Hunters’ Tavern, Restaurant, Tidewater Inn, Hotel, Easton, 8th Best Small Town in America, Maryland, Talbot County, Maryland’s Eastern Shore…Happy New Year!!
My sister in law, Susie, and I decided to do something different on this first day of 2014….To meet in Easton, Maryland at the corner of Harrison St. and East Dover. This is where the beautiful and historic Tidewater Inn is located. The actual address is 101 East Dover St. Tel. 410-822-1300. Website? http://www.tidewaterinn.com. I drove from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, going through the backroads; leaving Sussex County behind and entering Caroline County and finally Talbot County. It took about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
The Tidewater Inn is a landmark in Easton. It was designated a Historic Hotel of America by The National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2006. It has been owned by the Carl M. Freeman Companies. The hotel is elegant.
At this time of the year we decided that eating indoors would be a must, but if the weather turns a little milder then outdoor seating is also available.
At the Hunters’ Tavern we got comfortable and we both had their amazing Snapper Soup. It is awesome and it is served with Sherry. Put as much or as little as you want. It is so delicious I decided that there was no way I would be starting my diet on January 1st.
It was followed by a Caesar Salad with their signature crabcake. And, rock fish fingers!! Rock fish is local.
A sweet ending with Smith Island Cake…ready to walk the town, but not before I thank our server. She was very friendly and attentive.
Easton has beautiful tree line streets, porches and old houses…Colonial and Victorian architecture.
It also has plenty of art galleries, gourmet restaurants, and gift shops. The attraction to this town is also fishing, hunting, golfing and sailboat racing.
The Avalon Theatre offers entertainment…opera, blue grass, comedy. It is located at 40 East Dover St. For more information, please visit http://www.avalontheatre.com.
Easton is “the 8th Best Small Town in America”. Maryland’s Eastern Shore is so scenic, so get in your car and spend the day or a few hours like we did. For more information, please visit http://www.eastonmd.org.
Leaving Easton…going home, I passed the town of Bethlehem…
