Nikki's Gourmet Market and Sushi Bar

What great sushi in a decidedly unique locale. Located on 16 S Front Street in historic Wilmington, Nikki's is a small restaurant with an all-glass front that allows you to look out at all the happenings on the street in front of you.

I ordered the Ikura, salmon sushi, and salmon, cream cheese, and scallion roll. Plain. Simple. Fresh. Delicious. The green tea smelled of Jasmine and is always my favorite. The Ikura was a little salty, but other than that, the meal couldn't have been better.

I'll definitely go again. I suggest you come on in and have a try...

Coastal Cupcakes

What a cute little spot! Coastal Cupcakes is a delightful little cupcakery located on the corner of Princess and 2nd St. in historic downtown Wilmington. Look for the colorful awning.

I tried the key lime cupcake with key lime glaze and powdered sugar. The cupcake was so moist and fresh with a perfect splash of the tropics flavor. My tongue was in heaven with the play of tangy key lime and the soft sweetness of the powdered sugar.

I'll definitely be back. Visit them yourself at... http://www.coastalcupcakes.com/
