"The freshest opening in town comes from the team behind Wm. Mulherin’s Sons, a Fishtown hot spot for pasta and wood-fired fare. The Quoin, a hotel and restaurant in a lovingly renovated downtown brownstone, specializes in the same delicious Italian cuisine as its Philly sibling. Before dinner, visit Simmer Down, the glowy speakeasy-style bar downstairs, for a well-made cocktail; after dinner, cap the night upstairs at Wilmington’s only rooftop bar." - Ernest Owens, Sarah Maiellano
