Wilmington, Delaware and the Brandywine Valley. Preservation and progress. Tradition and innovation. Exploring the differences makes each visit to the area unique, filled with unexpected discoveries and moments that couldn’t happen anywhere else on the east coast. Wilmington is the urban hub of the region, the Corporate Capital of America, and the largest downtown in the state of Delaware. It’s a center for banking and innovation, with world-class restaurants, museum, performing arts spaces and, of course, tax-free shopping. But travel north into the heart of the Brandywine Valley, and city streets turn into country lanes, where elegant estates and glorious gardens of a bygone era are a testament to the wealth and influence of the du Pont family and the beauty of their legacy. It is like stepping back into a greater, grander time – amazingly, only minutes away from I-95.

At last… we found our new coffee spot. ☕️✨

📍 Bean head coffee bar
714 W 11th St., Wilmington, DE

Serving up handcrafted coffee and espresso drinks, matcha, teas and fresh pastries, this neighborhood spot brings plenty of personality to every cup. Think house-made syrups, their signature "Dirty Ice" and a soulful atmosphere inspired by R&B music.

Good coffee, good music and genuine hospitality!

25 years later, we remember.

Today, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We honor those who answered the call to help and the families and communities forever changed by that day.

To our neighbors in New York, and to all those who carry the memory of September 11 with them, we stand with you in remembrance.

Never forget.
