Places to Eat in Wilmington
Orienting Yourself:
The Sheraton is at 422 Delaware Avenue. Turn right out of the hotel, and Delaware morphs into 10th Street; three-five minutes walk in that direction, and 10th Street intersects with Market Street at Rodney Square. Go across the street from the hotel, and Washington St is on your left.
Downtown
In addition to the hotel restaurant, there are several eating options within 5-10 minutes walk from the hotel.
