Well the weather has finally turned, with cool days and cooler nights ushering in festive winter holidays and the deep stillness of winter. One of the best ways to relish the season is over lunch or dinner at restaurants that are especially cozy and comforting. Thanks to input from folks all over the state, I’ve compiled a list of [...]
Today’s post is time-sensitive for two reasons: One, we have a big election coming up on November 5th, and if you’re new to Delaware you might have questions about who represents your district and need some additional info from the Cape Gazette’s Election Guide before casting your vote.
