DOWNTOWN NEWARK

 

Come on spring!!! We know most people are ready for the sunshine and warmer weather and so are we! This has been a brutal winter. Time to start thinking warm, happy thoughts. Downtown is welcoming spring with its Annual Wine and Dine Downtown event at the end of the month. This is a fun and wonderful event and grows each year as word gets around about the unique and enjoyable Wine and Dine.

As always, downtown is the perfect cure for winter cabin fever. If you are around for an event at the University of Delaware, a business meeting at a nearby office, or out with family and friends, make sure you stop by our unique and diverse shops and restaurants!

There is no better place to be when you just have to get out of the house!
 
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Downtown Newark Partnership

Wine and Dine

A culinary and wine extravaganza featuring a dazzling array of tasty delights prepared by the chefs of downtown Newark's very own restaurants complemented by fine wines from around the world. Participating restaurants are paired with a winery or wineries to showcase its wines and the restaurant's culinary abilities.

 

Restaurant-winery pairings will offer a $2.00 per 2 oz. taste of wine! Premium tastings may also be available at varying prices. Attendees will enjoy the spring air as they stroll the downtown Newark wine trail! Stroll, taste, shop and dine with friends with lots of wineries, restaurants and unique shops at your fingertips. This event offers strolling entertainment and promises to be an adventure for your mouth as well as excite your other senses!

Restaurant and winery pairings are currently "under construction". There are 15 downtown restaurants stretching from Main Street to Elkton Road participating and we expect approximately 25 different wineries available for tastings!

Menus will be available at www.enjoydowntownewark.com after March 12th.

The Chapel Street Players presents Neil Simon's classic comedy,
"Last of the Red Hot Lovers". Taking place in the late 1960's, "Last
of the Red Hot Lovers" is the hilarious and touching story of Barney
Cashman, a middle-aged, nebbish man who is dead set on joining
the sexual revolution before it's too late! Middle-aged Barney Cashman
who married his high school sweetheart wants to have one sweeping
extra-marital romantic fling in his tranquil, faithful, marriage before life
passes him by. On three different afternoons, he brings women to his
mother's apartment while she's at the hospital doing work. Behind plentiful
laughs is a tender portrayal of a decent fellow who just can't succeed in
sinning. This is a comedy that will linger with you even when the laughs
become an appreciative memory."


"Lovers" is directed by Don Pruden, stars Ron Ozer as Barney Cashman
and features Pat Cullinane, Lori Ann Johnson and Kathleen Kimber.
