The
center of the small town of North East is a nice historic district with
free parking and a variety of shops and restaurants. The
cemetery is so old that it has the graves of Native American Indians and
Colonial settlers. The
seafood is particularly good. We had terrific asparagus
and crab soup and crab cakes at Steak and Main. Woody's,
another restaurant in the next block, is well known in the region.
You
can drive south through Elk Neck State Park, but to see the
lighthouse you will need to walk the last mile. Or, take a
boat ride to the point from the marina in town.
North
East is near several other QuaintPlaces: Havre
de Grace, Chesapeake City,
New Castle, and the Brandywine
Valley. This area is a good weekend getaway from
Baltimore, Wilmington, or Philadelphia. |

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.
|
Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
