New Rooms in Rock Hall
Stopped by Rock Hall’s Inn at Osprey Point to check out The Annex—five new rooms overlooking Gratitude Marina. This is a great stopover for boaters—or those who love boats—as Gratitude Marina lies literally right outside your window. I recommend the Port or Starboard rooms for their top-notch views. Each go for $225 a night weekends or $190 weeknights during summer.
Also during summer, Osprey Point’s restaurant is offering its “2 Can Dine for $59” special, which includes two three-course meals. Highlights include grilled Texas Gulf shrimp, a seafood hot pot with salmon, scallops, shrimp with soba noodles and ponzu broth; and my personal favorite for dessert—a warm valrohna chocolate bombe with hazelnut gelato and raspberry coulis. Mmmmm, bombe….

We’ve just returned from our annual springtime ritual in search of new shops and restaurants at the Delaware and Maryland seashores. You’ll be able to read all about them in our July/August issue, but for now, here’s a sample of what to look forward to:
1. The “All-New” Atlantic Hotel. Berlin’s grand dame gets a much-needed facelift—and a lovely new restaurant.
2. Bethany Blues heads north and opens a second outpost along Route 1 in Lewes. Same tasty BBQ, plus nearly 100 bourbons at the bar.
3. From the folks who brought you Rehoboth’s popular Pig & Fish, comes The Pickled Pig Pub. Look for creative pub fare, microbrews, and wines.
4. Salt Air Kitchen in Rehoboth promises to be big this summer, with a reasonably priced menu featuring locally sourced ingredients. From the creators behind Fusion and Solstice.
5. Last but not least, we sampled some of the best donuts we’ve had at Pop-Pop’s Donuts, a bright and cheery outpost at 4 W. First Street in Rehoboth. All the donuts are served hot—and you get to pick the glazes and toppings. Yum.
