“One of the nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” pavarotti
And when we stop and enjoy dinner with friends, the experience is priceless!!
Dewey Beach was somewhat quiet last night, if you can imagine. During the day the yearly event of the Running of The Bulls might have deterred some to even have dinner in town. Not us. My friends, Debbie, Amantha, and Sharon had a destination in mind…..Two Seas. This restaurant has been in Dewey for over 30 years. It is family owned and run. On any single night all owners are there, greeting you at the door. There is no rush to get you in and out. Friendly conversation, more so when one of my friends is a true “native”.
Rooftop Dining…so glad we were able to get a table because the views are the ocean on one side and the bay on the other. The night was comfortably warm, not much of a breeze, though. Perfect for eating al fresco. Two Seas is located at 1300 Coastal Highway. It is at the corner of Van Dyke Ave. and Coastal Highway. Tel. 302-227-2610. There is parking underneath, which not many restaurants have in the area.
I usually try to avoid going out on the week-ends….it gets hectic at the beach. This week-end, Friday and Saturday with friends was a lot of fun.
Let’s get to the topic at hand…eating. The Delaware Beaches are a dining destination. Chefs are outdoing themselves with so many innovative dishes. Last night our choices are always on the Menu. So many years of preparing these dishes…they truly have perfected them.
They do run specials and last night’s Spicy Tuna & Avocado Maki Roll is something we shared while having some wine.
I had not realized it but my choice of the Sweet Onion Crusted Red Snapper is the same dish that I ordered in 2010. It is delicious, oven baked served with Madeira sauce and caramelized onions that added a sweet touch. Amantha and I had the same dish and both of us loved it. This is a signature dish.
Debbie’s entree was the Cedar Plank Scottish Organic Salmon with potatoes and fresh vegetables….she said “All done to perfection, no complaints.” It was broiled with a maple glaze.
Sharon decided on the Two Seas Angel Pasta. It was tossed with their own marinara freshly made with vine ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil, and toasted garlic. Finished with parmesan. This dish can be enjoyed by itself or you may top it with shrimp, scallops or chicken.
No dessert was necessary; we were completely satisfied.
Please note that there is no elevator and you do have to go up the stairs.
Relax, you are at the beach!!

The post on AboutMyBeaches on Wednesday, July 3rd, will tell you what’s going on from Dover, Delaware, to Ocean City, Maryland…plenty of celebrations on this 4th of July. Some of them are easier to get to and out of than others. Rehoboth can be tricky because of the amount of visitors attending the Fireworks.
One square mile and about 100,000…Where do you park? How do you get in and out of Rehoboth Beach? My recommendation is that you get there super early and stay late. Enjoy the pre and post concerts by The Funsters at the Bandstand.
But, the Town of Rehoboth Beach recommends that you use one of the 2 shuttle bus services providing transportation to the fireworks, including the Kiwanis shuttle buses of the DART Park & Ride buses. Both lots are located on Highway 1, near County Bank. You will see plenty of signs directing you to the parking lots.
The Kiwanis lot will provide Dawson school buses from 5 p.m. to midnight for a flat fee of $10 per car.
DART Park & Ride lot opens at 7 a.m. DART will run buses until 2:30 a.m. for a fee of $8 per car which includes 4 bus passes. Cash buses are $1 per trip.
Starting at 6 p.m. today, 4th of July, vehicles will be detoured for the first 2 blocks of Rehoboth Avenue. Later on all major intersections will be closed to all vehicles. An exception will be made for emergency and handicapped.
Meters and parking permits are in full effect. You don’t want a ticket on the 4th, do you?
Even if you park in the DART or Kiwanis lot, you can ride either bus out of town. Buses will have priority leaving Downtown Rehoboth Beach.
The Jolly Trolley will run from 8 a.m. until 2 a.m., with a revised route from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. The drop off and pick up is located behind Jack Lingo Realty Office on Christian at the Jolly Trolley uptown stop. More info? http://www.jollytrolley.com. Call 302-227-1197.
Have a Great 4th…wherever you choose to celebrate, even if it is at a friend’s house!

I was totally surprised to hear that people think Tulip is a garden center. For many years I lived in the town of Bethany Beach….that’s where Tulip is from. It was in town and always was a must stop shop in Bethany. A few years ago it moved to Rehoboth Beach. The store has a much bigger locale and plenty of parking.
Tulip is located at 29819 Highway One, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-226-2696. It is family owned. Website? http://www.tulipltd.com
The store was always known for its lighting. Today, Tulip offers furniture, accessories, and gifts.
It also has a really cute corner for children, with sweaters hand knitted in Rehoboth Beach. Gifts for babies and fun things for toddlers.
The store is full of neat ideas for the holidays. I found and actually, bought, the Corkcicle. On my picture, if you look to the left of the lamp you can spot it. It freezes and then it cools your wine from the inside out.
The Dazzler is a battery operated candle. It has a LED bulb technology, it lasts about 5 hours, and runs on 2-AA batteries.
Holiday and New Year’s decorative place mats, napkins and surprises.
The glass crab ornament caught my attention.
Besides having a room dedicated to Vera Bradley, they also carry Bosom Buddy Bags.
Tulip also carries gifts for every occasion.
For the women that enjoy jewelry, a line from Florida, completely handcrafted with organic elements, nickel and lead free…also hypoallergenic.
You can find even some even on sale.
The second floor offers furniture, lighting, art and home accessories.
Now that you know that Tulip is not a garden center, by all means, stop by. They are very helpful if you are somewhat clueless on what you would like to purchase for that person that has it all.
Talk to you later. Have a good one!!

What a nice morning it was! Definitely, was. I arrived with my friend, Gayle, at the 38th Annual Outdoor Fine Art & Craft Show located at the Rehoboth Art League. There were cars parked everywhere, on lawns, on the streets, as well. Nobody was blocking anyone.
The Rehoboth Art League is one of the places I enjoy bringing visitors. It is in the Town of Henlopen Acres. It is so unique. The art and craft show was very nice.
As I got back to my car I noticed the ticket on the window. When I arrived at 10:15 a.m. there were no signs anywhere to be found that said No Parking. Nothing, not at the League, not at the entrance of Henlopen Acres. I have not found it on the brochure or the website.
The hand written sign said no parking; believe me when I say it was not there. I called the 24 hour security phone 302-542-3323. I spoke to Officer Bennet, who is, I think, the one that gave me the ticket. “You need to call on Monday the Town Hall”. Talk to the Manager.
Okay….then my next stop was at the League again. Their response was that they try to work with the Town of Henlopen Acres and pretty much they seemed to have washed their hands off.
That answer was so lame…All I could think of was Entrance to the show $5, exit $50. If I was the Rehoboth Art League I really would be so embarrassed.
Hello…it is your event. For years people come to support you. It is your responsibility to inform all of us where to park. I know Henlopen Acres has their own rules and regulations but I did not know I had to park on the residents lawns.
I live in Rehoboth; not in Henlopen Acres. I feel so disappointed. I paid $5 to get into your show; only to have a $50 ticket waiting for me at the car.
If I sound upset, it is because I am. I did not block the street and that sign was not there at 10:15 a.m.
Note: Stay tuned for a follow up post after speaking to the Town Hall.
A blog is a diary; my own….so what have you done today? Have a good one!!
