restaurant in the back. Reasonable prices.
Pollack Johnny's - on "The Block", Baltimore Street just North of the
convention center (and East by 2 or 3 blocks): great Polish sausages,
but guaranteed heartburn. Also, it's in the middle of all the strip
joints, so it's not the best of neighborhoods (but not that bad, esp.
if in a group of 3 or more). Cheap on the wallet, expensive on the
GI tract. :-)
Hausner's - East Baltimore somewhere, check the phone book: good food,
somewhat German "accent", usually very good seafood. Very crowded, they
only take reservations for 5 or more, otherwise you stand in line. It's
worth going if only for the experience - you stand in line for a while,
then you go inside and it's still crowded. It might not be so bad, but
every inch of wall space is covered with paintings. There's a gallery
upstairs you can tour while waiting for your food to arrive. A bit on
the expensive side, but worth it (or it was the last time I was there
about 5 years ago).
Sissons - South Baltimore, walking distance from the convention center,
check the phone book for address: good "Cajun" food. Moderate to
expensive.
