Lewes, Delaware

In our lifetime, Lewes--"the First Town in the First State"--has gone from a sleepy, out of the way beach community to something approaching the Hamptons. We found the Saturday "farmers" market to have high-priced specialty foodie producers rather than salt of the earth farmers. The historic area is fluffed to a fare-thee-well.
