Canton and Brewers Hill are both local favorite neighborhoods, about 12 and 25 minute walk respectively (and very easy uber/lyft rides).
You'll find Patterson Park (a large green space in the middle of the city, with ponds, picnic tables, benches, so forth), and the Canton Waterfront Park for more harbor views.
These 2 neighborhoods have some of my favorite restaurants: Pho Bac for vietnamese, Ni Hao for chinese, Gunther and Co. for delicious "modern american", Of Love & Regrets for great cocktails, and Annabel Lee Tavern (an Edgar Allen Poe themed comfort food).

This is in North Baltimore and is the heart of the artsy crowd with specialty shops, pubs, bars, breweries. This neighborhood is full of character - the main drag of 36th Street (worth it to just wander up and down!) is home to many street festivals down the Avenue.

By walking along the water from 1809, you'll end up in the Inner Harbor and Harbor East neighborhoods (about 15 minutes, but even quicker if you take the main street).
Inner Harbor is the place for sightseeing where you have: Maryland Science Center with a planetarium and observatory, and the National Aquarium. The Top of the World Observation Level offers beautiful views of the city - you'll also see a collection of historic warships is docked below. Power Plant Live! is a complex of bars, eateries and music venues in a former power station.
Harbor East has several high-end shops and local boutiques, upscale restaurants like Charleston, and several hotels including the Four Seasons Baltimore, which has one of the city’s best rooftop bars.
History buffs will want to check out the Baltimore Civil War Museum at President Street Station, which is the oldest railroad station in an urban environment. The museum explores the city's role in the Civil War and its connections to the Underground Railroad.
Nearby is Harbor Point, which is currently being developed into 27 acres of mixed-use space including waterfront parks. The Sandlot is a summertime "beach" with volleyball.
