The Beginnings of the Restaurant Renaissance of RB

Robert Thompson of the Rehoboth Beach Museum will moderate a discussion with some former restaurant owners. Sydney Arzt owned Sydney’s Side Street, known for its food as well as live musical entertainment. Libby York with partners opened the Back Porch Café in the old Hotel Marvel. Keith Fitzgerald became a partner at the Back Porch, after Libby left to pursue her jazz career in New York. Terry Plowman owned and operated The Front Page Restaurant & Bar on Baltimore Avenue for 10 seasons known for a casual, friendly atmosphere, an eclectic menu, and frequent live music. Nancy Wolfe owner of Chez Le Mer and Joyce Felton founder of  the Blue Restaurant have also agreed to join us. The public is invited to attend and learn the history of this restaurant renaissance.
