At river's edge mature plantings surround a bluestone dining patio, providing a private space to enjoy river views. Walk down The Strand for easy access to New Castle's historic museums, William Penn's historical plaque and statue, the First State National Historical Park's Welcome Center, and many restaurants and shops. Delaware's Tall Ship the Kalmar Nyckel docks at the nearby wharf in season, and the Battery Park Trail wends from there south along the river.
