Wilmington has its own Renaissance on the waterfront

Imagine a beautiful spring day. You've just left the ballpark and are strolling along the waterfront in the heart of downtown. When you're tired of walking, there are numerous shops and boutiques along the promenade to pique your interest and a wide variety of restaurants to choose from. There are even tables outside on the patio where you can take in the scenery while you dine and watch the sun set.
