Meet & Greet opportunity for Downtown Wilmington

Please join the downtown business community on Tuesday, May 10 at the Baby Grand as we celebrate our upcoming "Summer in the City" - trust me, this will be a great event!

New restaurant opens on Market Street

If there's one thing I love about being in Downtown Wilmington, it's the great variety of choices we have for food - whether you're in the mood for Italian, Mexican, Chilean, Chinese, or Ethiopian food, we have it! 

This week, Masala Kitchen opened its doors to serve incredibly flavorful vegetarian Indian food - I highly recommend trying the Mix Pakora.

Jaysheel Bhavsar said he and his team are excited to be located in Downtown Wilmington and want to make sure everyone gets to try their food.

All I can say is that I am thrilled to have Masala Kitchen as part of our Downtown family - oh, and you should really try the ice cream here, it's like nothing you've had before.

Great Downtown Business Featured in Out & About

The April issue of Out & About magazine really is packed with great articles about businesses and events in Wilmington.

One of those articles features Delaware's only tea shop - Levitea

Here's an excerpt:

Accolades are quickly building for the establishment. Last year, Levitea won a “Best of Delaware” award from Delaware Today, and the Green Room at the Hotel du Pont features a variety of its teas each month. Soon, the shop will offer teas to-go by the ounce, and an online store will be up and running, along with a blog. And this summer, Lomax promises bubble tea.

I am proud of all of our Downtown Wilmington businesses and the success they are creating.
