Eclipse Bistro: A Total Eclipse Of The Plate
May 17, 2016 by
One of Wilmington’s best restaurants, Eclipse Bistro offers a spectacular menu of New American cuisine, crafting well-conceived dishes with excellent ingredients. The food walks a fine line between comfort and creativity, with desserts like the S’more bread pudding mixing classic preparation with haute ingredients. The ambience is intimate and well assembled, with little nooks for romantic encounters over food and wine. If you’re on your own, grab a seat at the bar—great appetizers are still available and the bartenders are some of the most gifted in the city, with a vast array of cocktails at their fingertips. If you’re a wine drinker, Eclipse is jumping on the wine flight trend, with three smaller servings coupled with your meal for the price of a single glass. It’s a great way to sample a taste of the restaurant’s surprisingly deep cellar.

Catch an Action Flick in 3D at Penn Cinema IMAX
May 10, 2016 by
Instead of standing in a winding line at the box office, moviegoers at Penn Cinema IMAX step right up to one of four kiosks that dispense tickets. The system is much faster and more efficient than your typical movie theater, a fact that many Yelpers are quick to point out in their glowing reviews of the theater. Grabbing tickets quickly isn't the only reason locals choose Penn Cinema IMAX, though.
They also appreciate the all-encompassing experience of seeing a movie in one of the massive IMAX theaters. Lean back in one of the large, comfy chairs in the stadium-style auditorium and allow yourself to get completely swept away in the action. The high-energy flicks that are screened in the IMAX theaters typically include some 3D action, so grab a pair of glasses before you head inside. You also might want to pick up a few snacks, first. Locals like the pretzel bites, but you can't go wrong with standard popcorn and soda, either.

Downtown Newark: Lots To See & Do
April 26, 2016 by
There is always something happening in Downtown Newark. It’s a college town, a colonial treasure and a bustling business sector, all rolled into one! Bring the family and you’ll always find something special on Main Street. If you’re looking to shop, you’ll find an eclectic mix of stores as varied as they are interesting. Where else can you find a jewelry store down the street from a classic comic book shop?
Or just walk around and discover the varied history of this area as part of the Nation’s “First State.” On a nice day, you can’t beat the scenery, even if you just want to people watch! And dining can be a difficult choice because there are over 60 restaurants on Main Street and adjoining streets. No matter what you want, it's just a short walk away — and just minutes from Riverfront Heights!

Union City Grille: Good Food, Done Right
April 12, 2016 by
Tired of the fancy food that never delivers on taste? Come to the Union City Grille, where the motto is “Where food tastes the way it should.” Located near Wawaset Park, the Union City Grille has recently changed its menus, but not its commitment to great food! Come for lunch and try the award winning chili with braised beef ribs and a cornbread crouton, or go for a great sandwich or lunch special entrée. Happy hour starts at 4:30 p.m., so head into the lounge for daily drink specials and tasty apps that are half-off on Mondays. On Mondays, all burgers and sliders are half-price, and Wednesday is the day for linguini and mussels! Sunday dinner is the best, because it’s “Choose your cut” filet night. Try to save room for the tiramisu, or the rice pudding brulee.
