Delaware has few Italian restaurants that I would define as being outstanding. Recently, on Kirkwood Highway, not far from University of Delaware Campus, a new Italian restaurant called Soffritto opened, and it is by far the best Italian food I have had in this area. The atmosphere includes dim lighting, private booths, a fireplace in the wall, and a small bar area. Their appetizers are out of this world - especially their broccoli rabe dish, and their spinach and artichoke appetizer. They utilize only the finest cooking ingredients and the food is beautifully presented. They are always more than accommodating if you want specialty salads ordered, or have special requests, and my husband and I are just thoroughly impressed with the food, the portions, the presentations, the service, and the atmosphere. It is an environment that is both couple and family-friendly, and the prices are slightly higher, but the food quality is also far superior! cjaneb877

The Children's Place has some nice clothes for chidren but, in my opinion, most of them are overpriced. The cutest things are for the littlest kids, especially babies. Some of the clothes that I have looked at for older girls (age 7), seem a little "mature" for a child so I don't buy much of that. The baby clothes are usually very cute but I have to wait for a REALLY good sale before I go there.

I like the western YMCA. They recently upgraded all of their equipment in the fitness center. This particular YMCA has great hours of operation. The downside is that they do not have ample parking for the members. Another downside is that you may have to wait for a machine to work out on.

I get food from the Number 1 Chinese Restaurant a few times a month. They are an all take out place and they have good food nad it is always fresh and quick. My daughter favors the Wonton Soup as her favorite thing to eat here but I am a bit more daring and like to try many of the combination dishes that they serve. They have a sesame chicken dish which is spicy but very yummy. They also have the typical rices, lo meins and egg rolls, all of which are very tasty. They make the food quick so you never have to wait a long time and they are always fresh. Service is also very friendly!

Excellent place to take you children to learn gymnastics. Instructors at People Plaza are great. They are very patient with the children and keep a close eye on them to ensure their safety. They also have birthday parties with a decorated room. This store is part of a shopping center so there is plenty of parking.

If you like water ice this is the place to go. The prices are reasonable. The water ice is extremely tasty. Go early to avoid lines but if you have to wait it is well worth it. I really like the freebie that they offer on the first day of spring each year.

Bagelmania is a wonderful ma-and-pa bagel shop in Suburban Plaza, conveniently at the crossroads of Christina Parkway and 273. The place is hopping by mid-morning, but service is quick and friendly. They have a fantastic variety of freshly baked bagels, my favorite is the cheddar-dill. They also brew New England Coffee, and keep at least 10 different blends on hand during their operating hours, ranging from cinnamon roll to chocolate raspberry. Recently, they've started providing a full-service espresso bar. It's definitely worth stopping at for breakfast or a quick coffee.

Margherita's Pizza is one of the locals' favorite spots for quality pizza. It's rediculously affordable, and the slices are huge. "Let's get together for Margherita's" takes on a whole new meaning in Newark. It's in a tiny shop, so I'd just get your pizza to go. The pizza parlor is located on Main Street, and street parking is available.

These guys made my life simpler by opening this car washing facility very near to my home. I went to thank them for this simple reason and guess what, they gave me a month’s free car wash (one per week, so about four). They did attract customers that way but after a couple of years their service deteriorated. I frequent here just because it is near to my place. They charge you reasonably but if you want to clean your car at the cheapest price this is not the place to be at.
