I have traveled to many places and I think Frederick is the best place to live in the USA and I can assure you that Frederick has the best food! There are many different kinds of restaurants in Frederick you'll never get bored. This is a quiet area but there are always fun activities to do. There is downtown Frederick with it's cute little shops, or if you prefer nature you can go hiking and/or ride your bike at the C&O canal, go kayaking or just have a picnic with your friends at Baker Park and watch the ducks in the river. Frederick is located closed to Baltimore, Washington DC, Northern Virginia and West Virginia so you get a taste of everything living in this area and learn to appreciate the diversity.
Frederick is a small, historical town in northern Maryland. The city has done a great job of preserving historical buildings; there is a local committee that decides what kinds of remodeling can be performed on the outsides of buildings (including homes) in the downtown historical district.
There are lots of small, independent shops in Frederick and a number of cafes. Both meat-eaters and vegetarians will be pleased with the cuisine options. The summer months offer many outdoor events, including small concerts and performances at the Sky Stage—a small, outdoor amphitheater. During the winter months, the trees in the downtown area are wrapped in Christmas lights, offering a warm and cheerful atmosphere that is perfect for nighttime Christmas gift shopping.
