For Wilmington concerts, Market Street and the surrounding Downtown Business District offer a variety of delectable restaurants, all within a short walk of The Grand. The fare ranges from traditional American to fusion to upscale dining. Many offer locally sourced food and drink as well.

In addition, The Grand Opera House offers a full bar and concessions onsite, but please note: ALL Grand Opera House concessions are CASHLESS (i.e., electronic payment only).

A sampling of some of our favorite Wilmington restaurant choices include:

The Quoin Hotel (located at 6th & Market Streets) is the Official Hotel of The Delaware Symphony Orchestra.
