Sophisticated soft jazz playing in the background, warm inviting atmosphere, friendly and helpful service, and great food. Sunrise Café in #Salisbury, #Maryland just opened in the old RiseUp location on E. College. It is my new sandwich/breakfast place. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva

Oaked 100 in #Snowhill, #Maryland is a local neighborhood #whisky #pub. Their cuisine is American comfort food with a southern twist, and let's face it, southern cuisine is American cuisine at its best. Bourbon and southern cuisine; the perfect combination. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva

#Halloween is just around the corner, so it is a good moment to highlight the #Ghost #Museum in #Berlin, #Maryland. I love the whimsical vibe of this museum. But, it is also educational. Why do CPR dummies all look the same? Learn the answer is here. www.markontheshore.net/2025/10/16/g... #Delmarva

There are no big cities on the #Delmarva so we don't have many James Beard chefs here. And that is why Ruse in #StMichaels, #Maryland is so special. Fine dining is not just about taste, it is texture, and presentation. Chef Currell's food is art. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Chesapeakebay

#Pizza is the elixir of life. I have been searching for the best pizza on the #Delmarva for two years, that is an impossible task. But Pop's Kitchen in #Berlin, #Maryland reminds me of the pizza I used to get at the beach. Great memories. Good pizza. Life is good. www.markontheshore.net/posts/

#StMichaels, #Maryland is one of my favorite towns. I rate it in my top 5 tourist destinations on #Delmarva. In my view, October is the best month to visit St Michaels because everything is still open, the weather is perfect, and the crowds have thinned. www.markontheshore.net/2025/01/02/s...

Halloween is here. What better way to start the season than a walk through the Old Furnace Loop Trails in the haunted and cryptid filled #Pocomoke State Forest in #Snowhill, #Maryland? But make sure to give way to the #sasquatch at the designated crossing. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva

I acquired my love of small-town museums when traveling the New England Highway in NSW. Each town seemed to have their own museum, at first blush, they seemed little better than junk shops. But I walked from every single one, having learned something about farm life in Australia.

Blacksmith in #Berlin, #Maryland is one of my favorite restaurants. It is owned by renowned chef, Justine Zegna. Zegna creates innovative dishes, using farm-to-table ingredients. Blacksmith my preferred dining choice, when I have out of town guests. www.markontheshore.net/2025/01/03/b... #Delmarva

If you enjoy music, dance, and theater #Salisbury #Maryland is one of the best places to live on the east coast. Why? Because Salisbury University has an excellent performing arts program, staging professional performances. And most of it is free. www.markontheshore.net/2024/12/30/s... #Delmarva

I have a new memorable dish to add to my list, Savour's, of #Salisbury, #Maryland, Rock Fish Imperial. It combines our famous #bluecrab with #rockfish on a bed of asparagus. Perfectly cooked and artistically presented. Life does not get better than this. www.markontheshore.net/posts/ #Delmarva

The #Delmarva coast is notorious as a graveyard for ships. In the 1800s the government set up a series of life-saving stations along the coast. The Life-Saving Museum in #Rehobothbeach, #Delaware recounts the story of the brave men who served in this service www.markontheshore.net/2025/01/01/i...

#KentIsland, #Maryland sits on the east side of #Chesapeakebay just across from #Annapolis. Most people just pass through on the way to the beach. That is a shame because it offers everything that can be found on #Delmarva: #vineyards, sea food, boating, & #marshland. www.markontheshore.net/posts/

On #Delmarva you quickly learn that life revolves around the sea and #Chesapeakebay. The presence of both is reflected in the food and ambiance of our restaurants. Portside located on the harbor in #Cambridge, #Maryland provides a front row seat of our watermen. www.markontheshore.net/posts/

A French #pâtisserie is more than a bakery. Pâtisseries elevate baking to works of art. Eating a pâtisserie #pastry is like eating a Picasso. Bonheure in #Easton #Maryland produces some of the best pastries I have eaten this side of Paris. www.markontheshore.net/2025/03/24/b... #Delmarva

#Snowhill #Maryland is an unlikely place to Hang 10, but it is the best kept secret on the #Delmarva. It has all the charm of Berlin, without the crowds. Hang 10, a poke restaurant, just opened on the downtown Green Street culinary corridor. It is worth a visit. www.markontheshore.net/posts/

In summer, I like to walk our in-town trails. One of the best is the #TilghmanIsland, #Maryland Back Creek Park. Though small, you see #Chesapeakebay vistas, you pass a marina. But what I like most are the majestic parkland trees that remind me of Hyde Park. 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/
