This has been a busy year for our Wilmington restaurants! Everyone knows, although we have never been able to verify the source, that Wilmington NC has more restaurants per capita then any city of its size in the United States. This means choices, easy dining solutions and we eat out more! Even though we update our listing of new openings, closings, moves and ownership changes bimonthly, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with all that is going on.
