triumph features Bardea Food & Drink, a contemporary dining spot with a menu that restaurateur Scott Stein describes as “interpretive Italian.” Opened last year to high acclaim, and now popular among residents and visitors alike, Bardea was named a James Beard Award semifinalist for Best New Restaurant. In fact, it has done so
well in its Market Street location that Stein has opened an offshoot, Pizzeria Bardea, in the new DE.CO Wilmington. Another Market Street victory is Gable Music Ventures, a special events producer that launched the Ladybug Festival in 2012 as a block party for the residents of the 2nd and LOMA neighborhood in downtown Wilmington. The annual summer event has grown

of women in music, attracting approximately 10,000 attendees.
The owners of Gable Music Ventures have since expanded to other cities
and other music festivals.

to play, and want to see grow. This is the community where business is ready to thrive, and NewMarketWilm is there to continue telling that story.
