My friend Debbie and I were spending the night at the Hotel du Pont in Wilmington, Delaware. You can see my post right before this current one. Hungry we were so off to the Chelsea Tavern we went. Arriving at the tavern so early…they told us they did not have tables available. All booked. But, they gave us a great table at the bar. One of those tall tables. We had a clear vision of the dining room. You see how that photo looks so empty, soon enough the whole restaurant was packed. At the bar…standing room only.
The Chelsea Tavern is located at 821 Market Street. Tel. 302-482-3333. Website? http://www.chelseatavern.com.
This tavern is another dining option if you are attending a play at The Playhouse or a concert at The Grand Opera House which is literally across the street.
Debbie and I were taking our time at grazing. The football games were going on the t.v.s and the beer was flowing. If you would like to see their beer menu, please visit http://www.beermenus.com/places/5089-chelsea-tavern.
The first thing we ordered was their Loaded Brussels. These were crispy brussels sprouts, with applewood bacon, scallions, topped with a beer and cheddar cheese sauce.
Continuing enjoying ourselves and then talking to people from Chicago that were in Delaware because their children were playing lacrosse…..we ordered an entree salad called the Quinoa & Beet Salad. It had mixed greens, toasted almond, portobello mushrooms, pickled beets, cherry tomatoes, goat cheese, and a sage-balsamic vinegar dressing. After the Brussels Sprouts it was a great cleansing palate salad.
Our server was spot on. His suggestions were all perfect. So, he suggested the Mediterranean Pizza. It had roasted tomatoes, goat cheese, baby spinach, artichokes, Kalamata olives, and a garlic oil and balsamic reduction. This pizza was outstanding. We ordered it well done. No guilt eating this whole pizza. The combination of toppings was delicious. The crust thin and crispy. Yum!
No dessert for us. It was time to cross the street and take our seats at The Grand Opera House where we met one of our other usual suspects, Paula…..she is my entertainment director. In concert Delbert McClinton. He is best know for his hit “Giving It Up For Your Love”. He is a Grammy Award winning recording artist and songwriter. His sax player was amazing.
The Grand Opera House is also known as The Grand Lady of Market Street. It opened in 1871 as a home for the Grand Lodge of the Masons. The Grand was designed by architect Thomas Dixon in the Second Empire style. Its facade is of cast iron adorned with Masonic images. In 1909, The Grand was for a short time converted into a regular stop on the vaudeville circuit, and then into a movie theater. In 1967 it closed its doors. In 1971 plans were unveiled to renovate the theatre to its former splendor. Today The Grand presents more than 75 shows each season.

That’s all folks!!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

One of my usual suspects, Debbie, and I took off for Wilmington, Delaware…just a quick, ovenight, get-a-way trip. Tickets to see Delbert McClinton in concert were ordered by another suspect, Paula…who is my entertainment director. I have always loved this hotel. It encompasses timeless elegance and beauty. It is located at 11th and Market Sts., Wilmington, DE 19801 Tels. 302-594-3100, 800-441-9019. You can find it on Facebook, as well. Website? http://www.hoteldupont.com
The hotel is an Italian Renaissance building. It was commissioned by Pierre S. du Pont in 1913. It took 2 1/2 years to build. It has 12 stories with 217 rooms and suites. Almost all rooms have king size beds but if you would like a room with 2 beds, please give them a call. They do have some rooms with 2 beds. They are very large and comfortable rooms.
One of the most favorite ball rooms is the Gold Room. During weddings a signature from the hotel is when they bring their baked alaskas for each table all lit. It is something to see. The Gold Room was built in 1918 in the French Neoclassic & Louis XVI style. It can accommodate up to 500 guests. The chandeliers are gorgeous.
Another smaller room, more intimate is The du Barry Room. The chandelier was imported from Yugoslavia. It can accommodate up to 125 guests.
Every Sunday brunch is served in the Green Room. It is an iconic room with families coming here for this amazing brunch on a regular Sunday or just to celebrate a special holiday year after year. It serves as their main dining room, as well. The oak paneling is impressive and so is their impeccable service. There is live music from the gallery above the restaurant on Friday, Saturday, and during Brunch on Sundays. On Sunday, Crystal took care of us. She was great.
The brunch starts at 10 a.m. and reservations are a must. We were just having a regular breakfast but that did not keep us from staring at all the food that was being set up.
We started with a few baked goods…Crystal staged my plate.
My French Omelette had asparagus, Brie, and white truffle oil. I chose very well done scrapple and I have to say it did come out perfectly crispy on the outside, just like I like it. The fancy cut was something new since at Crystal in Rehoboth Beach…they do not go that far.
These are a few of the Brunch offerings that caught my attention.
The desserts looked well so incredibly delish.
Throughout the room there were other stations offering eggs, tenderloin, pastas, vegetables, breads, cheeses, and seafood.
I have to tell you that Debbie and I behaved well….we did not touch one dessert!!
If you would like to learn more about the history of this iconic hotel, please visit http://www.hoteldupont.com/about-en/html.
Inside the hotel you can find the The Playhouse. This theatre has been entertaining guests since 1913. Comming up is Annie, Chicago, Mamma Mia!, Blue Man Group, 42nd Street, and Jersey Boys. Please visit http://www.duponttheatre.com.
And last but not least, you have to get them for you or for a friend….Dick Bryan their Famous Pecan Macaroons. As you check in or out they are right their behind their counters. I am sure they are addictive!!

