As construction began in 1824 on a canal to connect the Delaware River with Chesapeake Bay, Chesapeake City was born. If you need to walk off a couple of pounds after a big meal, there are many streets in the historic district that you can explore. If you are traveling by boat, you will not be alone. The eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay is now the most popular place in the US for retirees. Instead of finding a parking spot, which can be extremely difficult during the summer months, customers can drive up in their boats to any number of docks provided by both restaurants.
Customers can even order from their boats if they like to dine in a more causal setting.
If you prefer elegance, yet lack a boat for your transportation needs, do not fret. Blue crab meat dipped in old bay seasoning with a little butter or seafood sauce is awesome. Chesapeake City s best restaurant for Maryland Blue Crabs is called the Tap Room, which is also among the top places for blue crabs in northeastern Maryland. If you are a rookie at eating crabs or it has been a while, the Tap Room has a 1999 Wilmington News Journal article on how to eat crabs mounted on the front wall. This feature story on the Tap Room has a step by step set of pictures to enhance your eating experience.
