Tasty burgers downtown, consider sharing any meal you get. The scotch eggs are super tasty. I go for the onion rings b/c every time I get fries they always seem to be the bottom of the barrel. Salads are big enough for 4 to share. Big platters, small location, some outdoor seating, usually a wait. Good cocktails.

Best coffee in town (for me). Serve Counter Culture coffee; good vegan and gluten free snacks. Good open and well air conditioned location. They make an exceptional "flat white".

This is our big art house in town. Its a nonprofit museum with changing exhibits in 2 wings. Half-price bottles of wine and open late (till 9pm) on Thursday nights. They usually have live music in the cafe or the performance space on Thursday nights. If you like slightly sweet whites, try their Chardonnay. I generally don't like Chard.

Food scene
Once while eating here, I cried and had to stop eating because the food was so glorious. Not everything mind you, but the Uni was fresh. This is my favorite sushi place in town by far.

Probably the best Italian I’ve yet found in Wilmington. Don’t be deterred by the location and the parking lot out front. It’s not pretty. But the food is exceptional.
