#Berlin, #Maryland is one of the prettiest towns on the peninsula. I took a walk through Decatur Park. The path takes you past St Pauls, probably the finest example of Oxford Movement architecture on the peninsula. It glows in the summer sun. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva

Eating out isn't just about the food, it is a joyous occasion. I appreciate a chef who takes the time to present their dishes with flair. Limoncello in #StMichaels #Maryland is one of my favorites: excellent food served with style. www.markontheshore.net/2025/01/01/l... #Chesapeakebay #Delmarva

Sometimes seeing your city through a stranger's eyes is a revelation. I recently went on a Foodie Tour of #Salisbury, #Maryland. We toured six restaurants and it opened my eyes to their excellence and dedication to their craft. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva

#Delmarva is farm country. This area is the center of America's poultry industry. Consequently, we have an abundance of #farmersmarkets. One of my favorites is Lighthouse in #PrincessAnne, #Maryland. When I can, I try to support local businesses and farmers. www.markontheshore.net/posts/

#Salisbury, #Maryland is a small town in the back of the beyond. When we moved here a decade ago I expected I would not be able to indulge my passion for #Asiancuisine. But in fact it is a hot bed for Asian food. One of my favorites: Indian Aroma. www.markontheshore.net/2025/01/22/i... #Delmarva

#Georgetown is the seat of Sussex County and therefore one of the three locations in #Delaware to house a Court of Chancery. These courts have their origin in the curia regis of King Edward I. Their purpose is to restore equity and provide restitution. www.markontheshore.net/posts #Delmarva

Carmela's in #Cambridge, #Maryland is not much to look at. But they sure know how to cook pasta properly. Their focaccia is good too. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva #Chesapeakebay

When I started this project, Abbott's in #Laurel, #Delaware was one of my first reviews. I consider this one of the best restaurants in the area. But more than that, it holds a special place in my heart for the kindness they showed my sick dog. www.markontheshore.net/2024/12/30/a... #Delmarva

There are nearly 50 #craftbrewers on the #Delmarva. I recently visited Revelation Brewery in #Georgetown, #Delaware. After two years of exploring, I have come to appreciate the passion and devotion of brewers to their craft. It's inspiring. My review: www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #bskybeer

#Chincoteague #Virginia is famous for its seafood, fishing, rockets, the lighthouse, but most of all for its wild #ponies. The best way to see them is from the water. You can take water tours to get a close up view of these magnificent animals. My Review: www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva

#Delmarva is a big place. There are many towns and cities to visit. So where should you visit? After two years of doing this project here is my list, ratings, and reviews of Delmarva's towns and cities. www.markontheshore.net/cities-and-t... #Maryland #Delaware #Virginia

#Seaford, #Delaware fell on hard times after the nylon factory closed. In the last few years a number of new businesses have opened in its charming and historic downtown, Brimming Horn, Sabor con Amor, and now the elegantly modern River Rise. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Chesapeakebay #Delmarva

The story of Sisters with a Twist in #PrincessAnne, #Maryland is more than a story about a restaurant. It is an inspiring story about fulfilling dreams, renewal, community, and taking a chance. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva

I have added a new page to my blog, a list of the best #Pubs on the #Delmarva. This page is different than the brewers page. Pubs do not make their own beer, and unlike brewers ratings, pubs must serve food. I rate pubs on the food, not the beer. www.markontheshore.net/pubs-the-bes... #Maryland

There is a trail on #WallopsIsland that takes you through a hilly old growth hardwood forest. There is also very active and playful otter in the brook, and because it is out of the way, you often have the trail to yourself. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva #Chincoteague #Virginia

I recently visited the Academy Art #Museum in #Easton, #Maryland. It is the only accredited art museum on the #Delmarva. This museum though small, punches above its weight. This picture is from an exhibit of revolutionary Mexico photos (pictured). www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Chesapeakebay

I wrote a review of Mogans in Dec 2024. I rate this restaurant the best in #Salisbury, #Maryland. I recently went back to Mogans, my recent visit caused me to move its ranking up two spaces. I now rank it #5 for all of #Delmarva. www.markontheshore.net/2025/01/13/m... #Chesapeakebay

What is the best thing about travel? A good story. Amarin on #Chincoteague Island, #Virginia has an inspiring if incongruous story. A Vietnamese coffee cooperative comes to #Delmarva, bringing, #coffee, Vietnamese culture, and French #pastry. Now that is a good story! www.markontheshore.net/posts/

The #Pocomoke #Forest is said to be America's most haunted forest. So it is perhaps appropriate that the Pusey Branch Trail, located between #PrincessAnne and #SnowHill, #Maryland through this forest begins in a cemetery. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva #Chesapeakebay

I reviewed Out of the Fire in #Easton, #Maryland last summer. Based on a mere salad, I rated it one of the top five restaurants on #Delmarva. I recently went back and had grilled cheese. A great restaurant makes the ordinary memorable. www.markontheshore.net/2025/05/08/o... #Chesapeakebay

The Choptank River, in #Cambridge, #Maryland was made famous by James Michener. The Choptank is broad, and was once traversed by paddlewheel riverboats. The boats have returned for lunch and dinner cruises departing from Suicide Bridge. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva #Chesapeakebay

I view #Vietnamesecuisine as Asia's answer to French cuisine. It is delicate, aromatic, and sophisticated. It is hard to find good Vietnamese on the #Delmarva. Pho Van in #Easton, #Maryland offers authentic Vietnamese. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Chesapeakebay

#Delmarva may be small. It may be a backwater. Besides being beautiful, it is an historical treasure. It plays a central role in American history. This is the Bucktown General Store, where #HarrietTubman was hit with a lead weight. Learn about her here: www.markontheshore.net/2025/02/13/h...

The Pocomoke Nature Trail in #PocomokeCity, #Maryland has everything. An iconic #drawbridge and museum at the start, a #cypress swamp, the howling ghosts of a mother and child, a hardwood forest, and a craft brewer at the end. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva #Chesapeakebay

#PocomokeCity, #Maryland would not be on anyone's travel itinerary. And that is a shame because it contains a haunted nature trail through a cypress swamp, an excellent craft brewer, an excellent museum, and a beautiful setting on the Pocomoke River. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #ChesapeakeBay

This weekend Bordeleau held its strawberry festival. There are, a number of #vineyards on the #Delmarva. One of the best is just outside of #PrincessAnne, #Maryland The owner, Tom Sheldon has a knack for making some of the best red wines in the state. www.markontheshore.net/.../bordelea... #wine

I enjoy communing with nature as much as the next guy. But sometimes I want more out of a hike. The short #StMichaels Nature Trail showcases everything I love about #Delmarva, historic charm, great food, the bay, farms, forests, and marsh. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Chesapeakebay #Maryland

It doesn't get any more #Maryland Eastern Shore than a smoked open-faced turkey sandwich while watching waterman load their boats at the marina on #TilghmanIsland. Big Mack's Kitchen promises "we gonna eat good," and they deliver. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Chesapeakebay #Delmarva

#Delmarva is blessed with a large number of #craftbrewers and #brewpubs. RAR of #Cambridge is one of our more popular brewers, they just opened a new location in #Salisbury, #Maryland. Pictured is their New England hazy IPA. Delicious! My Review: www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #bskybeer #beer

Few places on the #Delmarva combine natural beauty and historic charm as well as #Onancock #Virginia. A walk on the Onancock Nature Trail takes you on a journey through cypress swamps, a botanical garden of native flowering plants, and watery vistas. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Chesapeakebay
