Delawareans are the best kind of people – from our small towns to our largest city, you’ll find the kindest people of all inhabiting the First State. We’re generally easy going, like we’re transplated southerners in the busy northeast. However mellow we might be, there are a few things that you’ll never catch us doing, such as the following:

And because you aren't paying for the Maryland name, they tend to be more affordable, and the best ones are found at little hole in the wall restaurants in the First State.
The DuPont family impacted the state of Delaware in tremendous ways - from the incredible mansions to the highway system, we've got a lot to thank them for. Plus, they gave us the unbelievable Enchanted Woods, which is the best place to spend a warm afternoon. (Find the Enchanted Woods at Winterthur - 5105 Kennett Pike/Route 52, Wilmington, DE 19807.)
So, there you have it. While we’re a mellow gang, there are just some lines we won’t cross. What’s something that you’ll never be caught doing?