This was going to be the first time I was going to IVY even though they have been in business for a few years. IVY is part of the family of Dewey Beach Life. These are: Rusty Rudder, Bottle & Cork, Jimmy’s Grille Dewey, Northbeach, Outlet Liquors, and Dewey Beach Liquors. Both IVY and Northbeach are wedding venues, as well. More info? Please visit http://www.deweybeachlife.com.
IVY is located at Dagsworthy St. & The Bay in the heart of Dewey Beach. Tel. 302-227-9292. The Manager is Brooke Sterling and the Executive Chef is Aileen Delario. Reservations are accepted and there is parking, as well. So far so good, right?
To tell you the truth, I had forgotten what a fantastic view of the Bay this restaurant has. We arrived for a 7:30 p.m. reservation. There would be 6 of us for dinner.
The views from the inside are towards the Bay. The bar is indoors and there are plenty of tables and seating available. Later in the evening the music and dancing would begin.
Al fresco dining with friends…there was talk, laughter and merriment. And of course, photo opportunities as the sun started to set.
Does food relly have more flavor when eating it in the open air? Oh, I definitely think so. At IVY the setting is beautiful and the sunsets are spectacular.
All you have to do is take a seat, then take a sip of a luxurious cocktail, and finally take a taste of their unique offerings.
If you decide to eat al fresco remember that you will be on their beach, so wear your comfortable shoes or sandals.
The menu was divided into Little Bites, Cool and Leafy, Big Bites….And then…dessert. The Little Bites are great for trying different things tapas style.
Our table ordered a little bit of eveything.
From the Little Bites:
The Portabella Pate with truffles, cherry, and ginger.
The Godzilla Shrimp…colossal tempura’d shrimp with seaweed, wasabi and ginger.
The Hamburger Slider….even though it was a slider it was a generous portion.
The Herb Crepe was presented beautifully. It had crab and shrimp and lemon aioli. This was a cold dish. My fellow diners that ordered it liked it but would have preferred it warm. Just a suggestion.
From the Cool and Leafy, a Bib Lettuce Salad with bell, tomato, pickled red onion, pine nuts with an Old Bay vinaigrette. It was light and it was also large enough for sharing.
Big Bites…these were traditional size entrees.
Crab Cake…Jumbo lump, fresh lemon herb tarter, corn and tomato saute.
Ratatouille…for those vegetarian ones and perfect at this time of the year with so many veggies available….tomato, squash, eggplant, zucchini, thyme and chevre polenta.
The Halibut with cauliflower, Madras broth, coconut lime, and microgreens. Very light and mild.
The Scottish Salmon had a spicy jamaican jerk, tamarind glaze over rum flamed pilaf. Loved it!!
No dessert was ordered because we were perfectly satisfied…another time.
Talk to you later…and in the meantime enjoy the sunset!!

After a very satisfying dinner at Sello’s in Ocean City, Maryland, we took off for Ocean Downs Racetrack & Casino. This has been a racetrack for 66 years. We were looking forward to a nice evening of harness racing and a little gambling, as well. Don’t worry our bets were very conservative. Address 10218 Racetrack Rd. Tel. 410641-0600

All of us won some money on that beautiful evening. We laughed…we were there to have fun. First I started picking the horses traditionally….by their starts. Then, I said the heck with this, it is going to be by the names. Their names were just too good to pass.
Here are some of the names: What I say Goes, Girlfriend Bash, Givetheladyabeer, Fashion Villager, Gimmesomeroom, Feelingmightygood, A Wild Impulse, Big Is Better, Howsaboutakiss, Shessoserene, Well Maid.

