Alright Guests, If you prefer the Vegan Way of eating. This is it! The Green Box Kitchen. My favorite is the Baja Cali Bowl which consist of Black Rice, a walnut taco "meat" filling and you can also choose from six flavors of Smoothies. Or maybe you prefer a sandwich and munchies. Visit them at 4th & Market Street downtown Wilmington.

Attended a special event at the Oath 84 Restaurant in downtown Wilmington at 5th & King Street. The people I met there were incredible. A favorite on Oath's Menu is the mini Lamb Chops. Tender and delicious! Make no mistake about it! The best Lamb Chops I've ever had here on the East Coast! I also had the Jerk Chicken Eggroll. Pricing is moderate. Opens at 5:00pm. I just had to meet the Chef, Justin who is also the owner. Pick up a complimentary gift card in your suite to take with you when you go there and tell Chef Justin, Pie sent you.

If you prefer the Jamaican style of cooking, you can experience "the real taste of Jamaica in Delaware." Home of the legendary Bob Marley. And ooh the coconut bread is delightfully tasty! Some weekends experience the outdoor patio to groove to the sounds of a live DJ mixing music while you enjoy your meal with friends and family.

A family favorite. We go to the Harvest Seasonal Grill for family gatherings and I also take my clients their for a great healthy balanced meal. The grill gets all of their produce from local farmers. The menu changes frequently and this restaurant is health conscious. During the summer months, you can enjoy your meal outside in the patio and you can even bring your Fur Ball with you to the patio. Only a 20-25 minute drive up Concord Pike (202) just across state lines into Glen Mills, PA.

Neighborhoods

Carol's Place is in the heart of a robust urban area at Concord Avenue where out-of-town drivers travel from Interstate I-95 and Route 1 and Route 202 Pennsylvania into the heart of N. Brandywine Village onto Concord Avenue. Yes this is the Gateway into North Wilmington and Northeast Wilmington. Pictured here is where Kool Kids Early Learning Center children play and enjoy the outdoors. We're hoping to convert Garfield Triangle into a Splash waterfall park for the neighborhood children.

Sightseeing

Have young children. You must take them to the Riverfront attractions to the Children's Museum. I took my grandchildren there and it's a place of learning, education and tons and tons of "hands on" exhibits the children can do to keep them busy. This museum is like CHRISTMAS to them! They will not want to leave. So let them stay to burn off all of the energy. By the time you do leave, they will be asleep once you get back to your home away from home. LoL
