You’ll find yourself staring at each other across the table at one of the same handful of restaurants over and over, and the folks at the local mega movie theater know you by name. Why settle for another boring dinner and another action movie when Delaware has so many romantic spots? Start with these 10.
- Tour the historic homes in Odessa.