They say that during summer week-ends Ocean City, Maryland hosts between 320,000 and 345,000 vacationers. Up to 8 million visitors annually. Businessman Isaac Coffin built the first beach-front cottage in 1869 in order to receive paying guests. Guests would arrive by stage coach and ferry. The idea was to fish off the shore, and to enjoy the beautiful and long strip of sandy beach. As it happens, soon after, others followed his lead and built houses on the strip of sand. Then the development came as businessmen were attracted to the area. Two hundred and fifty lots were cut into it; a corporation was formed to help with the development of the land. And, the corporation stock of 4,000 shares were sold for $25 each. The rest is history.
There is plenty to do in Ocean City. The beach is so wide and very clean. Early in the a.m. already visitors choose their spots. Umbrellas up and they are all good to go.
I was spending 24 hours in O.C. with my friend, Cindi. She and I were going to enjoy some of the activities that visitors love in this coastal resort. We were staying at the Sahara Motel. Oceanfront at the Boardwalk’s edge. The Sahara Motel is located at 19th St. and Boardwalk. It does have a very popular Cafe open for breakfast and lunch. Tels. 410-289-8101, 1-800-638-1600. Website? http://www.saharamotel.com.
The Sahara Motel is a sister motel to: Beachmark Motel, Tides Motel, Executive Motel, and Empress Motel & Apartments. You can choose oceanfront, oceanview, poolside, west or tower building. To see the other motels, please visit http://www.bestmotels.com.
The Ocean City Boardwalk is 2 1/4 miles. Early in the a.m. walkers, bikers, and joggers take the opportunity to exercise while having the best view in town.
 Sand Sculpting in OC Just remember to touch at the end of the boardwalk to make sure your walk counts.
Turning around we went off for another 2 1/4 miles. The Boardwalk was waking up.
You can still find some of those cottages that make you say Oh, So Cute!! On the Boardwalk!
If you get tired of walking the Boardwalk, hop on the tram. $3/person one way, but there are other deals available if you are spending the week. Please visit http://www/ocbound.com/boardwalk-tram.
The 42nd Annual White Marlin Open takes place this time of the year. August 3 – 7. It is the World’s Largest Billfish Tournament with a purse of about $3.8 million dollars. This year there were 370 boasts registered. One of the activities for spectators is to go every afternoon to the Harbourside Marina to attend the weigh-in from 4 p.m. until 9:15 p.m. Balancing the tip of the scale can make you a winner of lots of money. Harbourside Marina is at 14th St and the Bay. It gets crowded. You can shop because there are plenty of vendors and you can also have something to eat and a few drinks, as well.
I bought the 2015 T-shirts but then we found a gentleman wearing one from 1988 when the purse was only $50,000.
It was a beautiful evening with plenty of boats in the marina and some were already getting ready for the next day of fishing.
The waiting was over. Only 5 boats went out on Tuesday because of the 10 foot seas. Finally, one of the boats, The Mahi, came in with a tuna. The weight was 19 1/2 lbs. If it had been 20 lbs. it would have won $12,000.
 
Friday, August 7th, is the last day. If you want more info., please visit http://www.whitemarlinopen.com/info/for-spectators.
Late night dinner at Longboard Cafe located at 6701 Coastal Highway was a good choice. They are open for lunch and dinner. A casual atmosphere, you may eat outdoors on their deck or inside. Tel. 443-664-5639. Website? http://www.longboardcafe.net.
We sat at the better where we were able to see a very fast and busy bartender doing his best to keep everyone very well hydrated.
Chris Button was entertaining the patrons and he was excellent.
A Grilled Caesar for Cindi and I…it was good and plenty for sharing.
Halibut Mediterranean style for me with tomatoes, artichoke hearts, capers, lemon, wine and garlic pan sauce. Nice white fish with a mild flavor. Fish comes in fresh every day.
Cindi’s Wild Caught Salmon Filet was also very good…teriyaki sriracha lacquer, field greens, avocado, roasted corn, grape tomato, and a balsamic drizzle.
No need for dessert…
Getting up at 4:00 a.m. on Wednesday to go to the inlet and wish all those boats good luck was tough. But we did it. Hundreds of boats went out on Wednesday.
Walking the OC Boardwalk to get energy for breakfast at Barn 34 located at 3400 Coastal Highway. Tel. 410-289-5376. Website? http://www.barn34oc.com.
 
Mary Anne, Mike, and Michael….The Lawsons!! Great to chat with them and to see them doing so well. Barn 34 is open year-round for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is casual…with a very friendly staff.
Cindi had The Beach Babe…Scramble eggs with sauteed onions, potato, red peppers, chorizo, stuffed into a flour tortilla, and topped with salsa and cheese. Yum!!
I was sold the moment I heard that one of their specials was the Fried Green Tomatoes Benedict…..So delicious, the tomatoes perfectly cooked and seasoned. Grits!!
It was time to head back to Rehoboth Beach….24 Hours in OC went by so quickly but that happens when you are in good company and having fun. Until next time!! Thanks Cindi!

The town of Rehoboth Beach was incorporated in 1873. It was to be a Christian Seaside Resort. But, by 1878 the railroad was extended to Rehoboth Beach, bringing visitors and businesses to the area. A mile long award-winning boardwalk provides the tourists and the residents opportunities for walking, and jogging practically at the water’s edge. Through the years Rehoboth Beach has changed, but it has also kept its charm as a seaside resort where every summer memories are made. It has come a long way. It is a dining destination with so many of its chefs outdoing one another in friendly competition.
