I'm in the area. I live in West Chester, PA. For me, Wilmington is about 20 minutes away from me (down Rt. 202.)
One of my fav. places to eat is the Iron Hill Brewery. (
www.ironhillbrewery.com). They have locations in West Chester, Media, North Wales, Newark and Wilmington.
For more ideas on dining, here's the website for visiting Wilmington:

Remember...Delaware doesn't have sales tax in their state!
