It’s not easy being all cooped up at home right now, but due to the threat of COVID-19 and a global pandemic, Delawareans everywhere are quarantining themselves in their homes and avoiding their friends and loved ones. Once we’re free to socialize again, though, there are a few things we’re going to do right away! Check out our list for when quarantine is lifted in Delaware.
- Meet up for an Oyster happy hour.
Facebook / Trolley Square Oyster House Find your favorite raw bar — if you’re in Wilmington, it’s hard to beat Trolley Square Oyster House — and get ready for a buck-a-shuck happy hour for the ages.
- Host A Crab Boil.

- Visit Winterthur.

- Head to the beach!

- Go out for a BIG family meal.
Facebook / DiFebo’s Bethany Beach You might want to think about where you’ll make your reservations now! Places like DiFebo’s, Scalessa’s, and Big Fish Grill are sure to be jam-packed when they re-open.
- Take a hike around a scenic Delaware park.

- Feast on boardwalk junk food.

- Attend a concert in Wilmington or Dewey Beach.
Facebook / Bottle and Cork The Queen was the last place I went before the threat of COVID-19 reared its head, and it’s certainly going to be one of the places I visit once it re-opens. Tickets to shows in Wilmington and at Bottle and Cork in Dewey Beach are sure to go quickly!
- Take the whole family out for farm fresh ice cream.
Facebook / Vanderwende Farm Creamery Once quarantine is lifted in Delaware, plan to take the whole gang out to one of Delaware’s dairy farms — Vanderwende Farm Creamery, Woodside, or Hopkins Farm - and feast on a sundae as big as your head. It’ll be the best way to celebrate our lives getting back to normal after quite a trying time.
So, tell us, which of these activities are you looking forward to the most? Would you add anything to your post-quarantine bucket list?
