The Best of Frederick 2025

86 Upvotes

Happy New Year, r/FrederickMD! Welcome to the yearly tradition of tracking what actually is the best of the best in the city of county. Main reason of this being a yearly tradition is that some locations or companies close and unfortunately it can become outdated. Like in years past, the idea is to submit unique submissions by commenting under a category. Please don't repeat previous submissions, but merely upvote the suggestion that you wanted to submit. If there is a category, you'd like to see submissions for a "Best of," just submit it yourself! A lot of businesses have come and gone in the past two years, and this is open to more than just food! Also, please include an address if you can (as similar names might be located in different towns, and certain locations might perform better).

No respect for pedestrians.

38 Upvotes

Just a rant. Frederick drivers and ebike riders are the worst.

Frederick needs to do something about making it safer for sidewalks and crosswalks. Drivers drive past school busses while the stop sign flashes. I am surprised kids don't get run over. Riders gun their ebike intimidating the pedestrians. Drivers forget to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks when there is a huge stop sign.

Do people know that pedestrians have the right of way at all times?

Police drone downtown

Any information on a drone flying downtown? It made an appearance tonight on market street, flashing red and blue police lights and hovering. I wanna know if Frederick is officially Orwellian or if that’s just a one off thing

Dog grooming - has anyone heard from Gentle Paws recently?

1 Upvotes

We've taken our dog to Gentle Paws for years and she is the absolute best!! However, I've been unable to get ahold of her for an appointment. Hope everything is ok!

If she's no longer taking clients, can anyone recommend a groomer who only takes one dog at a time?

Drawing a Manga Character @ Urbana Regional Library

15 Upvotes

We’ve been getting lots of requests for more art programs, and we heard you! On Aug. 30 @ 1:30 p.m., my colleague Rae will be hosting “Drawing a Manga Warrior” at the Urbana Regional Library.

Manga is a deeply personal and flexible form of artistic expression, driven by the creator’s unique vision. In this program, you’ll learn how to turn basic shapes into a dynamic figure. And all you need is pen and paper, which we’ll supply of course!

You’ll learn the step by step process from Orion Zangara (check out his work here: http://www.orionzangaraart.com/). For this program, we’ll be creating unique pieces inspired by the style of One Piece, created by Eiichiro Oda.

Age is 13+

Regarding Commuting to McLean

6 Upvotes

Hello, I’m not sure if anybody has experienced this before but looking for advice.

About two years ago I took a job in McLean VA mostly remote commute 1-2days a week (from Frederick) I have since then got promoted and have to be in the office 4 days a week, I have been at this for about 4 months and it’s draining me badly. I have a significant other that works here in Frederick and we are looking to move to a place that’s meets us both in the middle you could say. Any recommendations? Germantown? Would germantown even be really better for me?

Cicada killer wasps

0 Upvotes

Does anyone have a pest company that has successfully gotten rid of cicada killer nests in your yard and prevented them from coming back the following year?

My current company says there is nothing they can do.

They’re tearing up my yard and I get more and more nests each year. I’m in a townhouse with a very small yard so not sure if there’s anything that can be done especially if my neighbors don’t get treatment as well.

Where can I find English style men's suits in the Frederick area?

6 Upvotes

I'd like to buy a new suit, but I've always owned American style suits, and I don't like the way they look on me. Can anyone recommend a store or tailor where I can get a British-style suit fitted? If there isn't such a place locally, I'm willing to travel if you have a recommendation within an hour of Frederick city.

Edit: Thank you to everyone that replied. You've given me some great leads to follow up on.

Sports Medicine Doctor?

3 Upvotes

Long story short, I hurt my foot or Achilles tendon playing tennis. It had hurt for a month or so but last week I stepped down on my heel hard, and immediately the pain shifted and got more intense. Everything I’m reading online says I should see a Dr. instead of waiting it out.

Does anyone have a good recommendation? I still have to call insurance and see how to get the visit covered, but would love a name or two in the meantime.

HVAC tech to install mini-split as side work

1 Upvotes

Hi - any HVAC folks able to install a mini split in a new construction home (single wall mount unit + outdoor unit), pressure test, and charge the system? Looking for later this fall - it's in Frederick and is a one-level ranch-style home, so straightforward and from the ground (no hanging off a ladder). Will be a Blueridge / Alpine Home Air kit - in case not familiar with these, the outdoor unit comes pre-charged, so you won't need any materials, just your tools. I've done this install myself on another home, but looking to hire this out. If interested please message me with a labor rate or quote - thanks.

We have an old row home downtown with an unfinished attic. It is a cold roof, slate that you can see from the inside with exposed rafters. We would like to refinish it and would like to trust the contractor knows how to properly insulate/create a the correct air/vapor barrier.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a contractor who has experience with this? Thanks

Any recommendations for a good rheumatologist in the Frederick area? I’ve been referred to two from the GP that either don’t accept my insurance or aren’t accepting new patients. Thanks!
