One restaurant known by many has recently been recognized at a national level for their outdoor dining.
While the weather in Delaware and Pennsylvania obviously doesn't allow for dining outside all year round, we still have a few months left to go.
OpenTable released their list of the top 100 restaurants for outdoor dining across the country and the Kennett Square Restaurant, 1906 at Longwood Gardens, is on the list.
According to the restaurant website, 1906, is named in honor of the year Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954) purchased the grounds in 1906. The land was developed into Longwood Gardens. 1906 is a seasonal dining option with a menu focusing on locally sourced ingredients.
Additionally, plan to enjoy some music during your visit to Longwood Gardens. This summer you can listen to the music of Taylor Swift playing at the Festival of Fountains.
Two Philadelphia Restaurants Make Top 100 List
In addition to 1906, Philadelphia is home to two other restaurants making OpenTable's list.
Parc at Rittenhouse Square, a Steven Starr concept serving French cuisine. Enjoy menu items like Croque Madame and Moules Frites, among other dishes with a French flair.
Also, Talula's Gardens in Washington Square, another Starr restaurant. At Talula's you can expect a menu full of European favorites, including Mediterranean Branzino and Lamb Bolognese.
Methodology used to determine the top outdoor dining options in across America
To put the list together, OpenTable used reviews sent in from their verified diners.
You Aren’t A True Delawarean Until You’ve Done These 9 Things
True Delawareans are proud to be from the first state and they let you know it. You can't mistake a person from Delaware for a person from anywhere else. But you aren't a true Delawarean until you've done these 9 things.
We brought you You Know You're From Delaware If You Say These 16 Things". Now, you can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?
Delaware Pride
We polled people from the first state on what really makes someone a "True Delawarean". Of course there were the stereotypical identifiers that most people know. But then, the answers took a left turn and we started seeing answers that even we forgot about.
Being a true Delawarean doesn't mean you have to be born and raised here. No siree. You could be a transplant but as long as you've experienced the things on this long list, you can say you're from Delaware.
There's even a funny little song that someone created. Now we're not sure if we agree with everything he sang about but it is pretty entertaining.
Facts About Delaware
Aside from the obvious like shopping with no sales tax, there are so many other things that make you a true Delawarean.

Created Your Own Backroad Route
Delaware Roads Are Always Being Worked On
With the amount of construction in our small state it's kind of a right of passage to come up with your own alternate route based on traffic lights and no turn on red.
If you have a backup for your backup route, you're even more Delaware than the rest of us.
