Dear Imaginary Friends,
If you are thinking of going to Lewes, Delaware, you might want to consider dining at the following places. My whole family just went there and personally taste tested all thses recommendations.
The fave: Agave, Second Street, Nouvelle Mexican,. YUM and then some. I had the mango, crab, avocado salad.
The Buttery, Savannah Road, old fashioned Victorian mansion setting, high end food.
Two Dips, chocolate water ice; Oh, my! What waistline? We visited and partook daily.
The Provincial Bakery, for small pies built for two, homemade everything and local ingredients. I had a most unusual green tomato pie. MM.
Italian goodies: The Italian Deli on Savannah for great cookies, such as amaretti.
Annabelle's Italian restaurant for Italian cooking, and for pizza, go to Mr. P's.
A great wine store is Teller Wines on Savannah Road. The wines are grouped in a most interesting manner, with "fruity and juicy" all together, and " robust" all together, etc. There were many classifications. None of them were called "Iron Rust" nor "Swill."
Have a hair or nail "issue"? Visit Panda at Ocean Retreats, on Savannah Road. It is in a beautiful restored Victorian mansion.
Panda is a human, despite her name.
Lewes has its very own windpower windmill, which provides all the energy needs of the local University of Delaware branch. It is quite large.
Shop at Tanger Outlet Centers, which is on the way to Rehoboth on the main drag.
While you are heading to Rehoboth, dine at Blue Moon, but expect a raucous crowd in the bar. They are wild and crazy! The dining is high end and creative.
Most of these restaurants are very popular and require reservations unless it is off season. Except for Two Dips, with its long line, where you will be served if you have the stamina to wait.
Your Friend, the foodie,
Patsie
