Up and down the coastal towns of Delmarva, residents and merchants are making sure that the historic towns they have chosen to live, work and play are preserved with respect and dignity.  Historic Berlin, Maryland is one of such towns just a few miles west of Ocean City, Maryland, in Worcester County.  Every time I visit Berlin, it brings back memories of many years driving my kids to and from Berlin, when they went to school.  The Globe was a place I probably stopped more than a few times a week.  So, when Cindi and I decided a few weeks ago to stop by…lunch at The Globe was a must.  We were the first ones there.  Perfect for those photo opportunities.

The Globe is located at 12 Broad St., Berlin, MD 21811.  Tel. 410-641-0784.  Website? http://www.globetheater.com. The Proprietor & General Manager is Jennifer Dawicki.

We were able to walk around at our own pace since we were early.  The first thing you will notice is their Coppertop Bar.  Plenty of stools available with happy hour from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.

Upstairs, in the Balcony Art Gallery & Lounge, as well as throughout the Globe you will see works of local and regional artists on display.    On Thursday, May 9th….a Murder Mystery Dinner will be taking place at the Balcony Art Gallery & Lounge.  Once a month this event attracts many customers for a night of dining and mystery. Please call for tickets. 410-641-0784. $25/person.  7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.

On the first floor, there are different areas for dining.  The Globe was a theater, so you might end up eating on a balcony.

Or, across from the stage, which is where Cindi and I decided to sit.

The Globe is open Tuesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner and Sunday Brunch.  It has Wi-Fi, offers a kids’ menu and it is also handicapped accessible.

It is funny how I love going out to lunch and dinner with friends…and then I start wondering what can I eat that is low fat, low carb, low sodium…crazy, isn’t it?  Why bother?

Cindi and I decided to be very good and this is what we had:

Black Bean Burger Wrap, made in-house, tucked away with spinach, avocado and an order of their most delicious fresh fried tortilla chips and a pickle.

dscn2228

Mine was the Jerk Chicken Wrap….grilled jerk chicken, spinach, pineapple, red onion, mozzarella cheese, and honey mustard dressing.  It was also served with their tortillas and a pickle.  That’s all we ate!!  I think we did well.

Jeffrey Auxer Designs, Berlin, Gallery, Studio, Blown Glass, Fine Art, Classes, Parties, Maryland, Worcester County

Up and down the Delmarva Peninsula historic towns are being preserved by residents and merchants.  The Historic Town of Berlin is one example.  On any given day, this town, which by the way, looks like a movie set, is bustling with visitors.  If it is not one thing is another….but, they always have a concert, a festival, merchants’ stroll, you name it.  The shopkeepers are young and interesting, new restaurants have opened this summer; making Historic Berlin a shopping and dining destination.

From Rehoboth Beach and other Delaware Beaches, it takes about 45 minutes.  If you live on the Delaware and Maryland coast, then you are probably used to driving.  I really don’t mind it one bit.  A road trip?  I look forward to it!!

My friend, Susan, and I stopped at Jeffrey Auxer Designs.  The building is unique and it dates back to 1897.  It is located at 19 Jefferson St. in Berlin, Maryland.  It is behind the Atlantic Hotel, which is located on Main Street.  Can’t miss it.  It is the center of the town.  Jeffrey Auxer Designs closes on Monday, but it is open the rest of the week.  At this time of the year it was the perfect place to pick up a few Christmas presents.  His Tel. is 443-513-4210.  His website?  http://www.jeffreyauxer.com.

The ring holders were so cute.  Jeffrey also makes rings and earrings.

dscn0536

The art of blown glass.  The deep colors of the glass.  The amazing shapes.  All this you will find at Jeffrey’s shop.  A person who blows glass is called a glassblower, a glassmith, or a gaffer.

dscn0533dscn0538

Jeffrey offers classes, either individually or in a group setting.  You can also bring your party to the studio.  He has room for 8; kids or adults.  You can find more info. if you visit the above mentioned website.

dscn0537

I bought one of the ornaments and I also bought a couple of bowls.

dscn0076

The studio is so colorful and Jeffrey is very friendly and easy to talk to.

dscn0081

Berlin is beautiful this time of the year.  This is, definitely, a must stop shop while visiting this Historic Town.

Note:  Jeffrey also exhibits at Gallery One, located at 32 Atlantic Avenue in Ocean View, Delaware.  It is a few miles west of Bethany Beach.

Talk to you later…

Historic Berlin, Maryland is only about 6 or 7 miles from Ocean City, Maryland.  From the Delaware Beaches, the drive is scenic, especially at this time of the year.  If you live here, you probably know the shortcuts; the back roads.

This historic town is beautiful all year-round, but in the fall it is sooo pretty!!  Park on Main Street and walk to the restaurants, shops, bake shops, and wine bars.

One of the shops to check out is NEST, located at 11 South Main St.  It opens Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.  Sunday from Noon until 4 p.m.  Tel. 410-629-1030.  You can find NEST on Facebook.

The shopkeeper is Dee.  I have known her for a long time.  She is so friendly and an amazing artist.  Her aprons and bags are sought after.  The fabrics changing with the season.

I bought this blue bag with palm trees for my friend, Marisa, when I visited her in Colorado in August.  She loved it!!

You do not want to miss her Santas during the holidays.  All handmade with rich fabrics.  Definitely, they are collectors’ santas.
