Stitch House Brewery

829 N Market Street Wilmington, DE

This restaurant has made its long-awaited debut and its fans are blowing up social media. With over 2,000 likes on Facebook alone and they haven't even celebrated their grand opening yet! It is this afternoon, (March 16th) at 3 PM! They'll be open until 8 PM and are celebrating the big event with a happy hour from 4-7 PM. The space consists of a full scale brewery and new American menu to accompany the beers being made just a few feet away.

Bank's Seafood Kitchen and Raw Bar (Formerly Harry's Seafood Grill)

101 S Market Street Wilmington, DE

New name, new menu and new chef, David Banks brings a new spin to seafood and the public agrees the change is a good one!  If you are still looking for a place to head to on Easter Sunday, Bank's is bringing on the specials with 1 pound of lobster & steamed mussels or clams for $35 and their famous 3 course Lobster dinner for $42.

Margaux (Coming Soon)

902 N Market Street Wilmington, DE

French is finally making its way to Market Street! Complete with a crêperie, transport yourself to France by visiting Margaux. The interior finishes are currently being revealed and if the food is even half as tasty as the space is gorgeous, everyone is in for a real treat! 

Farmer and The Cow

413 N Market Street Wilmington, DE

For good measure, the photo below absolutely had to be shared as well. There is only one word to describe The Farmer and the Cow and that is scrumptious. Craig raved on Yelp, "Great burgers. Awesome atmosphere. Fantastic bourbon selection.  Spectacular service." What more could you ask for? They even have milkshakes themed after breakfast cereals!
